Blessed Carbs

I must really love my kids. Wade and I started the South Beach Diet this week and they got waffles for breakfast yesterday (with scrambled eggs and ham) and pancakes and ham today. I think subconsciously I am trying not to starve them while we eat no carbs for the first two weeks. They were especially pumped to see the pancakes weren't of the buckwheat variety I've been making lately. I told them to enjoy them...after the first two weeks it is going to be whole grain all the way. Breakfast is the biggest sacrifice for me -I am BIG into cereal in the morning while Wade is a little more fond of eggs. It will all be worth it in the end ...we aim to be fit and fabulous at 40!
