Week 8 Day 4 The Bead Necklace

I'm within .2 point of reaching one of my first goals...to get under 200 pounds. Can I do it? YES I CAN!

We have a double-header today beginning at 2 pm so I'm cooking spaghetti with wheat pasta for lunch. I'll make sure to measure my portion. I'm thinking about throwing some broccoli into it for a little added fiber. Then I'll need to be careful what I eat tonight. The humidity is not bad even though it's going to get into the high 80s, still a nice break from the 3-digit temps we had last week.

Just biked two miles. My neck is stiff. Don't know why.

Had a salad with spaghetti. Hubby enjoyed it. He's gone to game and then has to stay with his mother, so I'm glad he got a good, hot meal.

Just saw on FaceBook WW group that Nicki keeps track of points with paper clips. I tried to set something up, but I didn't like the way it looked. Then I had a brainstorm: why not take my mother's long thin necklace and add a bead for each pound lost? I have a huge assortment of tiny to large ones. I have 17 beads on it since I'll keep the "official" pound count and not my scales' count (which is always more). Cool necklace, isn't it? I'll have to wear it to WW meetings. My only concern is the weight on the tiny chain. May be forced to buy a thicker chain. Oh well...:-))

We lost both games but my grandson got to play both games as a starter. He made some great plays for 13-years-old on a high school team.

Came home and stewed a Granny Smith apple to go with Sweet/Sour Chicken and rice (7 points). I'm stuffed.
