Lindsey Fitness News - 18th July 2024 - A Little Help Goes a Long Way

Published: Thu, 07/18/24

Hello There!

Oh the disappointment - but we can be so very proud of how far we got... all the way to the EUROS final, beaten only by a Spanish team who had been pretty much faultless throughout the tournament, we couldn't have lost to a more deservig team.

So proud too of the Summer Resetters , nothing can bring bring us down having smashed the programme pretty much faultlessly too. We are now in the last few days of the very succinct fasting protocol and feeling pretty awesome it has to be said.

The 24 hour fasts we had built up to last Sunday and Monday were a breeze and held no fear or hardship. We were safe and comfortable in the knowledge our bodies were totally ready, full of nutrients, ready to do what was needed through the fast. Carrying out maintenance , repair and a 'deep clean' uninterrupted by food - a thorough MOT if you like. The recipes shared by us have been so delicious - I have posted an insanely tasty Spiced Roasted Cauliflower recipe in Food Matters this week. Use as a side or main meal- so yummy!

The next reset will be in October, with interest already being registered and I currently have one available space left for the 121 - 6 week mentoring package. Helping YOU to better, the right way on YOUR terms.

Apologies for having to cancel the Presdales class again this week, but I only received notice from the school on Saturday - so was unable to secure another venue in time. Well done and thank you to those coming across to another class, using an online session or getting out for a walk instead.

In my other role as an Independent Family Celebrant, I attended a Women's Business Networking group last week. It's a chance to promote, share and chat about what you do, with like minded women who are also passionate about what they do. I met a really lovely lady called Shoshana who has founded a charity called help 4 the homeless. Shoshana works tirelessly to help provide food, clothes, support and essentials for rough sleepers and the homeless in Hertfordshire and Central London. We chatted at length, and I asked about how I might help in some small way. So this week I have highlighted the amazing work the charity does and how you can perhaps help too. Just a small gesture that will help and mean a lot ,kindness costs nothing, and giving it will always make you feel better too.

Thank you in anticipation

Have a positive and active week, and I'll see you in classes and online.

Spotlight on Help 4 the Homeless

As I mentioned , I last week I met Shoshana Gilmore, founder for the Help 4 The Homeless in Hertfordshire and Central London. Shoshanna was at a business networking meeting I attended to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by the homeless and their dogs living on the streets of Hertfordshire & London. It's a serious issue and Shoshanna works tirelessly to get continual help, support and supplies for those who find themselves in such grim and dire circumstances.

Many Charities as you may know help the homeless at Christmas but H4TH helps all year round whatever the weather. Read more about how Shoshana and her Husband started the Charity in 2017 after seeing a homeless man sleeping on a park bench in Watford.

How We Can Help - I asked Shoshana about things the sort of things they need , and she told me how even basic toiletries can make a difference. Something as simple as wet wipes for someone to clean their hands and feet would help - which really struck me and prompted me to ask how I could help in some small way. . The Charity is always desperate for supplies that can cost next to nothing but mean so much.

So I am just suggesting (if you would like to help).... to add one (or more if you would like of course :0)) extra item to your shopping basket over the next couple of weeks from the following list . Bring it to me at classes or at the running club before the end of July and I will then get them to Shoshana on behalf of Lindsey Fitness members. My little extra's for the charity arrived this morning, so our collection has begun.....

As a suggestion then......

*Baby wipes [ Morrisons as the most reasonable at 55p a pack)

*Aldi shavers (ALDIs version of Gillette)

*Small packs of pocket tissues

*Soap

*Small three in one body wash and shampoo (Aldi have one)

*Small moisturise

Small suncream

*tooth paste and tooth brush

*sandwich bags also great to bag everything up.

(items need to be small for the homeless to be able to carry)

Thank you so very much in anticipation on behalf of Shoshana

FOOD MATTERS:

Spiced Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic & Feta

INGREDIENTS:

1 small head cauliflower
6 garlic cloves, smashed
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons fennel or cumin seed
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Salt and ground pepper
Feta cheese, sliced or crumbled
¼ cup parsley, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped
¼ cup coriander, mint or dill, tender leaves and stems, coarsely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1

Heat oven to 200 degrees. Slice cauliflower lengthwise into ½-inch thick slices, including the core and leaves. (Some of the first slices will crumble and fall apart. This is O.K., and will be useful when you want those crispier bits.)

Step 2

Place cauliflower (slices and crumbles) and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with fennel or cumin seed, turmeric and red-pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Roast, without disturbing, until cauliflower has turned a deep golden brown and crisped up in spots, 25 to 30 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the larger steaks and stir the smaller bits around , crumble over the feta and continue to roast until completely and evenly browned, another 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from heat and transfer to a large serving platter. Top herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. - ENJOY!

Having now secured m place in the run for MRF, I will continue raising much needed funds for them to continue their amazing work.
