About Me

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.

Takin It Easy...



I DON"T feel like myself today. I think I may have either exercised too much yesterday, or I'm beginning to come down with something. I had to take a Zyrtec-D, as my sinus problems gone awry today. Even when I tried putting on makeup , you could STILL see the bagginess under my eyes ! My eyes keep watering so Its definitely allergy/sinus related. I'm about to take some ibuprofen, as the sinuses keep draining down to my throat now, and I have a sinus headache.. SO how was your day ?? I did not even get to exercise...and I cant even finish my ham and turkey salad tonite =(

For breakfast I had two eggs on one slice of wheat toast. For lunch I had lettuce, tomato, turkey, ham and cheese on two slices of wheat toast. For supper, I had a salad consisting of different cheeses, pepperoni slices, bacon, Kraft dressing, tomato, lettuce, ham and turkey.

On a bright note, I DID see that Jimmy is checking out our blogs and he even left a comment on mine the other day !! Its SO nice of him. Now lets get him doing to do and audio/or you tube blog on US, doing OUR BLOG MENUS...
