February PCOS Recipe: Crockpot White Bean & Kale Chili

I didn't intend to do two ground turkey meals two months in a row, but it somehow ended up that way. Ground turkey is always good, right? The great thing about chili, is that you can literally add anything but the kitchen sink, and it will come out delicious. With my recipe, I am focusing…

#saytheFword

So I stumbled upon this new thing the other day on Twitter that one of my fellow Cysters posted. It was an article called #saytheFword. I of course had to check it out, because I swear like a sailor and the "F" word is one of my favorite sentence enhancers. I was pleasantly surprised the…

Sweating for the Wedding Challenge

The big wedding day is just a little over 7 months away (holy crap where did the time go?!). I wish I could say I was right where I want to be health/weight wise, but I definitely am not. And I am assuming that since the last 11.5 months went by so fast, I can…

Pity Party for One.

So I'm going to be real with everyone today. I make light of the infertility battle as much as I can because I believe it is what keeps me sane. And honestly, so far, this blogging thing has become a really great outlet for me to vent my feelings. But some days it genuinely feels…
