178.4 Noodles, Anyone? Miracle Noodles?

My brother-in-law sent me this today and I am tempted to order these miracle (!) noodles. Let me say I'm not in any way endorsing these noodles since I have not yet tasted even one! But here's a natural product that has no calories and makes you feel full, and they will absorb any flavor you combine them with.

I do crave pasta occasionally, and so I am thinking about this. But I've also prided myself on losing this weight without taking any drugs or weight loss products. I'm wondering if this would count as a weight loss product.

Here's what I am thinking since I'm still fighting the right before bed hunger pains! What if I have a portion of these noodles every night before I head off into dreamland? Maybe that will solve everything, especially if they taste okay with nothing added that is high in calories, or salt.

Remember the commercial where the kids want to get the little brother Mikey to taste the new cereal? I'm working on my brother-in-law to take the role of Mikey and order the first batch! Here's the link, if you're interested! http://www.miraclenoodle.com

Maybe this is one of those times when if it looks to good to be true, it probably is! Let me know if you try this.

184.4 It's Life, A Great Life!

We celebrated Father's Day yesterday at a very special restaurant so I'm not surprised by the bump up in weight today. As my sister said, and she always knows what to say to make me feel a little better, "Sue, the food was loaded with salt and sugar." And, I'm sure she's right!

When I do the cooking, which is most of the time, salt and sugar are not ingredients that I use with abandon. Tonight I'm making a pasta dish that Oprah's cook, Rosie, used to prepare for her. There is no salt or sugar in the recipe, only fresh tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, chopped basil and angel hair pasta. I won't eat much of the pasta but I will enjoy every bite! Oh yeah, it also has a little white wine in it. And, I'll thaw out some shrimp to eat with it. I can hardly wait!
