I’m forever getting back on track.
It’s a process. Amiright?
I love going out to eat. I love wine. It’s fun when you’re happy or in love. It cheers you up when you’re down. If you work from home (like I do), it gets you out of the house after a long day. It’s also costly – both in terms of money and calories.
…
Simple eats are the name of the game lately.
Between my injury and warm nights, a DIY cheese and meat board is a common dinner.
Thank you to everyone for all the well-wishes this past week. The ACL thing sucks, but I’m really lucky to have good friends and Vegas’ support. I’m off to get my MRI today, so we should have a plan by Friday when my doctor gets the results.
In the meantime, here’s how I’ve been eating spending my time.

My body is rejecting me.
I can’t stay well.
If you’ve been following a long for a while, you now that I tore my ACL last spring. I tried healing it with PRP (it worked on my ankle). That didn’t work, but I could function well enough to workout and run… so I decided not to have the surgery.
My PT warned me that when you tear one ACL and don’t fix it, the other is more likely to go. Naturally, I thought “that won’t happen to ME.” I’m strong! I’m in good shape! I’m invincible. (Spoiler alert: I’m NOT invincible.)

When we first started dating, Vegas taught me about shower beers.
I classed it up with shower wine.
For the past two weeks I’ve been eating cleaner than I have in a long, long time. There have been a few desserts, but I (mostly) skipped the wine. *insert look of horror here*
…
This weekend I needed a break.
I put myself in social media time out.
Sometimes I get burnt out of it all. I do social media work as a business as well as for my blog, and sometimes I just need to step away.
…
Remember last week when I said I was lazy?
Famous last words.
This weekend was anything BUT lazy. We hosted an Easter brunch that lasted all day long, plus I prepped a ton of balsamic chicken for Vegas to grill (she’s the grill master). I even managed to get to the gym every morning too!
Check out our Easter spread:

I’ve been extremely lazy this week.
I just don’t feel like cooking, blogging, cleaning… nothing.
I think it’s because we’re about to have a LOT going on. In preparation, I’m slacking. Does anyone else do that? Seems legit…
…
Some people vacation to see historical sites. Some people go for the beach. Me? I travel for food and wine! That’s exactly how I spent last week – eating my way through Paris, France.
