Hi!

The heat wave continues. This is Scotland for goodness sake! We never needed air conditioning before and we don't have it now except in large buildings, shops and offices. As I sit at my desk writing this it's 30 degrees C indoors (about 84F)

Suddenly I understand how you can go off exercise in the summer unless you have somewhere cool to do it and swimming (which is not normally my exercise of choice) has a whole new attraction.

Anyway I hope you are still doing your 1% - see this week's article if you want to know why.

Have a great weekend

Love

Feature Article : Just 1%

If you could make a huge difference to your weight and fitness in less than 1% of your time would you do it? Is your health a high enough priority to you that you're prepared to allocate a little time to it?

Most of us would say "Yes" but then not actually do anything about it! We don't give our health and shape even that much time and attention. Instead we give our bodies food they don't want and deny them the movement they crave.

Just one to one and a half hours out of the 168 we ALL have each week - that's all you need to achieve and maintain a level of fitness which will do wonders for your quality of life. And it often makes the difference between constantly gaining weight and losing a little too.

Can you honestly say that every hour you spend is as valuable to you? to your life? to your health? to your happiness? How much time is taken up in trivia and unnecessary chores that don't do half as much for you? The TV will never make you feel so good, neither will the PC, nor taking on more and more obligations for your family and kids that you really don't have time for.

You owe it to yourself and everyone who loves you to stay fit and healthy. So block out 1% of your time for taking care of yourself in this way. It may seem like another obligation or chore at first but the amazing thing is that after a while you will start to feel good and you will never want to give up that feeling. Even if you let your 1% slide once or twice you will know the feeling that you are aiming for and will get back on track because you want to feel that way again.

And it doesn't even have to be formal exercise you take - just walk instead of driving on short errands, play with your kids in the park, go for a refreshing dip at the pool or dance around your lounge (nobody is watching!) Have fun with your 1% but just do it!

Recipe of the week : Leek and Potato Bake

Serve with a mixed salad

Serves 4

480 calories a serving

900g (2lbs) potatoes
50g (2oz) butter
3 leeks, trimmed and cut into thin slices
200g (7oz) cheddar cheese, grated (shredded)
1 egg, beaten

Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees centigrade (425F / Gas Mark 7). Melt half the butter in a pan and gently cook the leeks to soften. Meanwhile boil the potatoes until tender, drain and mash with the remainder of the butter, 150g of the cheese and the egg plus a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in the leeks and add the mixture into an oven-proof gratin dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake until brown and bubbling on the top (about 10 minutes)
