Hi bees! Hope you all had a great holiday - the Mister and I spent some long-needed vacation time cruisin’ in the Caribbean aboard this:

While it was tons of fun:

Who’s ready for some snorkeling?

It was also tons of this:

Souffles Supreme

Cheese-stravaganza

Lobster Tacomania

Chocolate Buffet as Far as the Eye Can See

As you can imagine, by the end of the cruise, I felt like this:

And at least that hamster’s eating a carrot. I could not claim the same.

I admit, this is not a great place to be less than 6 months away from the wedding. Luckily, I have someone to help me out of this mess. On January 5th, I’m meeting with a nutritionist, and together we’ll put together an eating plan for the next two months. I feel so grateful for this opportunity - I’ve always wanted to do something like this, but never put together the effort and resources to follow through. I don’t really know too much about the plan - it’s actually for a nationally published health magazine (I had applied to be a part of the article a while back and promptly forgot about it). What I do know is that a few weeks ago, I took my “Before” picture for the magazine - and if there’s anything less flattering than a full length black bodysuit for a glossy photo spread, please let me know.

I’ve been fortunate enough thus far to carry only a little extra weight on my frame. When people look at me, they see a medium-sized, not-too-plump, not-too-thin gal. However, I’ve become thoroughly skilled (or just lazy) at relying on my small-boned frame. Give my arms a good squeeze and you’ll see that they’re soft mushy marshmallows all the way down to my stick-bones (I’m great for hugging). Hopefully after this new plan, my marshmallow body won’t be as Jet-Puffed.

So join me, readers, as I embark on this two month ride. I’ll divulge in copious and not-too-hungry (hopefully) detail the challenges and triumphs on my journey. I’m counting on you, not to mention the “After” bodysuit picture, to keep me honest.

Did you indulge over the holidays? What are you doing to get back on track?
