As this cold snap continues across Ireland I’d urge you to be very careful on roads & footpaths as they are unbelieveably slippy. Stock up on items like Batchelors Baked beans (excellant source of protein), cartons of Sqeez orange juice (great for Vit C) & other non perishables in case you snowed in for even a couple of days.

Be mindful too of older people, relatives, neightbours, even people your never met but who may need a helping hand during this bad weather. The smallest thing, like checking if they have bread & milk can go a long way to lift an older persons spririts & could save them a trip outdoors:)

As for any other advice, do what I’ve been doing, get plently of photos, throw snowballs, build a snowman & enjoy all the lovely snow- as it coud be a long time before we see it again:)

I’ve used this programme every Jan for a number of years & it definitely works. I’d honestly say you need to stick to it for the full month to see the difference. Its hard for the 1st 4 days but after that it gets better. I find avoiding alcohol the hardest but its well worth it.

The results I personally found were: weight loss, felt better in myself, not quite so tired, but the most noticable one for me was my skin, it really glowed & my complexion was the best its every been:)
