About Me

This blog is dedicated to the low-carb menu challenge presented by Jimmy Moore. I'm living the Louisiana low carb lifestyle, where low-carb is the new way to go ! I live southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana....have three awesome kids. We are deep down in the heart of sweet Cajun Country, where we kick back and relax, go hunting, fishing, or make groceries! My doctor told me that my blood pressure numbers were getting too high, so I had to loose weight. She challenged me with ten pounds in three months. That was October 7, 2008. I lost 26 pounds !!! In February of 2011, I found that I had gained a few pounds more than I would have liked, weighing in at 170 pounds. I had to get back into the swing of living the low carb life again !! I am loving the 'low-carb' style and wish to contiue it . I exercise three times a week at the gym, and off the 'off' days, I learn to RELAX !! November 2011, finds me in different circumstances -- a new lifestyle, great community of friends and a challenge to keep that 45 pounds that I lost OFF. Feel free to read my blog, browse around, or just sit a spell!!

GLP1 WEGOVY PILL DAY 2 — Adjusting, Absorbing, and Attempting to Sleep Like a Human



Good morning, friends.

Day 2 is officially underway, and I’m happy to report that the excessive spit situation has calmed down. (If you know, you know. If you don’t… consider yourself blessed.)

Sleep, however?

Let’s just say my body is still negotiating its contract with this new medication. I expected this, so I’m rolling with it. LIFE carries on — slightly tired, but still fabulous.

Making Informed Decisions (aka: Becoming a Responsible Diet Citizen)

Starting a new medication isn’t something you do blindly. You read, you research, you scroll Reddit at 2 a.m., you find blogs like mine, and you gather every crumb of wisdom the internet is willing to offer.

Because the truth is simple:

Absorbing knowledge is the key.

The more we understand, the better we respond, adjust, and thrive.

My Morning Routine — The Ritual of Discipline

I start my day by taking my Wegovy pill on an empty stomach with a tiny sip of water.

This little pill needs time to absorb, so I give it a full hour before taking any other morning meds.

Around 10 a.m., I ease into my “brunch” — high protein, low carb, and always protein first.

I’m also keeping Liquid I.V. in the rotation because electrolytes are not optional right now; they’re essential.

My Diet Approach

High protein.

Low carb.

Protein first.

Repeat until it becomes a lifestyle.

Suggested Exercises

A few of my go‑to movement options:

Walk at Home Leslie Sansone Walk at Home Link perfect for days when leaving the house feels optional

EDR Body Fitness Program EDR Fitness  - structured, motivating, and doable

Denise Austin Sculpt and Tone  Denise Austin  - a classic for a reason

DAY 2 — Adjusting, Absorbing, and Attempting to Sleep Like a Human


Leslie Sansone Walk at Home — perfect for days when leaving the house feels optional

EDR Body Fitness — structured, motivating, and doable

Denise Austin Sculpt & Tone — a classic for a reason

These aren’t hardcore, intimidating workouts. They’re approachable, effective, and perfect for anyone easing into a new routine.

Final Thought

I hope these little tips help someone out there.

We’re all students in this process, and the best thing we can do is school ourselves — learn from the best, learn from each other, and learn from our own bodies.

Have a wonderful day, and may your Day 2 (or Day 22, or Day 222) be filled with progress, patience, and a little laughter.
