Well hello there! Long time, no “see” :)
Sorry for four-month silence. Life has been quite hectic, so I
thought I’d take a moment to catch you up on things just briefly.
In September I joined a professional Christmas Caroling
group called Dickens Carolers which entailed a great deal of rehearsal to learn
all of our music. After learning the 50
song repertoire, we had our season kick-off event the Sunday before thanksgiving
and so began my season of craziness.
Just before that however I went on a nine-day vacation with
some friends to see my best friend in Florida. We had such an amazing time! I
could go on and on about all we did, but anyone on my Facebook has already been
bombarded with picture so I’ll spare you the recap :) What I will say though is
that despite always being on the go and being the only vegan in the group
(there was one vegetarian usually with us, but that’s still not exactly the
same), I successfully maintained my vegan diet throughout the vacation. And I didn’t gain any weight either! So that was quite a victory for me :)
Then it was back to reality and into the caroling
season. I made some amazing new friends,
created wonderful memories, and a couple days before Christmas finished my last
gig for 2015. To top it all off,
throughout all the chaos, I continued to lose weight without really
trying. As of today I have been vegan
for six months and I’m down a total of 22lbs!
With 2016 just around the corner I can’t help but reflect on
how far I’ve come. In a previous post I
shared about my New Year’s resolution and how well going vegan fit into
that. In the coming year I plan to
continue this journey to a better me and will keep sharing my little victories
and valuable tidbits along the way.
That’s all for now, but there will be more posts coming your
way soon! I promise not to disappear for
months at a time again ;)
Happy New Year!!!
