Vacation is Over

We went to Utah for the Christmas break, and it was tons of fun. Unfortunately, tons of fun usually equates to tons of food, at least with my family. Therefore, while I haven't weighed myself since returning home, I am fairly confident the the scale will not say what I want it to. Hopefully it won't be too far from what it was before we left. I'm going to give it a couple days, though. I don't know why - I guess I'm just not ready to face it yet. But I do have some pretty good goals for this new year, none of which start until tomorrow (because we've been on vacation and it's no fun to diet on vacation). I am fortunate enough to have a husband who is willing to change his diet with me, so at least I won't be alone. Should be an adventure -we are going vegan for this trimester. We did it once before, for three months, and it was easier than I thought it would be. It forces you to eat at home more often because good luck finding vegan food at most restaurants, and it serves as a pretty healthy cleanse (considering I am nursing, I needed a way cleanse without fasting). The last time we did this, I ended the three months about 30 lbs lighter, and pregnant (after having tried unsuccessfully for close to 4 years) - but considering I JUST had a baby 4 months ago, I am really hoping that doesn't happen this time (the pregnancy thing, not the 30 lbs lighter thing - I'm definitely hoping for that one).

Ha! I wouldn't want to get pregnant after that short of an interval either. It would be something like the fifth circle of hell I imagine...

VEGAN! That is very brave. My husband freaks on me if I make more than 2 things a week without meat. I don't think our marriage would last if I tried to go vegan.

I need good recipes. Not necessarily vegan but at least meatless. Care to share? If so,

e-mail them to me @

I would be SOOOO appreciative.
