A Note From Liz

Hello!

After the cold but calm weather last week, this week promises to be a stormy one. Just in time for Younger Son, who is currently on the Ark Royal. Yup, that’s right, they’re letting Younger Son on the Royal Navy Flagship. I did tell him that he’d spend the whole week swabbing the deck, and on an aircraft carrier, that’s a big deck!

And the rest of us have got to get our sea legs again, having been marooned on the island of Holiday – too much food and too little exercise. It has to stop!

Let’s get ourselves organised for this year, so we can step out confidently into summer when it eventually comes.

Let's Get Back on Track

Almost everyone overeats and under exercises at Christmas. Yes, thin people do it too. So don’t feel you are a failure if you have put on a few pounds.

And if you want to change your shape, starting off a new regime in midwinter is not easy.

Now I know I have some Antipodean readers – so if you are in Australia, no excuses, I know it is your summer!

For the rest of us, a better time to transform your life is the spring. When the days start getting longer, the sap is rising and the buds are bursting etc., etc. It’s much easier then to be energetic about change.

But it’s a good idea after the holiday to do a mental “detox” and decide what you are going to do differently this year.

Here are some pointers to get you going in 2009.

Resolve now to get back to healthy eating. Smaller portions, not too much stodge, plenty of water, plenty of salads, veg and fruit. Starting today, give way or throw away your last holiday leftovers. Better off going to waste than going to waist.
Get some exercise. Find a safe way of exercising for the weather in your locality. Aim to do several days a week, not just when the mood hits you. Set yourself a realistic starting target and stick to your plan. Exercise only works when you do it – sitting thinking about it is less successful!
Set a goal to build up your health and fitness level, not just to lose weight. Between January and March if you eat sensibly and exercise regularly you’ll be building up your muscles and getting your metabolism going. When the spring sunshine does arrive you’ll have shaken off the winter sludge and be ready to zoom into summer!

Doing the weighing and measuring (see weight loss tips in this newsletter) will give you the motivation you need to get you started. Now build on that and determine to be fitter and healthier by spring.

And let me know what your targets are, so you can be accountable for the changes you are making. One of my clients is running in the London marathon (more of that in future newsletters) so she has made a decision to be accountable for her fitness – what are your goals for this year?

About Liz

I have been looking after people’s health for over fifteen years.

With a background in biochemistry I was initially interested in how to boost metabolism to promote weight loss and how to feel satisfied after eating – what the nutritionists call “satiety”. All of these things are important for weight loss but for many people the biggest change comes about when they conquer their emotional eating.

I know this because as a child I was stocky, and then became chubby, then fat! I hated exercise and loved food. And my love of food went way beyond physical hunger.

I still love food, but now I know how to enjoy and how to set limits around it – all without feeling deprived.

With a training in coaching and NLP as well as my knowledge of biochemistry and nutrition, I am ideally placed to solve your problems with emotional eating.

Liz’s credentials…

Degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge (that’s where I get my biochemistry knowledge).
Degree in Nutritional Therapy (that’s where the nutrition knowledge comes from).
Module leader in Masters Level Module Tackling Obesity at the Centre for Nutrition Education & Lifestyle Management. On this module I lecture on the biochemistry of eating and starvation, satiety mechanisms, stress and obesity and emotional eating.
Fifteen years experience as a herbalist and health coach.
Practitioner level qualification in NLP, Coaching and Stress Management.

And, most importantly, a love of food and a passion for health, wellness and vitality!

Weight Loss Success Tips

So where are you now?

If you are planning to lose weight this year, now is the time to assess where you are.

Overall on a fat loss programme I’d advise going by the fit of your clothes and how out of breath you get going upstairs, rather than obsessing over the scales.

But at the start, you need to know where you are. It’s like those maps at railway stations and airports – they helpfully have an arrow with “You are here” written on them.

So where are you? Get on the scales and find out your weight. Get the tape measure out and find out your girth. Yes, I know it’s painful, but if you don’t know where you are you could spend the next six months going round in circles.

Then when you know where you are, plan where you want to be. In three months or in six months.

And imagine the pleasure you will get when you see the measurements dropping. You’ll weigh less on the scales, and the tape measure will go round your waist more easily…

Foodie Fact

Oh my darling…

Let’s hear it for Clementines.

“In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine, dwelt a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter…”

No, not that Clementine! I’m thinking of the small edible citrus fruit.

Just a perfect little package of calories and sweetness to have at the end of a meal. With its vitamin C and phytonutrients what’s not to like?

Take a look at the work of the Circle of Women – Reach and Teach Across Borders. A group of Harvard undergraduates have got together to raise funds for a girls’ school in Afghanistan.

When so many of us have benefited from education it’s difficult to comprehend how limiting women’s lives can be without it.

The school list is already oversubscribed and it’s not even built yet, so they need your help! Take a look at their website. And give generously.
