Ticker Tape Parade To Come?

So, this was probably the worst week in 2007 that I could possibly have started on Weight Watchers. Answer this question: what derails your weight loss efforts?

How about, social plans? I have three dinners out and one lunch out planned for this week. (And they're all too important to cancel.) I've tried to calibrate my choices and keep points in mind, but so far I have not been 100% successful.

Holidays, you say? A holiday involving candy? A holiday involving cookies and candy brought to my desk? I was able to say no to someone with candy, but the person who brought us giant chocolate chip cookies of appreciation, I did not say no to.

Perhaps stress? Well, this week my baby nephew has been in the hospital with an unidentified disease, getting blood transfusions. Yes. Somehow counting points CEASES TO FEEL IMPORTANT at those types of moments.

Also, work stress! One person on our team quit and so we're short staffed; we had a big meeting yesterday; our job descriptions are being discussed; I'm having my performance review... etc. etc.

So, yeah. I am still writing things down; still trying to keep my head above water. But man. If I just manage to maintain my weight this week, I'll throw myself a ticker tape parade.
