About Me

My photo
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.

"There are NO fat taste buds." Dr. Oz

I'm feeling "Easy" in the Big Easy today... treated myself to a day at the spa. Always feels good to treat yourself right.

Speaking of right thangs, check out my lunch today :






Blended Steamers Veggies, Artichoke Dip (4 tablespoons) Snap Beans with slices of Ham.

Ham and Chicken Slices on my homemade Bread machine Bread. Slices of Mozzarella Cheese.

Lots of veggies in there today.. As Dr. Oz put it mildly, "There are NO fat taste buds." LOL

Well, my taste palate was in high gear today ! Ta to Dr. Oz :)

For supper, I had two cheeseburger patties from Mc Donalds and a Diet Coke.

Hope you had fun at your spa day today!

Hey guess what? (chicken butt) Yeah, well guess what else?

I am coming to the big easy with Denny next weekend. He has work to do and I'm tagging along. Not really sure about the details. Maybe we could meet up?

Loved your list of awful products at the supermarket. And good for you for treating yourself to the spa. Sounds great!
