    Yeah! It's really hard especially because it's the land of drinking as well.

    It was when I moved from New Orleans area to NC that I started gaining weight. Two pounds of boiled crawfish could fill me up! Plus all the exercise peeling them . . . negative calories, hah!

    Alcohol (Hurricanes, Hand Grenades, Jesters, etc.) too haha. But seriously good food! Johnny's Po-Boys is a good spot!

    Are you close to Lafraneire Park? I used to go there every morning at 5:00 to walk/run the two-mile track, usually twice. Got home in time to take a shower and be at work for 8:00. Very safe with lots of other people there including park personnel, and several places to use the bathroom, hah!
