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.

30 pounds -- gone !!!!! Friday the 13th... bad luck??. . NOT for me !!


Yes, today I decided to weigh in. I've lost a total of 30 pounds since Oct. 7, 2008 !!!


I now weigh 134. Whew. It took me an entire month to loose the last three pounds. I'm so excited :)


So Four months, one week = 30 pounds. Who would have thought when I started low carbing, I'd hit the 30 pound mark ??


Life IS good. LOL (thoughts of celebrating with LOTS of carbs are running rampant through my mind right now, but I'm saving THAT celebration for my birthday on Feb. 27th :)))


So what did I eat today ? For lunch, I had a mixed meat sandwich on wheat toast (turkey, ham, etc) and right now I am enjoying a very cold sugar free popsicle.


I hope everyone has a Blessed a day of Friday the 13th as I have been having.


Oh yeah, I worked out at the gym for two hours today...


The NEW ME :)
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, so DON'T forget your sweetheart !! I'm going SUGAR FREE for the entire day !! Wish me LUCK =) Bayoubabe
