You are probably wondering why my title is in Spanish and it is probably not spelled right either. I wanted the title to sound prettier than my life. Mardi Gras has been over for about a week, and I am so happy that Mardi Gras is finished. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed all the fun, but it was not great for my diet or what my leader would say "my lifestyle change." I couldn't wait to get back to eating healthier and going to my Zumba classes. I guess my life has really changed. I spend most of my days working, eating healthy, and exercising. I guess my lifestyle really did change. When you are from an area that celebrates everything from a wedding to even an funeral with food, it is hard to stay healthy. Cajuns will find any excuse to party, drink, and eat.
I love my cajun hertiage; I love the fried foods, pastas, beniets, pralines, etc., but I don't think my body could handle it anymore. Now when I eat, my body almost automaticially starts to tire and all I want to do is crawl on my couch, turn the tv on and take a nap.
Growing up on the bayous of Lafourche Parish, I saw Mardi Gras every year. I guess it is like if I lived in Orlando, Walt Disney World would be something special to me. Outsiders might think what is the girl saying? Is she over Mardi Gras? It is not that I am over it. I love all the art of the floats and the marching bands, but i am over all the crazy people who would steal a plastic cheap bead from a child.
