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.

Down by TWO !!!



How low can I go ???


Today was weigh-in day at the gym. I felt pretty good after loosing one pound last week, as I exercised more, but it took TWO weeks to loose that one stubborn pound.
Imagine to my amazement, as I stepped on the scale this morn, and lost a total of two more pounds !!! Yep, I guess changing up the exercise routine (doing the weight machines first, and doing more reps, adding minutes to the cardio) is starting to pay off.

I now weigh 141 pounds. Down by 23 pounds since October 7. I'm so stoked !!!

To 'celebrate' my accomplishment, I had chicken salad on my bread machine oatmeal/molasses bread. I also had smothered down some snap beans with onions and ham, so I finished up the rest of those. Topped it all off with a cold glass of Diet Coke. I feel really full right now, and so dern excited, -- I'm about to bust.

I worked out for two hours at the gym this mornin... so I'm "good to go" as they say. Now, if I could only find the perfect low carb bread machine bread that actually RISES , I'd be all set !
Have a Blessed Day, everyone! :)

WTG Girl!
Too bad you can't make a lil trip just far enough to stock up on some Healthy life LC bread. You can find it at any Walmart.
Keep up the good work.
