I think Christmas is the BEST time to start... think of all that TURKEY you can have. Actually, at my house we dont' do christmas dinner, we do a family brunch instead, and I have all those yummy things like omelets with LOTS of bacon, sausages, we have tomato slices, and stuff like that. Yes, I do all the high carb things too, but my gift to me this year will be to NOT partake.. and I'll feel SO proud of myself if I can control myself for that one day. I'm going to send home all the leftovers with someone ELSE! grin!!!!

I find doing anything lc a little hard with kids though. My kids need the carbs, but we're modifying the carbs, like taking out juice, but leaving fruit, taking out most cookies and junk and replacing it with salad (my kids think thats a BIG treat!!!). The baby is the one I have the hardest time with.. what do babies eat but toast, cheerios and bananas?!?! grin!

Well, I'm only 32, but I'm GOING to be 40 someday, so it would be good to be fit for that day! LOL!

Blessings!
