It's the truth. I was previously down to around 161-163 pounds and progressing really nicely. Then Thanksgiving and Christmas happened and I lost my shit. I don't know how much I weigh right now but I'm right back in my fat pants (meaning my comfortably loose jeans are now tight fitting) and I'm seriously annoyed at myself. I'd GUESS I'm around 173-175. (yikes.)
*edit: Weighed in the morning of 1/9/12 and I am actually 169.6. The last weigh-in I had was 11/18/11 at 161.8. So, in 7 weeks I gained nearly 8 pounds. Damn, you, chocolate M&M's!

I was lookin' pretty good, doing some karaoke with friends and being confused by this old fangled thing...
Then, Thanksgiving - this is me with my adorable niece...
Then, out to eat, sniffing up a delicious vegetarian dish from a cool restaurant in Chicago:
Air guitar on the dance floor:
Beckoning someone to come limbo with us... (yes that is an outfit change.)
Overall good times:
Then came lots of food, sugar, cramming everything into my face, and suddenly I see the New Years Even photos, and I want to die.
We also got a punching bag. We all know that will get used, mkay?
So. I'm sorry for sucking at updating and I'll be back now for a while. I have lots of fun recipes for you - I still am juicing and I got a dehydrator for Christmas so there are tons of fun things with that as well. I'm still vegetarian (except for sushi) and am trying again to go closer to a vegan route, cutting dairy out of my diet as well.
I'd like to be back down to my 160 lbs (ish) by Chaser Con in February, and by the time Chasing season starts (end of march / early april) I'd like to be able to comfortably run 2 - 3 miles. :)
Love,

THANK YOU FOR POSTING! I have missed your posts!!!
Good luck with everything, the holidays are the worst for derailing all things healthy.
Congrats on the treadmill! I got one last year and don't regret it for a single minute!
Glad to see you back, I think we all struggled through the holidays and are getting back on track!
I know we all struggle at that time of year, and I know I sure did (I believe I had about a 10 lb gain between September and the end of December. I would love to one day get to that point where all that holiday junk doesn't even tempt me, but I've got a long way to go.
Glad you're back! Good luck with meeting your goals!

I completely understand the holiday yum. It's hard not to - I feel like every event is centered around a meal and that's hard to help yourself. I'm excited to read your blog and see what kinds of vegetarian and vegan meals you make. I tried to do the vegetarian thing but it's just not my MO. But I still love vegetables and what not.
Good Luck!!!
