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.

Low Carb Food Gospel


When I think of low carbing, I think of items that we eat everyday. Like the good book - it provides the  food source which nourishes our bodies. I try to eat low carb, between 20 - 60 carbs a day.



My favorite fruits !

 People ask me if I incorporate fruit into my low carb diet. The answer is  of course !!  My favorites are blueberries and blackberries.   The cantaloupe was on sale for $1.75 each; the Louisiana Strawberries were $1.98; bananas 58 cents a pound.  I think the blue berries and blackberries were around $2.50 each.

For lunch today, I created my own Tuna Salad !!  (tuna - 178 calories) (2 eggs  - 156 calories)

I had dueling lettuce.  The one on the left is from the farmer's market.  The one on the right from the supermarket.  I cut up the lettuce and tomato.. but only used two boiled eggs and one can of tuna.


Food arranged and ready to eat !!


Add a little of Mrs. Dash, pepper, and two tablespoons of Ranch dressing. (8 carbs)
Doesn't my tuna salad look delicious ???

-------------------------------



1/3 cup of nuts for a low carb snack !


For supper - 2 ounces spaghetti ; taco salad (taco shell 16 carbs)
-------------------------------------------------------------

For exercise today, I participated in my RPM (spinning)  and Body Pump (weightlifting) class at Anytime Fitness !
