Fourty by Fourty Progress!

Good news on the 40 by 40 list... no I didnt forget about it yet...


I have started cooking my way through a cookbook! I chose this great book called 200 Recipies under 200 calories by Hungrygirl! If you have not heard of this book or this girl- just wait- shes fantastic.

So far, I have cooked about 10 recipes out of it, mostly that dont require an oven, as my current living arrangements dont have a true kitchen. However, so far, I am VERY pleased! The food is great, the calories and 'points' are low, and I have been successful in making them!!!!

I will keep you up to date, and show pictures of the actual foods later, I'm taking pics of each thing I make!

Second- I finally picked the classic book that I am going to read. Thanks to Sara I chose Wuthering Heights by EmilyBronte. Sad to say that I have not read this before, nor have I seen the movie. SO, I am starting it tonight after my walk on the ol' treadmill. Hopefully I will be able to follow it.

Sara is reading it too soon, she has not read it either. What has happened to american schools that two bright people such as ourselves have not read this book yet? Oh, well- we are fixing that mistake. Keep you updated on that part of 40 by 40!
