March 09, 2005 | Winter Newsletter
New Beginnings I am sitting here writing this, thinking about where my second year in business will take me. This is the time of year that people look to their health and lifestyle again, whether because of an over indulgence of Christmas puddings, food, alcohol late nights; or the New Years resolution to stop smoking; or looking ahead to losing a few pounds for that bikini clad holiday. So if you have overdone it or over-indulged during the Festive season, why not let me help you plan your health goals for the New Year, and stick to your resolutions. Here are some ideas of how I can help:
Let 2005 be the year when you stay focused and achieve your goals. Qualifications You will know from my last newsletter that I was in Canada in November doing a course. I learned so much, and came back with a wealth of practical knowledge ranging from general preparation, through to working with specific diseases including diabetes, cancer, and parkinsons. I am still waiting for my certificates to arrive, but I am pleased to tell you that I now have my Master's Certification in QXCI/EPFX/SCIO. I cannot wait to put everything that I learned into practice! I have also recently gained a certificate in Indian Head Massage.

How to Contact Me Phone: 01224 210700 (this is automatically diverted to my mobile and there is an answering message if I am switched off) Email: rasma@quantumnorth.com Health Goal for 2005: Get Fit Everyone indulges too much at Christmas. This means that the body gets used to more food and sugar. Now is the time to replace chocolate with more fruit, and to cut down on the amount you are eating at each meal. Less is more, but don't starve yourself either! Drink three litres of fluid (pure water, natural fruit juice or caffeine free tea) per day, plus an extra litre of water for every hour of exercise you do. Benefits:
If you want to lose weight, set yourself a realistic target to lose each week (i.e. 2 pounds), and exercise. Benefits:
If you go to the gym, vary what you do during a 60 - 90 minute session. You can also swap gym sessions for swimming or a yoga class too. You may have to reassess your lifestyle to fit in exercise - walk to work, instead of taking the car; encourage your partner to come with you for a walk with the dogs or out in the hills at the weekend, etc... If you start losing motivation, it is probably because you aren't instantly achieving your goals. REMEMBER: it takes between 6 - 8 weeks to start seeing results.
