I tried miracle noodles yesterday, the angel hair pasta variety. I made a little carb-friendly tomato sauce by using a can of crushed tomatoes and throwing in some italian seasonings, cooked it down a little then served it over my hot, calorie-free, carb free 'pasta' and YUM! Those miracle noodles are made from glucomannan, an apsorbable fiber and very little else. You have to rinse them and then cook in boiling water for only 1 minutes, then drain and pat dry. If you don't dry them, I'm told they smell funny. You can get them at www.miraclenoodle.com
They aren't horribly expensive. And they're wonderful. They don't taste exactly like our favorite pasta, but the texture is there, and if you're putting sauce on it, who cares?
Next time, I plan to add a little meat to my sauce and some parm cheese. I've also thought about making a cheese sauce for something close to mac and cheese or pasta w/ alfredo sauce.

OK, so I'm not weighing every day. I couldn't resist this morning. I have 1 challenge week ending today and one in 4 days. I really have to get these things so that they all end on the same day. But after last week's gain, I really wanted to see if the scale had budged. I've been sooooo good.
I'm pleased to report a 3.2 pound loss! It's 2 pounds below my low the previous week of 260.4. Plus, I've gone down another another 'tick' on the scale. You know...280, 270, 260. I'm below 260. Woooo hoooooooooo.
I can remember watching, helplessly, as the numbers climbed above 250, then nudging ever closer to 300. 250 was my 'old' all time high and it frightens me how close I did come to 300 before I decided to stop following the advise of my health care professionals, did some serious reading and got on atkins. One day, I will rant about the role of inflammation in obesity, but not today. lol.
Suffice it to say, I feel better. I'm starting to look better, and I can see a day coming, in the not so distant future, when I'll be off my diabetic meds and can shop in the misses dept!
