So the diet kind of faltered a bit around Christmas, then with all the house hunting, moving from our apartment to Shaun's mom's house, then moving into our new house, and all of the things that happened in-between all of that, the diet sort of never got completely back on track.  There was much cheating, and it was delicious.  A conversation with my boss about who had the highest score at hula-hooping on WiiFit got me to pull out the balance board and put in the game to see what the damage was.  I have to say, not too bad.  I managed to only gain back half of what I had lost... well, maybe a little more than half... I had lost around 30 lbs, and have gained 16 lbs.  So now it's hard-core back onto the diet again.  It's not particularly hard to do - I enjoy salads, for the most part - it's just getting into the right frame of mind that's difficult.  I am the type who can't really let herself have "just a little taste" of something that's non-diet-friendly; once I take that step, I'm done, I'll keep going back for "just one more little taste" until I've had way more than I should have and then I'm just being counter-productive.  And darn it all, my boss makes such delicous sweets!!  And she makes them a lot!  On top of that, the central location for storing said delicious sweets is right behind my desk.  I could literally roll my chair a foot or two and boom! there they are.  And when she makes brownies she bakes them just before she comes to work so when you take off the aluminum foil the whole area smells like freshly baked brownies..... and they're super-gooey with melty chocolate chips inside and every decadent bite slowly melts in your mouth... *drool*  It's so evil!  I'd be fine if I could just eat a tiny bite and then stop... but the problem is that cheating tastes good.
