About Me

My photo
New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
🌾 Welcome to My Low‑Carb Life As of January 2026, I’ve started a new chapter: I recently began the GLP‑1 Wegovy pill to help me get back on track with my weight‑loss goals. Life has thrown its share of challenges my way, and I’ve gained back some of the weight I once worked so hard to lose — so this is my reset moment. My journey began in 2008, when my doctor warned me about rising blood pressure and challenged me to lose ten pounds in three months. I ended up losing 26. By 2011, life had shifted again, and I recommitted to the low‑carb lifestyle that helped me feel strong and steady. And today, I’m still committed — just with new tools, new wisdom, and a whole lot more grace for myself. I live just outside New Orleans, deep in sweet Cajun Country, where we hunt, fish, “make groceries,” and enjoy the simple things. I exercise three times a week and practice relaxing on the off days. My immediate goal is to lose 15 pounds, and I’m focused on moving forward with intention and consistency. So pull up a chair and stay a spell — this blog follows my low‑carb journey, my Southern roots, and now, my Wegovy pill adventure.

But many foods that have gotten a bad rap aren’t so terrible after all. Learn which tempting treats can actually help you lose weight and keep it off.

Although this article told ME nothing 'new', it may just be a reminder to those out there who are beginning their low carb regime.

Today, I went diligently to the gym, worked out for 1 hr, 45 minutes, AND I FINALLY LOST A POUND !!! YEAH !!!... I just KNEW if I were to be faithful and work out more, this would happen, AND it happened during Christmas week :))) Wheeeeeeee....

So now, I'm down to 143 pounds... That last pound was HARD to come off, took me two weeks, but I did it !!

Today, I had my first "Southwest Salad" with Grilled Chicken from Mc Donald's' (Tangy, warm, cilatro-lime glazed chicken (grilled or crispy), poblano peppers, roasted tomatoes, crispy chili-lime tortilla strips, black beans, fire-roasted corn, cheddar-jack cheese, lime 1/4 slice, ).. Well, in my salad, there were NO tomatoes at all, and those black beans, I tossed them out. The tortilla strips were more like taco shells to me... but it WAS a great salad.. Total Carbohydrate 30g so says this website

It was the best tasting salad I had in a long time. I did drizzle Ranch dressing on top, so add another 8 carbs.

I also had 1/2 of my usual ham and cheese sandwich on wheat toast.

I was out and about today, very pretty day, with beautiful weather.

Tonight, I had the guilt-free pleasure of eating one Hershey Special Dark Chocolate Miniature
(5 carbs) it was GOOD !!
