Lindsey Fitness News - 21st December 2023 - Happy Christmas!🎄

Published: Thu, 12/21/23

Firstly, my apologies...... for the cancelled classes on Monday and Tuesday evening this week due to circumstances beyond my control. I was so disappointed not to see you for our final Festive sessions at Presdales and Monks Walk to wish you a Happy Christmas in person. The Wednesday class at Wodson Park ran as scheduled thankfully and well done as always for embracing our final workout of the year!!!! For Lindsey Fitness online members this Christmas there is a Walkfit & Hand Weights mini session - 1700 steps, 1.7 miles without leaving the room! Also a mini fast blast HiiT session and a Fitness Pilates Accumulator for using as much as you like along with a huge library of other online workouts over the break. I'll certainly be out walking and running (with Frank the Vizsla) as I have the Welwyn half marathon event on the 7th January supporting our 2024 London Marathon from the Lindsey Fitness Running Club.

It's always good to have a physical or practical focus for the other side of Christmas at this point to help keep any overeating and inactivity at bay. I am happy to know many of my members feel the same by using the online library of workouts throughout the break and other that have signed up for the Reset are now sub consciously primed for eating sensibly and thoughtfully.

For those not yet familiar with Janet Thomson's Colour Fast Reset there is an overview in this Newsletter and still a couple of places available to book. We start on January 8th for the 21 day programme which will leave us cleansed , energised and trimmed up by the end of the month!!!!

In Food Matters this week there's a traditional bubble and squeak recipe , just perfect for using up all those leftover veggies.

It only leaves me to wish you all a very happy and healthy Christmas , taking time for you and your loved ones. Create happy, fulfilling memories with them by embracing all that is good in your life at this time.

I'll see you back online from Tuesday 2nd January and in classes from Wednesday 3rd January

With my love and thanks, Lindsey xxx

On a slightly different note....

Christmas is different for everyone of course, a time of celebration with family and friends , reflection, gratitude and optimism maybe, but also for some, remembrance of loved ones lost. In my role now as an Independent Celebrant I am sending my love to all those families I have had the privilege of serving this year, and am thinking of you.

Christmas, as families come together may also be a time when engagements are announced, wedding dates or special wedding anniversaries planned - as an Independent celebrant please know I would be honoured to create and deliver your special celebration or ceremony.

Take a look at my Celebrant Website and do get in touch for an informal, no obligation chat. Please share with family and friends too.

Our Traditional Christmas Walk took place last Sunday from Tewinbury Farm with members of the Lindsey Fitness Running Club and several 4 legged friends enjoying the Hertfordshire Countryside. Festive Hats and Jumpers made for a colourful 90 minute walk in the dry but slightly windy weather. We were reminded that last years walk took place in the snow!

Mince pies and treats for the dogs were welcome at the finish too.

Lindsey Fitness Running Club group sessions recommence from Sunday 7th January 2024

Janet Thomson's 14-Day Colour Fast Reset Program

A Journey Towards a Healthier Lifestyle

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to fall into unhealthy eating habits and neglect our overall well-being. Many of us find ourselves consuming processed foods and sugary drinks, which can lead to weight gain, low energy levels, and a host of other health issues. Janet Thomson, a renowned nutritionist and author, has developed a revolutionary program called the 14-Day Colour Fast Reset, designed to help individuals literally reset their eating habits and embark on a journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

The Colour Fast Reset Program is based on the concept of consuming a wide variety of colourful fruits and vegetables, which are packed with essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, along with good quality protein. By incorporating these nutrient-dense foods into our diets, we can cleanse our bodies from toxins, boost our immune system, and improve our overall well-being.

The program begins with a comprehensive guidebook that outlines the principles of the Colour Fast Reset. It provides detailed information on the benefits of consuming a rainbow of fruits and vegetables, along with practical tips on meal planning, grocery shopping, and food preparation. Janet Thomson's expertise shines through as she explains the science behind the program, making it easy to understand and implement.

The succinct 14-day intermittent program is divided into three phases, each focusing on a specific aspect of the reset process. The first phase, known as the "Cleanse," is designed to eliminate processed foods, refined sugars, and caffeine from our diets. This phase allows our bodies to detoxify and prepare for the upcoming changes. The second phase, "Rebalance," focuses on reintroducing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables into our meals, ensuring we receive a balanced array of nutrients. Finally, the third phase, "Revitalize," encourages participants to maintain their newfound healthy eating habits and incorporate them into their daily lives in a now cleansed and reset body.

What sets the Colour Fast Reset Program apart from other diets or detox programs is its emphasis on sustainability and long-term success. Rather than promoting restrictive eating or quick fixes, Janet Thomson encourages a shift in mindset towards a healthier lifestyle.

One of the unique aspects of the Colour Fast Reset Program is its focus on the psychology of eating. Janet Thomson recognizes that our relationship with food goes beyond mere nourishment and that emotional factors often influence our eating habits. Through her program, she addresses the emotional aspects of eating, providing tools and techniques to help participants overcome emotional eating and develop a healthier relationship with food.

The success stories of individuals who have completed the mentored format of the 14-Day Colour Fast Reset Program with Lindsey are a testament to its effectiveness. Participants report increased energy levels, improved digestion, weight loss, and an overall sense of well-being. The program has also been praised for its simplicity and adaptability, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and dietary preferences.

Janet Thomson's 14-Day Colour Fast Reset Program is a game-changer for those looking to reset their eating habits and embark on a journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

Traditional Bubble and Squeak

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups boiled potatoes, mashed
2 cups cooked cabbage, brussel sprouts, leeks finely chopped (in fact any left over veg you choose)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup cooked meat - optional (such as leftover roast beef, turkey, chicken .... bacon is also good), finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped vegetables, onion, garlic, and cooked meat. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste. Remember to go light on the salt if your cooked meat is already seasoned.
In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. If desired, you can also add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to help with browning and prevent sticking.
Once the butter is hot, add the potato mixture to the pan, spreading it evenly to form a thick pancake-like shape. Press down gently with a spatula to compact the mixture.
Allow the bubble and squeak to cook undisturbed for about 10-15 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the bubble and squeak using a spatula. If it breaks apart, don't worry; just reshape it in the pan.
Cook the other side for an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Once both sides are crispy and the inside is heated through, remove the bubble and squeak from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
Cut the bubble and squeak into wedges or squares and serve hot as a side dish with your favorite accompaniments. It pairs well with fried eggs, good quality sausages, or even a dollop of tangy tomato chutney.

Note: Bubble and squeak is a versatile recipe, and you can customize it by adding other leftover vegetables or herbs to the mixture. It is traditionally made with leftovers, so feel free to experiment and make it your own!
