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.

Technology Sucks... and I lost another pound !!

or lack of it, literally ! I'm lost without my camera. I'm plain and simple. I do not need anything beyond my Memorex Digital Video Camera



I like pictures. One can visualize more. It's hard to write a column without pictures lol. B-o-r-i-n-g! Hopefully, it will arrive in the mail this week.

Onto the good news. I lost another pound. That's a total of 14 in 9 weeks. I'm happy with that.



The Body pump and bicycling is helping tone where I need it. Certain exercises can point to muscle gain in certain areas, so choose wisely ! I'm also learning that protein with exercise helps to gain muscle.



Last night (Imagine since I have no photo here...) I had a plate of : Blackberries (4 carbs) , two tablespoons of peanut butter (8 carbs ) on toast(8 carbs and a slice of cheese (1 carb) . This was for a late evening snack. Go Girl..


This is coming from a gal that was so afraid to UP the calories because she would gain weight. Exercising off the calories will maintain the weight.


Yesterday I rode my bicycle up on the levee (yes, one direction against the wind), for about an hour and a half. S-l-ow , steady riding. (This was in addition to a Body Pump class in the a.m. It Was a beautiful day !!

1/2 cup lima beans 20 carbs



slice o bread 8 carbs




4 strawberries. 4 carbs



Total 43 carbs



21 carbs (late snack




Grand total 64 carbs. Yes, high, but I'm intermittently adding protein.. AND exercising.
