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.

It's all in the Technique...






Hi ! I hope everyone had a fun filled day today. I'm still trying to sort out this three week mix up in my schedule ! Since I am at the ball park now on Tuesday and Thursday nights, I decided to walk around the walking paths until the game starts. I probably walked about two miles tonite.

After my Bodypump and Bodyflow classes last nite, I found myself thinking about my technique. Since I am unable to go with my regular instructor, I am finding myself correcting my mistakes in another Body Pump class. It is like his voice is inside of my head... saying 'It's all about the TECHNIQUE.' Yeah you right. It should not matter who teaches your class. You are there for the sole purpose of strength training, which is what my instructor, Darrell, was politely trying to point out to me. Technique is very important.. more important than adding weight. Get the technique down, THEN add the weight. Ha. I hear his voice even when I am not in his class. I must be doing something RIGHT. LOL.

I find that in everyday life, we use technique. Whether it's to throw together an awesome salad, and add a little bit of extra salad dressing to make the finished product perfect... or just focusing on climbing uphill on the levee on my new bike (even though i'm not in RPM (spinning class). I use techniques effortlessly now. It's beginning to sink in.
