Well, I've had some issues this week. First of all, we had a family celebration. Celebrations are often challenging--lots of food, traditional food, caloric food, high fat food. When I'm preparing the food I can control the ingredients, but when other family members prepare the food they may say "it only has a little butter" even though they used a whole stick of butter in the recipe. True, you have to consider portion size. But even if the recipe makes 12 servings, for instance, that's still a sizable amount of butter per portion, in addition to all the other ingredients. So for the kugel (noodle casserole), I estimated 7 points per serving, given that there were a number of other whole fat ingredients.
Well, never mind, it was only one day! Ah yes, but sometimes that one day can derail the process, or slow down the momentum. So it took a couple of days to get back on plan. But I think I am doing it--hopefully. Well, I'll find out in a couple of days when I weigh-in again.

I'm glad to hear you made it through the family stuff (stuffing) with a positive attitude.
