Using Busy People's Low-Fat Recipes to lose weight

I just bought two cookbooks... Busy People's Low-Fat Recipes and 2nd Serving of Busy People's Low-Fat Recipes. They were written by Dawn Hall. These are great books. Seven or less ingredients and less than 30 minutes. They don't call for any of that weird stuff most of us don't have in our cupboards. It gives you the numbers of servings, the calories, the percent of fat calories, carbohydrates, protien, cholesterol, dietary fiber, and the sodium along with the amount of time each recipe takes. I'm hoping these recipes will help me lose weight. Both books have a great index in the back and are hard cover books. I just was looking over at Amazon.com and found a couple of her books for the low price of $3.95. You can't beat that price. I've bought a number of books from there and have never had any problems.

Today has been going well for me. I've been on the get go since 9:00. My husband, mom, and I went garage saling. I love looking at people's stuff. Of course, I bought so many things I don't need. My husband didn't mind the crochet needle or quilting needles because they don't take up much room. It was all the bean babies and this beautiful doll that made him just shake his head. I just smiled and said....I gotta have them!! My mom got a real good deal on this wagon thingy he can pull behind his riding lawnmower. I don't know what he is putting in it...but...guy stuff...I don't get into learning all that stuff...let's say..no more than I have to.

I haven't drank a lot of water today but have had plenty of ice tea...wondering...does that count? I helped him cut one of his lawns today. I remember writing about that last week. I can't believe that much time has gone by. Monday we will have to do three more yards.

It's time for me to take a shower and sit back and relax with a good book and a large glass of water.

How about counting anything with caffeine as half your water, that way you still get to count it.

I would like to go yardselling and get some mini cake pans and a lowfat cookbook
