Weight Watchers: is this a keeper?

Yeesh. It's almost 11:00 already. Once again, the day is flying by without my noticing.

Good novel progress today, folks. I went over my quota to finish the first scene of the tenth chapter, and I wrote a couple paragraphs into the next scene so it should be easy to pick up on tomorrow. My goal for this week was to complete up through chapter ten, and it looks like I'm going to hit it.

Let's see... that's ten chapters, completely re-written (and some of them completely new content) in just under a month. If I keep up this rate, I should finish my first draft by July, no problem. That means I should have this puppy beta-read, workshopped, critted, edited, re-edited, re-edited again and ready to query by the end of the year. Er, yeah. For now I'm just going to keep my sights fixed on July and conveniently forget how long it takes to go from first draft to saleable novel. And that's not even to mention how long the querying process can take... right. July it is.

Day four of the whole Weight Watchers Zone and daily exercise thing, and I think I'm already starting to look better. I'm definitely feeling better, despite some major muscle soreness. I thought about skipping the gym today to give my poor tired limbs a day of rest, but then I weighed on my bathroom scale this morning and realized I over guestimated the weight I entered at WW by 10 pounds. When I re-set my starting weight, they took one of my points away, so now it's even more crucial for me to get out there and earn my activity points. So I guess I'm off to the gym in a few minutes.

I have one more day to decide whether I want to keep my Weight Watchers membership and pay for it (actually, I have until Sunday, but there's that pesky not-online-on-weekends thing to factor in). I'd simply go for it if they only wanted me to pay for one month at a time, but they want the first three months up front, and I'm not sure I can afford that, at least not without breaking out one of the credit cards that I'm trying to pay off. I also know that the Zone already kind of has portion control built in, so WW isn't really that crucial. But their points tracker is doing an excellent job of keeping me motivated and making me hyper-aware of everything I eat, and as much as I've sucked at forcing myself to stick to the Zone and not overindulge for the past seven months, I tend to think it's worth the fees just to keep it up. I also think that if I pay for membership, then I'll start thinking of it as a financial investment and I'll be determined to get my money's worth.

Sigh. I need help. Tell me what you would decide in my place.
