Today was the first time since I have on the South Beach Diet that I have gone out for breakfast with my mom. I took her to Perkins, and to be honest, it wasn’t nearly as big a deal as I thought it might be. I had steak and eggs for breakfast, and instead of hashbrowns and toast I had them substitute steamed veggies, and they did that with no problems at all. The only slightly noticable deviation I had was that I had coffee for the first time since being on the diet, but even that was not a huge deal, as I have never been a huge coffee drinker.
My mom also decided to skip hashbrows and got some sliced tomatoes instead. It was all-in-all a good breakfast. My sister was too tired to get up and join us, so it was just me and my mother. After breakfast we picked up my sister and went to see National Treasure. I think I will definitely be getting that movie when it comes out on DVD.
After the movie my mom and sister came back to my house to help me straighten it out a little for Easter dinner on Sunday.
I then drove them home, taking with us the last (I hope) of the old grocery items I can no longer eat.
