Happy new year to you all and welcome to 2008.

I’m back to work this week. I’ve had a lovely Christmas and new year.

Spent the time showing overseas visitors around this gorgeous City, catching up with my family, playing scarey-sea-monsters with my two nephews and making a solid dent in my reading pile.

Definitely a good holiday.

Now it’s back to a new year and some changes.

New year new clinic

Firstly, I’m starting the new year in a new clinic.

I found out in December, my old clinic was closing. It was a shock.

However, it’s encouraged me to take control of where I see clients.

Therefore I’ve joined forces with pilates instructor extraordinaire, Alexia Morris and we’re opening a small, personalised clinic in Gladesville. It’s all very exciting.

We’re offering:

• nutrition and diet planning
• herbal medicine
• pilates matwork classes
• and personal training

It’s a combination of disciplines that provides a lovely, complementary approach to health and wellbeing.

If you look in the top right hand corner, you’ll see a new “Clinic” tab. This links to all the information about the new centre.

Daily news from the world of diet and nutrition

If you take another look in the top right hand corner, you’ll also see a tab saying News. This is one of the functions we’ve added to Limes & Lycopene.

It’s a targeted news feed. Providing summaries and links to all the major news stories on diet and how to eat well, from around the world. The news site enables you to:

• find out the latest news
• see what’s happening in different countries
• keep track of the most popular stories
• browse stories in different categories
• leave comments on different stories and discuss the news with others

Well that’s the plan anyway.

At the moment it’s very Australia / US / UK-centric. But I’ll be adding other feeds over the next few weeks, once we’re sure the site is working properly.

I’m also planning to put up a weekly editorial – a commentary on one or more recent stories. Some of these will be written by myself, but I’m also hoping to get some guest writers on board.

It’s still a bit experimental and I’d love any feedback.

Amazon store

Another new addition to the site, is an Amazon store. If you like in the right-hand sidebar, you’ll see a link to My Amazon Store, just above the categories list.

I often get asked which books and nutrition resources I use, plus which cookery books I recommend. You can now see and buy these through the Amazon store.

At the moment the product range is small. There are cookery books, as well as resources about nutrition and healthy living.

The Amazon store contains the products and books I find useful and I recommend.

I’m back to blogging regularly

So it’s back into blogging this week. I’m planning some further posts around new year’s resolutions and how to get back on track after the excesses of the silly season.

Again, happy new year to you all. And I hope 2008 is a year of health, happiness and good fortune.
