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.

4 months = 28 Pounds Lost !!





<<-- January 2008






It just dawned on me a moment ago, that today was my four month anniversary since I started my low-carb diet and exercise regime. On Oct, 7, 2008 I weighed in at 164 pounds..
Let's not forget the REASON I decided to go low carb. My doctor said I was going through pre-hypertension (blood pressure numbers were a bit high). AND the fact that I went through a hysterectomy on Aug. 12th, which added to the aggravation of weight gain.





January 2009


At 5' 4" I am SO vertically challenged ! Today, I weighed in at 136, for a grand total of 28 pounds lost, and I have KEPT IT OFF !!

As told in a recent blog, it took me 10 days to loose the last pound. I had a sick child at home for five days, and I had not been to the gym to exercise in that amount of time.

So as the saying goes, time to move onward. I am almost at where I want to be, but am not sure just exactly 'where' is. I really have no desire to weigh under 130 pounds, so I'll worry about that bridge when I get there. I am VERY pleased with my progress. As many have you have pointed out, a pound here, a pound there adds up eventually !

Thank you for being my virtual soul and spirit out there. It is very encouraging to have a small circle of low-carb friends from around the world.. Most of all, thank you to Jimmy Moore :)

Blessings to everyone !:)
