My new journey...


3 days ago I got the fright of my life when my body decided to make me unbelievably sick. I basically thought I was never going to stop throwing up and after 2 entire days of sweating and feeling like death (and reading a lot of health blogs on the internet) I have decided to make some big changes in my life....

For the last couple of years I have been getting really sick! I have had so many colds, flus and horrible illnesses I can't even count. For awhile I thought it might have been my field of work (sickness kind of comes with the teaching profession) but I'm in my third year now! surely this doesn't explain my craptastic immune system. But what I'm eating does!

I've always been a huge foodie, I love food, I love buying it, making it and of course eating it. But that is not my problem, the problem is what I'm eating. I've spent a long time researching possible answers to my immune system woes and I have come to the conclusion there are several things that have been impacting me- badly!

One of the decisions I have come too involves sugar or my overdose on it! Yep that's right friends I am cutting out sugar! *gasp* for those of you who know me this is HUGE! Sugar is one of my favourite things, but its not so much that im eliminating it its more that I'm changing the way I use it and cook with it.

There is so much research out there supporting a low sugar or 'healthy sugar alternatives' diet and I figure I've got nothing to lose by trying it (except for some excess weight and the potential of being healthier)

Fair not baking friends and lovers of my blog Eat,Bake,Love I'm not going to stop baking anytime soon I'm just going to start baking with more healthier ingredients in a quest to find delicious and nutritious food that won't mess with my body.

I'm pretty excited about this new health journey I'm embarking on! It's going to be about finding wellness and using fresh, whole foods in a world that is saturated with fake chemical ridden foods.

I wanted to create a blog because it means I have some accountability, I'm hoping that you (my awesome friends) will be asking me things like "Hows it all going?" "Are you feeling healthier?" Also if I have a place to share my thoughts and successes I might just inspire someone else to change too! 

I'm going to be learning lots and hopefully feeling better really soon!

Love,

Sarah-Rose
