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.

WEGOVY PILL : DAY 17 Down 8 Pounds and Headed to the Super Bowl of Weight Loss !!

 If the Super Bowl had a cousin who preferred electrolytes over beer commercials and protein over nachos, it would be me right now. Seventeen days into the Wegovy pill, and I'm already down 8 pounds - which means somebody's winning, and spoiler alert: it's me. My appetite? She's the one getting sacked on the 20-yard line. I'm not watching the Doritos commercials. I'm not watching the Anheuser-Busch horses trot across the screen. I'm too busy starring in my own commercial - one where the special effects are nausea, hydration, and me trying to remember if I ate lunch or just thought about it. Welcome to the Super Bowl of My Metabolism, where every day is game day and the stakes are high but the snacks are strategic.

Why This Journey Feels Like the Super Bowl

  1. There will be a winner - and it's me. Every Super Bowl ends with confetti, tears, and one team holding the trophy. My version? Confetti = the jeans that suddenly button. Tears = mine, when I realize I'm not hungry. Trophy = 8 pounds gone and counting.
  2. The plays are unpredictable Football has trick plays. Wegovy has trick days. One minute I'm fine, the next I'm asking myself, "Am I nauseous or just dramatic?"
  3. I've got a whole coaching staff NFL teams have head coaches, offensive coordinators, and defensive coordinators. I have: my doctor, my pharmacist, TikTok commenters, and Liquid I.V. acting like the team's hydration coach.
  4. Halftime hits different Their halftime show: Usher sliding across a stage. My halftime show: me sitting on the edge of the bed asking, "Do I need a Nauzene or a nap?"
  5. Commercial breaks are now electrolyte breaks While America is watching beer, chips, and car ads, I'm over here taking commercial breaks to sip electrolytes like it's my job. Honestly, I'm the only one in the country who's going to come out of Super Bowl season less bloated.
  6. The crowd always has opinions Football fans argue about bad calls. People argue about GLP-1 meds like they're NFL analysts. Everyone's got a take - but I'm the one on the field.

My Game-Day Strategy (AKA: What's Actually Working) Protein First My doctor said it, and I'm treating it like the playbook. Protein first, carbs later, and if I'm still hungry after that... well, that's a plot twist. Hydration Like a Linebacker Liquid I.V. Electrolytes. Water. Repeat. If hydration were a sport, I'd be MVP. Nausea Defense Nauzene stays in the starting lineup. It's the defensive line keeping me from tapping out. High-Fat, Low-Carb This combo is my offensive strategy - steady energy, fewer cravings, and no sugar crashes trying to tackle me from behind.

My Personal Commercial If I did have a Super Bowl commercial, it would go something like this: "Are you tired of feeling tired? Want to lose weight without losing your mind? Try Jean's patented method: one Wegovy pill, four ounces of water, a whole lot of electrolytes, and a sense of humor strong enough to survive the nausea." Cue inspirational music. Cue me walking in slow motion holding a Liquid I.V. packet like it's the Lombardi Trophy.

Final Thoughts at the 17-Day Mark I'm not saying Wegovy is the Super Bowl, but it's definitely the biggest game I've played in a while. And right now, the scoreboard says Jean: 8 - Old Habits: 0. I'm not watching the commercials. I'm not eating the snacks. I'm not cheering for a team. I am cheering for myself - and honestly, that feels better than any touchdown.
