Greetings Noodle People

135.5 today. Up a half. Must be that homemade peanut butter cookie I ate yesterday. But it was just one.

Thanks for all the noodle research Shel. I have also tried the ordinary shiritaki noodles. Besides having to rinse them, you have to cook the moisture out of them in a skillet to get rid of the weird smell. But the Healthy Noodle doesn't require that so they are definitely a little different. There must be other brands more like Healthy Noodle. I am still looking for the edamame noodles that have calories and carbs but also good protein.

Diane O, hope you find what you want with SO. Of course, don't sell your house!!

Liz those beach shells and the sea look so great.

I am going to try the Silver Sneakers exercise class today. DH calls it "silver twinkle toes". Did weights yesterday. I am getting comfortable with the machines except for this one beast that I don't want to do. Then I unloaded two kilns at the studio which is not that big of a deal except lots of steps getting stuff to the shelves.

Paula have a good work day and rest up from camping. That must be fun but exhausting.

BB I am no help on the smoker though lots of people around here have them to smoke salmon. But there is not much salmon to catch now. Once I went to a neighbor's house to investigate smoke because I thought there might be a fire but it was just his smoker.

After Silver Sneakers I have gallery duty so I hope the class is not to hard on me. But I will just do what I can and skip what I can't . And the kiln opens so I gotta at least stop by the studio.

Shel, glad you have walking sticks. I would not even consider that boulder stairway without them!

Happy noodling all. Diane S

Well Paula I don't know why my weight varies so little from day to day. But if you look back two or three years I am up about 10 lbs and would like to get rid of that. So I am not so stable in reality. I think day to day is because I drink water all the time and have less water related fluctuation than others.

Hey Devon, what a great problem to have - worrying about finishing your dog too soon and holding out for the big time win. Ace is truly deserving and so are you. Did you dress like a hippie at Woofstock? Diane S

Naw... I didn't have time to get something together with the end of school pressing upon me. I went without a tie. How's that for hippie? LOL! I really need to plan ahead and get something together for next year. My friend Christian had on a great shirt - don't know the style, but it's something I'd wear.

If I could find a cool suede vest with pockets for bait that would be fantastic, too! Gotta have a pocket for bait!

Love the shirt for you. Your pooch is going to need a hippy shirt, too!

Also, that Ace must be a fine, fine dog. It sounds like your pups also have great temperament -- really a testament to your breeding program! Congratulations.

Good news for a change ... The Judge granted my Motion so my ex-husband has to continue to financially support our son and keep him on his family insurance plan, which happens to be the best insurance around. And the Judge was snarky. I wanted to put some snark in my reply Certification but chickened out. The Judge used almost the same exact wording I had deleted.

My daughter is back in the hospital, but it is just an UTI that made her blood sugars go wild. She should be back on track quickly.

206. Eating and walking is on plan. I was behind someone at the Costco food court, buying a chicken Caesar salad, and the woman ahead of me ordered a strawberry sundae and a churra, y'know for a snack. The calories are posted so I did a quick calculation of the snack, which was close to what I eat in a day, with very little if any nutritional value. It made me very sad for her.

Joey, finally a big win! And, not just a win, but a win with a snarky judge in your corner. What a relief for you and your son.

Yay for the snarky judge and yay for you and your son! So, so happy that some good fortune has smiled on you!

Yay Joey! Maybe the tides are finally turning for you!

So glad for you Joey. DH's sister divorced her unfaithful husband who was a total jerk and the judge had some nasty words for him. Means a lot to know that justice is on your side. Congrats. Hope it makes your life a little easier.

Great shirt Devon but its not tye dyed!
