For 2021, I decided to recommit to Keto. Not only recommit, but I am pledging to do one full year of zero Keto cheats! Sounds crazy...maybe. When I was successful on Keto the first time around, the one thing I made sure to do was be super strict. It worked for me. So while 365 days of no cheating may seem crazy to some, I know it is exactly what I need to do to get back on track! *As an Amazon Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.* Keto Comfort Foods: Family Favorite Recipes Made ...

New Year’s Resolutions for 2021
Anyone that knows me, knows that I don't typically make New Year's resolutions. In the past, I've always felt like making them was setting me up to fail. And sometimes I did fail. However, after an absolutely horrific 2020 year, it just seems like I need to move forward into 2021 with some goals in mind. There is no way I want a repeat of 2020. I don't think anyone does.

Quarantine Shopping – Best Purchases
Quarantine. Prior to March of 2020, that was really only a word I heard on one of the many hospital tv shows I watched.

Despite all of that, quarantine shopping was probably some of the best shopping I ever did! *As an Amazon ... Read More about Quarantine Shopping – Best Purchases
MACI Procedure – 5 Months Post-Op
A little over five months ago, I had knee surgery. The specific procedure I had was the MACI Procedure with a MPFL Reconstruction. I had cartilage damage, which is what the MACI portion of the surgery was to fix. Since I have dislocated my knee a few times, the MPFL Reconstruction was imperative to stabilize my knee.

How to Reduce Swelling with Cabbage
I am officially 11 weeks post op from my knee surgery. It's been a rough road. My surgeon told me it would be, but when you are in the middle of it, you tend to forget what you may have already known! Days after surgery, I was doing well. My leg was perfectly straight, which is not something I experienced with the first part of the surgery back in October. Swelling wasn't bad either. That is, until around 8 or 9 weeks post op. At that point in recovery, I started dealing with crazy swelling. ... Read More about How to Reduce Swelling with Cabbage
