My name is Mary, I am 50 years old and I was the lucky woman who won a competition in my local paper. This included working with the Ultimate Health, training and a Make-Over. I had entered it as I am at a changing time of life and had my daughters wedding coming up and wanted to look good for the wedding.
When I received a call from Janet Weaver in Dunboyne Castle Hotel telling me I had won I was thrilled, I then received a call from Lisa in Ultimate Health setting up an appointment to meet up with Caroline who was to be my therapist, great everything was starting to happen. Lisa asked me a few questions regarding Colonic Irrigation and I told her I was not interested in that side of the treatment!!! Famous last words but I agreed to meet with Caroline to discuss my diet and get some advice.
Week 1
The First time I met up with Caroline, I was in such a bad state, bloated and feeling tired but Caroline sent me off to do the Ultimate Healths detox diet for the next 2 weeks. I had 2 weeks of no caffeine, no wheat, no alcohol, no dairy, no fruit and no sugar. It sounds alot harder than it really was, I had lots of porridge with linseeds, herbal tea’s, fresh fish, chicken and some vegetables, once I got over the first week with all the toxins leaving my body it was not so bad and I was fine. When I was feeling a bit fed up I would go for a walk which I enjoy.
Week 2
We had set up another appointment for two weeks later the 20th July where I met Janet Weaver, who is head of sales in Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Eugene who was to be my personal trainer for the next six weeks. I had a chat with Eugene and we organised to meet up the following evening in the gym to put together a programme and janet showed me around the Hotel, Spa and gym area. I then had my first colonic!!! This was something I was dreading, but did not need to worry as Caroline was brilliant reassuring me and making me feel relaxed. It sounds painful and intrusive but Caroline was really gentle and explained the process, which helped calm me. She saidI was the most nervous client she had ever met (even my legs were sweating). The result of the colonic was amazing, the bloated feeling I had was gone, I felt better and had more energy just after one colonic. Caroline gave me a list of acid/alkaline foods that I could start bringing into my diet, I had to use the detox diet as my guideline when using the foods. She also gave me recipes for smoothies, using one as a replacement for breakfast or lunch, they were lovely. I set up a programme with Eugene and I am in the gym at least 3 nights a week and go out running/walking everyday.
Week 3
The training is going really well, I’ve been weighed and measured and have lost 9lds so far, this is fantasic, can’t wait to tell Caroline, her dietary advise is working and I feel really good having the Deep Abdominal Massage this week. Massage went well no bother I thought until during the night I became ill and the next day I phoned Ultimate Health and spoke to Lisa, she contacted Caroline to see if they could advise me and was relieved to know this was good, as the toxins in my body were elimating from the body after Caroline’s massage. I went to the gym as I had an appointment with Eugene but ended up going home as I could not work out as I had not eaten. That evening I went to bed and slept like a baby, next day Lisa phoned to see how I was feeling and to set up another appointment with Caroline. I am still on my diet but allowed a little bit more, I have to say I am enjoying the food alot more now, I’ve been trying out some new foods like lentils and beans.
Week 4
I am still using my smoothies which consist of mixed seeds, fruit, soya milk and a juice of my choice (copella or keilkin being the best brand). People are commenting how well I look and how clear my skin is, this is great!
Week 5
Meeting up with Caroline for my next colonic still nervous as ever once again with Caroline’s reassurance I had a bit of discomfort, nothing much and everything went well. Delighted with my progress as I feel the programme is going really well my old figure is coming back , and whoever said we all have middle ages spread can look at me now. No it’s great I never thought I would get this far.
Week 6
Feeling really good Caroline has given me another diet sheet this one has a lot of recipes on it with lots of choices. The wedding is getting closer with only 2 weeks to go I’ve even had to have my wedding outfit taken in, I feel curvy back to my old self! Met with Eugene and had a final weigh in, wait for it!! I’ve lost 1 stone and can’t believe it 2inches off my bust, 3inches off my waist and 2inches off my hips, Yippee!!!! Had an appointment with Caroline for my last Colonic but as I was due to do my liver flush and couldn’t (due to wedding plans) we could not go ahead, we will have to reschedule, Lisa did phone to make an appointment but as I have the wedding then I am in France for a couple of weeks, we will wait until I get back.
I want to say I don’t think I can thank Caroline & the Ultimate Health Girls (Marese & Lisa) enough this has been a life changing plan for the better for me. Thanks Girls. I was a non-believer and have been converted, this was one of the best experiences I have had and the dietary advice will always stay with me, I will be visiting Caroline again, just to keep me on the right track.
I got what I wanted and much more the wedding was fantastic anf I felt a million dollars, I’d also like to ta=hankJanet Weaver in Dunboyne Castle Hotel for the use of the gym, Eugene’s guidance and the Spa facilities which are fantastic, the wonderful make over I received and the beautiful treatments which all helped to make me look and feel so good on the day.
Thanks again to all.
