I started this journey at the beginning of December which was challenging during the holidays. Also, for those of us who live in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, New Year’s resolutions last only 6 days and then the carnival season begins when everywhere you turn, king cakes are thrust on to you. Today is the end of that season and I am happy to say that I successfully declined all the holiday and carnival treats, losing 20 pounds so far! Everyone else in my town will be lamenting the season of deprivation we are entering tomorrow for lent, but I already got this. Here are a couple of photos from the pinnacle parade of the season today, Rex with its gorgeous floats. Happy Mardi Gras y’all!
