Well, we are here in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and I can tell you this has been a challenge! All this wonderful food and I am still in the mushy stage of my diet! We planned accordinlly for the trip but smelling all the wonderful aromas is tough! Etoufee, jambalya, gumbo and my favorite beignets!
I can have a little of gumbo and etoufee (no rice).
I can remember to was only last year when we ate and drank from the time we got here till the time we left! It is interesting, that what was once the focal point of the day is now something I don't want to think about!
But on a happy note, I had to buy a couple of new pairs of jeans and I was able to tuck in my shirt and wear a belt! I can't remember the last time I wore a belt! Grateful for the little blessings!
