IT’S week four of the Limerick Chronicle/Ultimate Health Operation Transformation and our two volunteers Martin Costello and Mandy Hogan, are really starting to feel the
benefits of their programmes, with each reporting renewed energy levels and weight loss.
This week trainer Brian Kennedy really put the pair through their toughest workout yet, but both Martin and Mandy say they are really beginning to enjoy the training. Both volunteers participated in the “liver flush” technique this week as well as repeat trips for colonic treatments with Marese in Ultimate Health, with both reporting that they felt great afterwards. Overall Martin has lost 12lbs, while Mandy has lost a full stone in just
four weeks.
Martin
Weighed in this week and have lost 12lbs so far, so I am delighted with the results. I did the liver flush this weekend I did not find it difficult to do and I really felt very good after it. I also had my fourth Colonic Hydrotherapy this week. I had my last visit with Ber Collins, who practices in Meridian Psychotherapy, and we discussed my goals and achieving self-discipline. I found my visits with Ber very helpful. Then it was off to Brian in the gym, who is really starting to push us that bit harder now, but I must say I am begining to enjoy it. Overall the whole experence has been very benefical so far, I have not felt so good or had as much energy in years.
Looking forward to Week 5

It’s week four now and I have been working so hard to reach my goal. I have loads to tell you about this week. First of all myself and Martin had one of our toughest workouts this
week in my opinion. Brian, our trainer, is well able to give us that extra push when he knows we can do it. The photographer also arrived at the gym in Bunratty this week to
take some photos. It was a bit embarrassing as I know people were wondering why we were being photographed while we were doing a work-out, and when I was in the dressing room afterwards people asked me if I wouldn’t mind telling them what all the photos were about. I explained to them what we were doing and they wished me the best of luck. It was quite funny. I had another session with Ber Collins the EFT practitioner who did the tapping technique with me last week. I won’t be going back to Ber again as I felt it just wasn’t for me. I just feel that what works for one may not work for another. I am still doing the vibroplate in Ultimate Health every day for ten minutes, I am working out and doing plenty of walking. This weekend I did the liver flush. I surprised myself because when I first looked at the sheet I thought I would never be able to go through with it. This entailed drinking 1 litre of apple juice every day of this week, which i must say I really enjoyed. I had never tasted apple juice before and the sweetness was lovely as I hadn’t had anything sweet since i started the programme. But then came the hard part. I
couldn’t eat or drink anything from 2pm on Friday until lunchtime on Saturday. At 6pm Friday evening I had to drink epsom salts mixed with water and again at 8pm. I got over that, it wasn’t too bad. But come 10pm on Friday night, that was the hard part. I had to drink olive oil mixed with grapefruit juice and the pulp. It was hard to take this
but I the health benefits of it, so I struggled on. On awaking Saturday morning I drank my third dose of epsom salts and finally my last dose two hours later. It really does make
you feel great afterwards. Following the liver flush I had a colonic irrigation with Marese in Ultimate Health. The colonics are great to clean out your system. Myself and
Martin went to the gym again today for another intense workout with Brian today. The gym is lovely in Bunratty and the staff are very nice. I also met the girls from purple
rain hair salon in Croom who will making changes to my hair for the big reveal. Today was weigh-in day. I was down another 1lb in weight this week but I’m not too disheartened as the inches are coming off my waist as well. Overall, I am fitter and healthier than I was four weeks ago. To date I have lost 14 lbs, that is one stone of fat. My diet hasn’t changed from last week. I have so many people asking me how I make my homemade veg soup. A little secret, my friend Louise makes me a pot of it every few days.
The girls have a lot of new ventures for for me again this week so I will let you know all about them next week.
