February ISSUE 2015

....With Christmas now a distant memory and New Year’s resolutions slipping a little, the days are getting longer, 2015 is well underway - it’s February already!

If, like me, you wish you’d hibernated for most of January, a very warm welcome back to our bright, vibrant and handy little magazine!

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, so for extra Brownie points with that special someone, why not think outside the box? Take a romantic country walk, share a lovingly home-cooked meal, spend time just being together – because if they’re ‘the one’, that’s what they’ll value most.

Until next time………

He a l th & Be a ut y

My Story...Paula Atkins During my time at school, I was never overweight; far from it. I was the ‘sporty one’ taking part in everything that was offered from Athletics to Netball to Hockey to Rounders and anything inbetween.

This was until, during a game of netball aged 18, I significantly injured my knee. My sport ceased, my eating increased!

After major knee surgery I hoped that a return to the sports that I so desperately missed was on the cards, I was however to be disappointed. From that moment on, food became my pleasure, my release. I had swopped running around a sports field for eating; anything that I could find that would make me feel ‘happy’ again.

In 2008 I married my boyfriend of 8 years wearing a size 14 wedding dress. I remember feeling really pleased that I didn’t need the 16! Three months later we had the amazing news that we were expecting our first child. This was to me, like a green light to literally eat anything and everything in sight. I put on 4 stone during the pregnancy justifying it to myself as ‘baby weight’ as I was after all ‘eating for two’. If I’m honest, the amount I was eating, I could have fed 8!

On April 1st 2009, our first son Charlie was born.

Talk about love at first sight! He was perfect in every way and weighed a very healthy 8lb 8oz. I on the other hand, weighed a very unhealthy 15st 5lbs.

News of this weight shocked me and I reassured myself that the scales within the doctors surgery were obviously super sensitive as there was no way I could have possibly been that heavy.

Twenty-one months later on January 2nd 2011, our second son Josh was born. My weight during this pregnancy had remained steady, in fact, after his delivery, I hadn’t put on any weight at all…I had managed to eat ‘normally’ for the entire 9 months! I was amazingly proud of myself.

Over the next three years, we faced many health battles with our youngest son. At the tender age of just 3 months, he was diagnosed with epilepsy. This was our first ever experience of the illness and to say it was/is a rollercoaster, is an understatement. I would turn to food as a ‘coping’ mechanism each and every time Josh was admitted to hospital and again, try to justify it to myself.

The turning point for me came when a friend told me that she had started ‘Cambridge Weight Plan’. I 16

had previously heard of the diet as Before my mum was a consultant when it was known as ‘The Cambridge Diet’.

My friend explained that it had developed somewhat, with a greater choice and with my agreement, booked me in for my first appointment.

I can honestly say that I turned up to this appointment with absolutely no intention of seeing the diet through, after all, how could I possibly feel full consuming such a small amount. As my consultant, Jacqui, was talking to me and taking me through the health questionnaire, I remember laughing to myself that there was no chance I would be back as the chances of me actually finding a product that was palatable let alone enjoyable, was almost none existent. I even said to Jacqui not to expect me back but that I would try. And I did.

I was pleasantly surprised! Amazed actually. Not only did I enjoy the shakes, I even found myself looking forward to having them! And not because of feeling hungry either, in fact, hunger didn’t really ever factor. My first weigh in loomed and I was ecstatic to learn that I had lost an unbelievable 9lbs in 7 days. I was so shocked I had to check that the reading was right! How was it possible?!

It wasn’t long before I reached my first stone loss.

And then my second and third ticked along. Before I knew it, Jacqui was writing 5 STONE LOSS on my record card, I think I had tears in my eyes and big goofy grin on my face! Yes, I still had over a stone to go but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have been able to get so much weight off, so quickly and so ‘easily’. Yes it took commitment. Not once in the entire time did I ‘cheat’ or go off plan. For me, it just wasn’t worth it. Seeing the numbers I was getting each week was enough, and so much more satisfying than food!

The comments from friends and family have been very motivational too. Another way of ‘keeping me focused’. My mum said, very early on, that once I had achieved my goal, whatever that was, that she was treating me to a shopping trip to kit me out with a new wardrobe.

‘Where have you gone?’ has to have been one of my favourite comments, it gave me a real sense of pride and accomplishment. My energy was back too.

Playing with my boys has been so much easier and more enjoyable. Bouncing on the trampoline to have Charlie say ‘mummy, I like it now your tummy isn’t so big, you never bounced with us before’ literally

To advertise call 0844 6933228

bought tears to my eyes. I had missed out on lots of memories, all because of being overweight.

Instead of ‘mummy is tired and she needs a sit down’ the boys now get ‘right what are we playing next?’ My happiness is clear, you can literally ‘see the After happiness’. The best way of describing my journey is like my dimmer switch has been turned up.

I had never realised what a huge impact being overweight was having on me and how self-conscious I was.

Now, as I slip on my size 10 jeans for a night out, I don’t need any encouragement to go out and have a good time. No longer to I feel like the short fat one!

All I can say from here is thank you. Thank you to my friend for introducing me, thank you to my husband and ever supportive family, thank you to Jacqui for always being there when I’ve needed you and thanks to Cambridge Weight Plan for helping me change my life! I am now an Independent Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant and am loving the opportunity of helping people achieve 'the possible' and lose their weight too. I couldn't be happier.'

Recent weeks have seen an upt Conference North fortunes...

After a spell around the lower reaches of the table Saints climbed to mid-table with a string of spirited performances.

The traditional Christmas double header saw Saints face Gloucester City home and away in the space of a few days and experience the highs and lows of football. First, on Boxing Day in terrible conditions of driving rain and freezing temperatures Saints lost to a 92nd minute goal having played for the entire second half with ten men after Tom Sharpe’s sending off.

Gloucester City play at Cheltenham Town’s ground after their own ground fell victim some years ago now to flooding and plans for a new stadium are still on the drawing board. The Cheltenham stadium is a football league standard ground but on this day parts of the pitch also

turn in Brackley Town’s almost disappeared under water and at times it seemed the game must be called off. It wasn’t and City stole the points with the late sucker goal.

Just a few days later and Saints wrought their revenge winning at St James Park before travelling away to Gainsborough Trinity to garner a further win and climb up the table.

While there remains a long way to go, there is rightly greater optimism in the Brackley camp that a place of safety can be reached and the photographer Ian Martin threat of relegation disappear.

With a difficult run of games through January this moment is likely to remain some way off so continue to watch this space as the ups and downs of a tough Conference North season continue to unfold right through until May.

T he G ard en in F eb r u ar y Setting out your stall With spring fast approaching, there’s never been a better time to start thinking about successional planting of your flowers and vegetables, says Buckingham Garden Centre’s Chris Day. If you caught the flurry of gardening programmes in the television last month then I’m sure many of you will be all fired up to make your garden even better this year. Sumptuous wide borders brimming with luxuriant flowers and productive vegetable beds crammed with delicious produce may look great on the screen, however, translating it to your own garden needs a bit of planning.

The key to a successful garden is as much about the choice of plants, the varieties of crop and, most importantly an understanding of successional planting.

Simply put, succession planting - following one crop with another is the most important tool for maximising a garden's yield. Creating a detailed succession plan now eliminates the guesswork of what and when to plant later on in the season.

So, let’s start in the vegetable plot. Get started by making a list of all the vegetables you want to grow

and developing an understanding of their individual growth habits and preferences.

Catalogue descriptions and seed packet instructions offer each vegetable's vital statistics, including when to first plant in spring, how many days the variety takes to reach maturity, how much space it requires, and if it is frost-tolerant.

Consider, too, how long each vegetable is productive. Some crops, such as Radishes and Rocket, have a harvest period of just a few weeks.

Carrots, salad crops, and other vegetables with an intermediate maturation time may be sown in spring and again in late summer for autumn and winter harvests. Others, including Tomatoes and Peppers, are long-season crops that bear continuously, while Brussels sprouts, Sweetcorn, and Pumpkins remain in the ground for several months but only bear at the end of their season.
