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.

CARBi-licious ! (Tell me about your low-carb menu challenge !!)



Not sure if this is a new word, but I'm grooving into my menus' ! I think its been almost two weeks since we started our low-carb blogs, and I just wanted to tell EVERYONE how proud I am of them !!

Today for breakfast I had three Jimmy Dean Sausage Patti Links on wheat toast. For lunch I had a slice of wheat toast with a boiled egg sliced on top, mayo, tomato, Kraft cheese & pepperjack string cheese. I also had Hormel Pepperoni Slices and Hormel Canadian Style Bacon slices as a treat.

It's already after 6 pm, and I'm REALLY not that hungry, so I may just not eat anything tonite. Although that Beyer's low carb ice cream sure does sound GOOD :) Ok : I caved in and had some Smartfood popcorn

How is everyone else doing with their blogging ? (total carbs for today : 35)

This has been and continues to be a valuable and fulfilling experience for me.

I hope we'll all stick with it for the long term. That will be my goal.
