There is nothing she wouldn’t do for you! Show how much she means to you; make Mother’s Day 2012 all about her and treat her to something truly special.

Many people appreciate their mothers or mother figures, which include stepmothers, relatives, guardians (e.g. foster mothers), and close family friends.

This year I nearly lost my mother when she had an operation that was said to be highly unlikely she would survive due to her age. But Mum did survive.

At times like this it brings back to you all the things mothers are there doing for us. I know , as I sat for hours in the hospital I remembered all the things Mum did and places she took me to when I was a child and how as I grew Mum was always there supporting me.

Now I have children and grandchildren, Mum is still very much involved in all our lives. My grandchildren adore her and love telling her about what they are doing at school and about their sporting achievements.

How ever tired Mums are they always find time to do all the jobs needing doing.

At Serenity Lodge Day Spa I have put together some packages for Mothers Day or you can make up your own package that you know your mother would like, or even buy a package and let your mother pick the treatments she would like herself.

Your mother will feel so special receiving one of our luxurious day spa packages. Let us spoil her for you

Cheers,

Fit and Fabulous Tip #2 – How To Lose Centimetres Fast!

Before I reveal our secret formula for staying motivated while the changes in your eating habits kick in, I’m wondering how you’re going with last week’s tips for beating those sugar cravings?

Remember to share your handy hints for success in the comments section after this post…

I used to go through that discouraging feeling of being really focused on reducing or eliminating those fattening foods, and feeling like my body was taking forever to start losing centimetres – until I experienced a spa treatment on a cruise around New Zealand last year, when I lost several centimetres and kept it off!

Since then I have seen dozens of women stay motivated to stick to their healthy eating plans by losing a few centimetres fast with our Ionithermie treatment from Serenity Lodge Day Spa.

This short video reveals how you too can lose centimetres fast…

New Year, New You!

We’ve put together a special 3 part offer to help you lose a few centimetres fast in the New Year and you can check it out here.

Next week I’ll share with you my brand new, scientifically proven, exercise program in Fit and Fabulous Tip #3 – Get Fit In 7 Minutes a Day, 3 Times a Week!

Until then, Here’s To Your Good Health,
Fay Rayner

All of us at Serenity Lodge Day Spa wish you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year for 2012!

Fit and Fabulous Tip #1 – Beating Those Sugar Cravings – see this article.

Fit and Fabulous Tip #2 – Lose Centimetres Fast
Fit and Fabulous Tip #3 – Get Fit In 7 Minutes a Day, 3 Times a Week

Gained a couple of kilos over the holiday?

If you’re anything like I am you’ll be struggling after all that beautiful food you have consumed in the last month to break the sugar craving and to lose the excess weight you have gained.  It is so easy to go to the fridge or cupboard and grab some left-over Christmas cake, shortbread or chocolate.

How to beat the sugar craving

To help break your cravings you need to be prepared. If you have to search for or make something when a craving hits, you won’t bother, but will grab the first thing you come across – maybe that great chocolate! And then feel guilty or frustrated with yourself for giving in to the craving. If you’re really keen to get the new year off to a great start then our ‘Fresh Start Health and Day Spa Package’ may be just what you want.

What if you had been prepared and had something low in fat and sugar handy when that sugar craving hit? Think about different options you enjoy and that you can have on hand, such as:

• rice cakes  
• nuts in small portions
• low fat cheese ,
• lemon flavoured water
• health cookies
• popcorn (without butter)
• sugarless gum or sugarless lollies.

All of those are more helpful to your weight and health than a chocolate bar – and the secret is to have them ready and easy to access.

Make your healthy snacks easy to access at all times

The most helpful thing you can do for yourself is to place these snacks in convenient places where you are going to be. Think ahead about your day – if you’re going to be in the car, put them where you can reach them in the car.

If you will be at work, place your healthy snacks in your desk.

At home if you have a favourite chair where you sit to watch TV or read, then that’s where they need to go.
Do you understand what I mean?  Make it easier to find healthy food rather than the high fat and high sugar foods.

For the first couple of days your new routine may be a challenge, but persevere and you will find it worth the effort. I also recommend that you avoid bread and pasta dishes if you want to lose the extra weight.

Personalised support for your unique health needs

Ever feel this time of the year you are starting to wear down?

And you’re not into the really busy season yet! Instead of pushing yourself and pretending you’re alright when really you are so tired you could not care a less, how about making some changes this year?

Take some time out now, before the real rush begins

Give yourself time out now so when the chaos of the holiday season really hits you will be able to enjoy it fully because you have given your body and mind time to rejuvenate and re-energise. It doesn’t take much to do this – it’s just a matter of you saying to your family “I am taking some ME time, so do not disturb me!”

Whether you go for a relaxing walk, sit and read a good book or treat yourself to a massage, you want to make the time to refresh before the “silly season” for the sake of your health.

Serenity Lodge Day Spa can help you

We would love to see you here at Serenity Lodge Day Spa so we can help you re-energise. We have great specials at the moment from only $99, or you can choose a treatment that suits you the best, including our new Fresh Start Health Package.

Here’s what your Fresh Start Health package includes:

• Health Analysis – complete top to toe health and lifestyle check up which will allow me to identify specific health challenges you may be having and how our variety of natural treatments may assist you to address those challenges.

• Individualized treatments, delivered during the day – because everyone’s health needs are different our treatment will be different for each person and is planned just for you.

For example, if you are suffering from headaches or tingling in your hands we will check the muscles in your back and neck to see if they putting pressure on a nerve that is causing your pain, and give you remedial massage therapy.

Or if you are suffering from bloating, forgetfulness or tireness I may make you some homeopathic or herbal medicine and I most likely would recommend some specific foods to avoid.

Or, if you are experiencing arthritic pain our Dead Sea Salt wrap is amazing to reduce the pain.

OR, if you would like to lose a few centimetres, then our ionithermie treatment will do the trick – guaranteed!

• Morning tea and lunch – your menu will depend on your particular dietary needs.
• Follow up calls included – for the first month I ask you to ring for 5 minutes every two weeks to let me know how you are going so your diet, medication or exercise program can be adjusted depending on how you are going.These two fortnightly follow up consultations are included in your package. Additional follow-up calls will have a small charge depending how long the consultation is.
• Take home your personalized plan – when you leave you will not be forgotten. If you need a special eating plan or medicine this will be made up for you to take with you.

All the best in whatever way you decide to refuel yourself so you can really enjoy the exciting and busy months ahead.
