About Me

 Yes I’m another newbie blogger journaling my healing progress online.

  But you know what.. it’s therapy – the cheapest form, and I get to talk a lot about the things I love, the things I’m struggling with and I’m a talker, and what better way to get down all my crazy thoughts and feelings than in a regular blog. 

Healing over Thyme – is just that – I’m healing.  I’ve been sick for way too many years and my body and mind becoming a weak shell of what I used to be has given me the kick in the proverbial to take control back.  This lead me down a very expensive but completely worthwhile crusade to gain my health back.

I’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and auto immune disease.  Frankly I’m relieved, I thought I was going mad (ok so many of my family and friends think I am anyway).  My body wouldn’t work,  I got brain fog,  I lost my oomph – I knew that If I didn’t start to help myself for real,  I would become very sick and end up in a wheelchair, sucking on oxygen,  with my insulin at the ready!

This was back in Feb 2014, and I promised myself that when I hit the 10kg loss mark I would write my first blog.  Fast forward a few months and here I am.  I’ve been yo yoing with my weight for all my adult life, but having recent health scares has bought me back into focus. 
 
Healing over Thyme is a way to keep me on track, getting back to optimal health is my primary goal, the weight loss is a natural side effect I’m happy with J

It will mostly be about food – because let’s face it, it’s what we’re putting into our guts that are making us sick.  I’ll be sharing my food recipes as I experiment and get out of my comfort zone, and a bit of science thrown in from the experts as I have surprisingly become quite passionate about the role that all foods play in our lives – the good- the bad – and the downright toxic nasty’s.
