At Your Source one of our main aims has been to support and highlight start-up companies, smaller business owners and independent, individual people doing what they love with a passion, while producing fabulous products along the way. My name is Sue and for the last four years I have been passionate about Your Source Today and this is why...
After four decades of living with a grumbling tummy, anti-social bowel movements and acid indigestion, I have finally stumbled into the office of a doctor who was more willing to do something, other than pay my constant ailments lip-service whilst handing over another anti-acid prescription. My latest, in a long line of numerous visits to the surgery, resulted in seeing a new doctor and not one of my regulars, and had me leaving the building more upbeat than ever and without a prescription in my bag.
When we were given access to a small patch of overgrown land, to clear and grow our own fruit and vegetable, we seized the opportunity and began work at the beginning of March to transform our patch into an allotment space. Share our highs and lows as we begin to grow our own and follow our journey through to the harvest when we hope to have a selection of produce we can use to create homegrown recipes.
If you have been following my resolution to change my diet and lifestyle through out 2014 you will know that after starting the year dairy- and gluten-free, I had lost 7lbs and began to see many of my intolerance symptoms disappear, along with my brain fog, tiredness and generally feeling run down. Yet throughout March I didn't just slip - I fell headlong off the wagon! And like many people fell into the trap of thinking I had conquered my resolutions so deserved the odd treat.
Following my New Year resolution to get Fabulous for February, I am now continuing my quest while looking to be Marvellous for March. Aside from a huge fall around Valentine's weekend, which saw the wagon trailing off into February leaving me far behind, I have managed to maintain my 7lb weight loss for 2014 and, thankfully, I have now caught up with said wagon and planted my bottom firmly on the front seat.
Throughout January I have embarked on a new approach to the New Year and decided to make small changes, one day at a time - to my diet, lifestyle, fitness and overall feeling of well-being. January is a tough month for resolutions and new diets but not as tough as it could have been had I set myself impossible resolutions and unachievable goals. Join my journey into February as I move on to feeling 'Marvellous for March'.
