We just got back from our trip to the cabin in Franklinton, La. We had some 'we' time (without the kids of course!)
How is your weekend shaping up ??
Go New Orleans Saints !
About Me
- bayoubabe
- New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
- This blog is dedicated to the low-carb menu challenge presented by Jimmy Moore. I'm living the Louisiana low carb lifestyle, where low-carb is the new way to go ! I live southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana....have three awesome kids. We are deep down in the heart of sweet Cajun Country, where we kick back and relax, go hunting, fishing, or make groceries! My doctor told me that my blood pressure numbers were getting too high, so I had to loose weight. She challenged me with ten pounds in three months. That was October 7, 2008. I lost 26 pounds !!! In February of 2011, I found that I had gained a few pounds more than I would have liked, weighing in at 170 pounds. I had to get back into the swing of living the low carb life again !! I am loving the 'low-carb' style and wish to contiue it . I exercise three times a week at the gym, and off the 'off' days, I learn to RELAX !! November 2011, finds me in different circumstances -- a new lifestyle, great community of friends and a challenge to keep that 45 pounds that I lost OFF. Feel free to read my blog, browse around, or just sit a spell!!

The Good, The BAD, and The U-G-L-Y.
I've been gone for a while.. tha yall know.
I was in Waco, on vacation, nearing the end, having a good ole time. Got a phone call on Aug 1st, informing that my mom had passed away.
Went to the funeral home, they wanted their $$ up front. No credit cards, NO monthly payments. (I had NO idea). Then yesterday, my a/c unit for my home went out. Talk about hot. It got to 86 degrees here at night inside my home.
So, it kinda put me in a financial bind (for the moment). (Thats the UGLY part).
I also lost some weight during this time (not because I wanted to)... as I was under a lot of stress.
So thats about it. My husbands' paycheck is spent for the next couple of months.
I'm reading a book called "Praying Our Goodbyes", that is helping me deal with feelings.
I even lost some weight during all this stress.
God IS GOOD. My mom had a beautiful service; I have a new a/c unit, good for another 10 years with an extended warranty for that long.
Hoping everyone is having a Blessed Day!

Greetings from Waco, Texas !!
Greetings from Waco, TX !
It rained most of the morning here. A much needed 'mercy drops of rain', indeed. Temperatures are nice as well.
Today, I learned to "Zoomba" .
HOW TO ZOOMBA (Found this link on you tube of what is is supposed to look like)
It is sort of like a highly active heart racing dancing type of exercise. At 47, I could barely keep up !LOL. We went to the YMCA.. where it was more like a 'studio' class, with about 50 or women and music pumped up as loud as I'd expect to hear at Mardi Gras down on Bourbon Street.
Before I went to Zoomba, I had already exercised for 1 1/2 hours here at the hotel.
I'm done exercising for the day !
Only to find lunch now, but I'm SO Tired !:)

Tuesday Eats !
My breakfat choice was two slices of wheat toast, butter and a bit of grape Jelly.
After hiking up Enchanted Mountain, we went to Subway, where I had the Black Forest Ham and Turkey Salad. Ranch dressing drizzled on top complimented this.
For envening meal, I decided to do the MC Double (without the bun) from Mc Donalds.
I found a banana in the lobby of the hotel, which tasted really good.
Since I'm on a 'tea' kick lately, I found some nice tea packets in the room. Heated up some water to make some iced tea. Turned out pretty good !
Hope everyone is doing well with their low carbing. I'm learning that while on vacation FOOD SELECTION is very important. Seems like I'm exercising WAY too much, but that can't be such a bad thing , right ? LOL. Work off some of those carbs !
