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.

"Teas" & "Fuze" Me




Harry left a comment on yesterday's blog about teas. I love teas ! Yes, especially when you are feeling like crap, teas have a way of working magic on you.


My favorite brands are Yogi Tea and Celestial Seasonings teas. I like chamomile organic Yogi Tea & Candy cane lane green tea & Gingerbread spice Herbal caffeine free Celestial Seasonings teas.
Thanks Harry, for stopping by my blog, and posting such a sweet suggestion to make me feel better.

Onto another subject..


I just love Fuze Drinks... they are low carb, come in a variety of flavors and offer an alternative to the water or tea drinker. HOWEVER, It was not until I actually LOOKED on the label and noticed that in little letters "LOW CARB", but other than that, they look the same. I thought ALL FUZE drinks were low in carbs.

I am kinda like the gal that makes groceries, and brings home tomato PASTE instead of tomato sauce. Cest la vie !!

I exercised for two hours at the gym today AND walked 4 miles with Leslie Sansone walking DVD.
For lunch, I had chicken salad on my low carb breadmachine bread. I had Cheetos puffs 100 Calorie packs for a snack.
For supper, I am planning on eating the other half of my Chef Salad with Kraft dressing.
Have a Blessed Weekend !

Thanks for sharing your tea favorites. That's always helpful to know. Helps me figure out new things to try! :)

2 hours of working out and 4 miles of walking?! Holy guacamole! That's fantastic!

You're doing great, Bayoubabe! What a great example you're setting!

PS - the "word verification" that I had to type, in order for my comments to be posted was "MANGA" ... in Italian, that means eat! :)

As always, Harry you brighten up the dull spot in my day.. we need to get OCt some TEA :)

I tried to punch up the subject a bit with "Teas Me", but I thought that it might be a bit much for a young lad like yourself to handle -- NOT ! LOL.

The Leslie Sansone DVD is great. I can walk at home, and in under an hour I can walk 5 miles, IF I wanted to.

I'm feeling SO much better today, -- hey I even washed my truck.
