Yep, you can still overindulge on vegan and "healthy" junk foods, comfort foods, and such. My main transgressions this season (and boy were they fun!): martinis, wine, trail mix, bread, vegan cheese (Ohhh, Daiya), MimicCreme, ouch ouch ouch.
I've continued to have salad and a green smoothie daily, but I've dipped a little too often into the heavier foods. With the weather so cold and the couch so cozy (not to mention all the mornings after those holiday drinks) my exercise schedule has dwindled to something light a few times a week.
NO NO NO! I was getting abs! I was buying clothes without trying on, knowing that a medium was perfecto! I was high on life and hot yoga and green powder! Time to get back in action!
Plan:
*a free 2 week pass to a gym, augmented by daily exercise before and after that 2 weeks
*a fairly strict but fun menu plan using some favorite cookbooks like Appetite For Reduction, Crazy Sexy Diet, & Live Raw
*erm...I'm not sure about the rest..any ideas? :)

I have an emergency diet that's worked for me for years now. It's quite strict, but that is what I need to reset my will power.
breakfast: a piece of whole grain toast..no butter, no jam, just toast.
lunch: raw veggies with lemon juice...no croutons, no cheese, no egg, just vegs.
snack: nuts, a girl's gotta have protein.
dinner: something healthy
drinks: gallons of water and herbal tea.
It's not exciting, and boy do I look forward to dinner all day, but like I said it's worked for me for years.
good luck!
I feel exactly the same, and I too struggle to maintain a regular exercise plan due to my laziness. So this month I've invested in a treadmill, which will live in my room and I plan to run 5 times a week. It works out a lot cheaper than a gym membership and I found last time I owned one, that I really don't have an excuse not to use it. It means you can stay in your warm house, blast some decent music and enjoy a run in the privacy of your own home :)
