Slimming World is marking its 40th anniversary by

unveiling a brand new eating plan which promises

no counting. And because it's based on basic

everyday filling foods it fits easily with the family

whatever their lifestyle. Members are already

having great results on the scales - as well as

saving money on their weekly shopping bills!

Using the power of Free Food, food that needs no

weighing, measuring or counting, Slimming World

have created this brand new eating plan that

makes new members' first few weeks of food

optimising even easier and adds even more

flexibility for existing and Target members.

How would you love to enjoy fish, chips and mushy

peas? Chicken curry and rice? Meat, potaotes and

vegetables - all with no weighing, measuring or

counting?

No kidding! There is so much Free Food available

with Slimming World that you couldn't possibly

ever be hungry, it's so easy !

300,000 members attend Slimming World every

week and achieve outstanding success. Members

lose 17,857 stones every week: 2,551 stones

every day, over 106 stones every hour, that's 1

stone 10 lbs lost every minute of every day with

Slimming World. So go along to your local group

where you will receive all the help and support you

need - and if you take four friends along with you,

you will get free membership saving all of you £5

Making the ChangesTo maximise your chances of keeping those

resolutions, here's some tips.

1. Write down your goals. If they're down in black

and white you'll have something to refer to

later.

2. Be realistic. They're got to be achievable

3. Be specific. Rather than; 'I want to lose

weight', make it 'I want to lose 7lb by the end

of February, to help me get to my ideal weight

by June'.

4. Work out the practicalities of actually

implementing your goals, for example; 'To

lose that 7lb, I'm going to swim three times a

week and cut out biscuits'.

5. Set deadlines and a timeframe to reach your

goals and be prepared for the slump, when

your initial enthusiasm gives way to the

drudgery of doing it.

6. Don't try to do too much at once. Stopping

smoking, losing weight and getting fit all at

once is probably a bridge too far for most

people and you're more likely to fail on all

counts and s oo late to get the help you

need.

9. Keep a diary of your progress. Psychologists

say that keeping a record of what you've done

makes it more likely you'll stick to your regimen

and reach your goal.

And if you fall off the wagon and drift back into

your old ways, don't worry another New Year is

around the corner for you to try again!

“An optimist stays up untilmidnight to see the New Year in.A pessimist stays up to make surethe old year leaves.”Bill Vaughan

New Year’sResolutionsWhy do we make them?New Year’s Resolutions are a great idea and most

people make them in varying degrees of

seriousness, The idea is sound cleanse oneself of

bad habits and start again with a clean slate. We

pledge to lose weight, exercise more, and quit

smoking. We decide to save more, spend less,

become more organised.

But do our resolutions work? Usually not, say

psychologists, because they're based on wishful

thinking rather than commitment. And more often

than not, we set ourselves up to fail, knowing as

we make the resolution, we are unlikely to keep to

it. It’s almost a game of ‘lets see how many days I

can manage this year, before I fall off the wagon!”

So does this mean we should forget about New

Year's resolutions altogether? Not at all. It’s a

useful exercise to take stock and realise that there

are some things in our lives we'd like to change.

Finding the right way to go about it is the answer.

The New Year is useful in that it gives us time to

mentally prepare for the changes we are trying to

make – knowing we're going to have to make them

sooner or later. The holiday season might be a

good time to view the past year with objectivity to

see what does and doesn't need to change and

the New Year can bring a sense of focus and

renewed energy to make the changes and if or

when you feel your focus and resolve slipping -

usually towards the end of January, seek help to

keep you on the straight and narrow.

PLANNING Avoid congested areasA little time spent planning your route can significantly reducethe time spent in the car. It’s arguably better to be on the move than stuck in heavytraffic.....plus it helps keep your blood pressure in check!!

PREPARATIONHave a clear out Remove all your unnecessary items from the back seat and inparticular your boot. Excess weight uses more fuel - an extra100lbs of weight can increase your fuel bill by 2%.Tyre PressureCheck your tyres to make sure that they are at therecommended level. Research shows that for every 6psi the

tyre is underinflated your fuel consumption increases by 1% -under inflated tyres can cause fuel consumption to increaseby as much as 6%.

ON THE MOVETake your time Harsh acceleration and heavy braking all contribute toexcessive fuel consumption and can consume up to 30%more fuel. Accelerate slowly and smoothly and then get intohigh gear as quickly as possible,Slow down Driving at a reduced speed will undoubtedly help with the fuelconsumption of your vehicle. As a rule anything over 3000revs makes your car less fuel efficient. Driving at 70mph asopposed to 50mph can consume 25% more fuel so reduceyour speed and drive steadily.Parking Parking the car is everybody’s least favourite manoeuver but ifyou can get into the habit of reversing your car into a parkingspace you could save fuel and money. Your car is far lessefficient when cold and consumes much more fuel whenreversing. Reverse into the bay when parking up so that youcan simply drive away forwards when you leave.Air ConditioningUse your air conditioner sparingly. Using you vehicle’s airconditioner on a hot summer day can increase fuelconsumption as much as 10% in city driving. At low speeds,opening the window will reduce fuel consumption by reducingAirCon use. At higher speeds however, using the AirCon maybe more efficient than the wind resistance from open windowsand sunroof.

MAINTENANCEServicingService your vehicle regularly. A poorly tuned engine can useup to 50% more fuel and produces up to 50% more emissionsthan one that is running properly. And clogged, dirty air filterscan cause up to a 10% increase in fuel consumption.Tighten the Fuel CapAlways tighten the cap to the second click to prevent fuelevaporating. It’s estimated that loose, missing or damaged fuelcaps cause 147 million gallons of fuel to evaporate every year.Happy and efficient motoring!

‘Mothering Sunday’ was originally the day when in

16th Century Christian practice one would make

an annual visit to one's mother church, which

meant that most mothers would be reunited with

their children on this day. Later it was the one day

a year when servants were allowed to visit their

families. In the UK it’s celebrated on the fourth

Sunday in Lent, but in the US and many other

countries, they have a fixed date, often the second

Sunday in May.

Whether it’s called Mother’s Day or Mothering

Sunday, most countries in the world have chosen

to celebrate motherhood every year, but it’s

becoming more and more commercialised and the

original sentiments forgotten. It is now largely a

secular festival, becoming one of the biggest

occasions for gift giving and card sending after

Christmas and one of the most popular days of the

year for eating out (so if you were thinking of

treating your mum ot a meal out, book early!)

According to the Flowers & Plants Association,

Mother's Day is the biggest event in the UK's cut

flower and indoor plant industry. At this time of year

the UK's sales of cut flowers and indoor plants

increase by an average of 40% on a normal day's

trading. The British Retail Consortium reckon that

around £45 million is spent on Mother’s Day cards

with around 30 million cards sent, and around £55

million is spent on chocolates, with around 4

million people buying a box for their Mum.

But it’s become all too easy to nip call into the

petrol station on the way to visiting your Mother to

pick up a card and bunch of cut flowers. Where

has the special occasion and thought disappeared

to?

We’re interested in finding out what our readers

feel would make the best Mother’s Day gesture.

As a mother, has any of your children ever

surprised you with an exceptionally thoughtful gift

or gesture? Or is there anything they could do that

would make you feel really appreciated?

As a child, have you ever pulled out all the stops

to give your mother something really special on

Mother’s Day, and what was her reaction?

Please let us know and we’ll include comments

and feedback in the next issue. In the meantime,

we’ve dug out some quotes that people have said

about motherhood. Do they strike a chord with

any of you readers?

Do you haveanythingplanned yetfor Mother’sDay?Mothering Sunday, to give the day

its proper name, falls on March

22nd this year - what do you have

planned to show your mum just

how much you appreciate her?

“The joys of motherhood arenever fully experienced untilthe children are in bed.”Author Unknown

“You know you’re a mother when

you use your own saliva to clean

your child’s face, and when your

child throws up, you catch it.”Erma Bombeck

“No matter how old a mother is, shewatches her middle-aged childrenfor signs of improvement.”Florida Scott-Maxwell

“A mother is a person who seeing

there are only four pieces of pie for

five people, promptly announces she

never did care for pie.”Tenneva Jordan

Finding thePerfectProm DressWe’ve taken advice from the specialists to give yousome top tips to help you find your perfect PromDress

Start Looking EarlyDon’t leave it too late to start looking for your dress.Many dresses have to be ordered in your size andcould take up to 10 weeks to arrive. You may thenneed alterations to get a perfect fit, so leaving it ‘tilla couple of weeks before the prom is a big no-no!Also, you will need to bear in mind that many shopshave a policy of selling only one style in one colourto any one prom. This ensures that you will be theonly one at your prom with that dress, but it alsomeans that the early shoppers will have the bestpick.If your prom is in May or June, you shouldn’t beleaving it any later than March to order your dress,unless you are happy buying off-the-peg or want anend of line bargain from a previous season.

Consider Different Places toShopMany will head straight for the large departmentstores and shopping malls but there are often smalllocal retailers who can offer amazing dresses and agreat personal service. Consider specialistPromwear retailers, such as EyeCandy at Sandal orBridal shops such as Celebrations in Ossett, CottageBridals in Horbury and Domino Bridal in Batley.These retailers have a great deal of knowledge andexperience of styles and fabrics and can also offeradvice on accessories.

Keep an Open MindYou may well have some ideas of the style of dressyou prefer, but try not to have too much of a fixedidea of what you want. If you go to a specialist shop,such as a bridal shop or one specialising inPromwear, be prepared to take the advice of the

retailer and try on alternative styles. The retailershave seen hundreds of girls and women in differentstyles and colours and have a wealth of experienceof what suits particular body shapes, colouring andpersonalities.

Be YourselfThe Prom is an opportunity to dress in a way younever have before and to really put on the style.Remember that most are in the same boat and willbe wearing a style of dress that they have neverworn before, so push yourself out of your comfortzone and dress to impress! But don’t overdo it - toenjoy your Prom, you have to be comfortable in yourdress or you’ll spend the whole evening hiding away

Take Someone With You It’s useful to have someone with you whose opinionyou value and trust and who has your best interestat heart. Friends can often subconsciously put youoff a dress if they think it’s too similar to their ownor don’t want to be upstaged, so even with bestfriends tread carefully when looking for your dress.

Have a great Prom!

What is Baby Yoga?Baby Yoga sessions are fun, relaxing ways to helpstimulate and develop babies in a safe and supportiveenvironment. Baby Yoga consists of exercises for bothbaby and mum, and these are intertwined with songs andfun activities. Parents learn how to stimulate their baby’smental and physical abilities using gentle movements andrhythm; learn how to settle colic; get help and techniquesto induce sleep; and gain confidence in handling theirbaby. Baby yoga, which complements infant massage, offersquality physical stimulation including flowing postures,holding, movement, touch, voice and deep relaxation. Itinduces a happy, carefree and lively parent-infantinteraction, which develops as the baby grows. Itencourages pre-verbal communication and enhancesbaby’s physical confidence.The experience of movement combined with touch isprobably the richest stimulation we can offer babies frombirth. In yoga, this stimulation occurs through the mutualinvolvement of parent and baby, at a pace at which thebaby can absorb and integrate it. As yoga postures inducedeep relaxation in adults, so in babies they bring a state ofdeep contentment and promote deep sleep. Yoga offersbabies a resource that will enable them to deal positivelywith stress and know how to relax. The handling of thebabies is a loving one, in which the conversion of achallenging movement into a safe game, to play andenjoy, is repeated again and again. This playful stimulationthrough yoga-based exercise is a powerful way of helpingbabies relish life, with all its demands, as they grow.

What are the benefits of Baby Yoga?Benefits of Baby Yoga include:• Physical - In one short session, the baby is given as

much physical activity as they would receive if they werehandled and carried all day. This activity will help thebaby sleep more deeply. The baby’s behaviour will bemore ‘settled’. It provides a daily routine of activitythrough which the parent can engage constructively withtheir baby from birth

• Physiological / developmental - All the baby’s bodilysystems are stimulated, including the digestive andnervous systems.

• Psychological - Baby yoga helps the parent and baby toget to know each other, enhancing communicationbetween them. Yoga helps to heal any birth trauma; thebaby will also be better equipped to deal with shocks.The baby’s enjoyment of the positive stress of yoga willincrease the babies ability to cope with future challenges.Through the high quality attention the baby receives fromit’s parents, the baby learns to interact with others andplay actively, the deep relaxation that is part of yogahelps parents cope with the stresses of early parenting.

How can I find out more about BabyYoga Classes?Baby Yoga classes are currently being run in the Wakefieldarea at a number of Children’s Centres and HealthCentres. Classes usually last for 1 hour per session for a 6week course, and are suitable for babies from 6 weeks tocrawling. A class size of no more than 10 works well. Parents attending recent sessions in Wakefield havebenefited as follows:• Young mums with little experience of motherhood gaining

confidence holding and interacting with their baby• Mums who have struggled to bond with their baby have

found that Baby yoga has helped them in this area• Coping with colic, and helping to ease the babies’ distress• Improved sleep among the babies attending• Social interaction for mums in a baby-centred environment

Puppy Jewel is a preciousgift for local Charity

Wakefield based company Andrell Education have

given local charity Dogs for the Disabled a very

special Christmas Present indeed! Instead of the

usual office secret Santa, company directors Curtis

and Tracey Wilson decided to treat their staff to

something unusual, making a fantastic donation

which the charity have used to purchase an 8 week

old, specially selected Black

Labrador Puppy. This

donation will also will fund the

pup’s journey to becoming a

fully fledged Assistance Dog.

Puppy Sponsors for the

charity are given the option of

naming their new arrival, but

Andrell Education decided to

leave this important decision

to the pupils at Crofton Infant

School, Wakfield. The school

have adopted the charity for a

year, and having received a

visit from the charity’s

Fundraiser, Rowan Martin,

with Assistance Dog in

training Xander, students were inspired to come up

with 10 possible names. Dogs for the Disabled are

pleased to announce that the name ‘Jewel’ was

chosen for the 8 week old pup, who has now been

placed with a puppy socialiser for her first year

before, all being well, she progresses into the

charity’s training program and becomes a qualified

Assistance Dog and is paired with a disabled owner.

Dogs for the Disabled is a national charity which

trains assistance dogs to help with a range of

practical tasks that many of us take for granted

including picking up dropped items, opening and

closing doors, dressing and undressing. Once their

training is completed, dogs are matched with a

disabled owner and a

partnership begins, supported

by the charity until the dog

reaches retirement age.

The charity opened a new

centre in Nostell, Wakefield ,

during the Summer of 2008

and this will allow them to

significantly grow their

services, supporting existing

partnerships in the North of

England area and training new

dogs to be paired with local

people who could benefit from

them.

If your company, school or community group would

like to find out more about purchasing or sponsoring

a puppy, or would like to raise funds to support a

local partnership, please contact Rowan Martin,

Fundraiser for Dogs for the Disabled on 01924

860699 E: [email protected].
