About Me

🌾 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.

On The "Weigh" Down ...





Today I went to the gym ! I lost two more pounds !

I was beginning to wonder if I was exercising enough at home on my day off from the gym... guess I have not been doing too bad !

For lunch today, I had a Subway Salad (12 - 14 carbs) and two packs of small crackers on the side (4 carbs).

At the gym I exercised on the treadmill machine, the elliptical, and the bicycle for 20 minutes each = 1 hour. Then, I worked on the weight machines for another 45 minutes. I FEEL GREAT !!
Weigh in days are always scary... When I began my weight loss on 10/07/2008, I was 164 lbs. Today I weighed in at 146 -- for a total of 18 pounds in 2 months :) My goal is to be 140 pounds by Christmas -- Who knows , huh ?? LOL.

For supper I had fresh steamed broccilli & chicken salad sandwich. For a grand total of 52 carbs :)
