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.

Living the Low Carb Challenge












(click on image for larger view)

This is in response to Jimmy Moore's challenge of posting our Low Carb meals online. So here it is :) I don't count calories, I count carbs !!


For Lunch I had : Del Monte mixed veggies, Ham & Cheese on Wheat.

For supper I had a Hamburger patti (homemade) with a slice of Kraft cheese on top.

I generally go to the gym three times a week. I do the treadmill, elliptical, and bicycle. I also work out on the weight machines. (no free weights)

I do not eat breakfast usually. Just not hungry in the morning. I eat around 11 am, and then later in the afternoon.

I drink lots of water, and try to use those single pack mixes to give the water some flavor. Every now and then I throw in a Diet Coke.

My most recent purchase was a bread machine. Now that I have all of the ingredients for Atkins low carb bread.. I cannot wait to try it out. My goal is to make my own 3 - 5 carb per slice bread.
