Okay, this is a week I have been looking forward to. First there's Mardi Gras (note: pronounce 'mar-dee grah'... the 's' is silent and if you mispronounce this one people will be convinced you live in a cave), or as I call it "St Patrick's Day for Amateurs."
No really, Mardi Gras is the end of the Carnivale season and the last day to have some real fun before Lent begins. Once again, even if you don't practice any kind of religion, it is good for you to either give something up or make a behavioral change. It's only 40 days. A great test of your will power but with an end in sight.
So after you power up on red beans and rice, King Cake, and the infamous hurricane cocktail (I still have a stain on my rug shaped like Alfred Hitchcock from Hurricanes made, and spilled, 10 years ago), think of something. Maybe you decide you will walk for 45 minutes a day. Maybe you will give up donuts. Quit talking on the phone while you are driving. Just make sure it's something you enjoy but you know is not good for you.
