Homemade shirataki-magic-konjac-miracle noodles
I've struggled with trying to make my own homemade shirataki-magic-konjac-miracle noodles out of glucomannan powder. I found a recipe on the manufacturers (of the powder) web site and tried it. Failure. Noodle mixture was runny, sticky, and was not water stable (it would dissolve into a gummy mass ) . I found another…

The Picture(s) that Motivated Me
This last weekend I was on my annual spring ski trip @ Smuggler's Notch Resort in Vermont. Been doing this every year since '07 or '08. I'm a bit fuzzy on when we started. Same weekend every year.

Need Energy? Maybe you need to rest.
Tuesday morning I felt flat, empty, out of energy, that kind of hollow feeling that tells me that I don't have much reserves in the tank. I had exercised hard over the last few days. 1000 calorie workouts on Sat, Sun and Mon. I ate at or slightly above my non-workout calorie goal (set for 1 lb/ week loss) so I was probably…
