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.

Mixed Blessings...





I would like to thank everyone for their ideas about what I can do since I hit the 30 pound weight loss and the "Crossroads" place where I am. I am still thinking about this very much. I did up the carbs a bit yesterday, allowing for some potato salad (have not had that in ages). I jut found my stomach feels more bloated than usual, but then who knows ? It may just be a 'girl thang.'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Today I worked out for two hours at the gym.


Lunch : I had a mixed meat (turkey, ham, chicken) sandwich on my low carb homemade bread.


For supper, bacon & mayo on whole wheat toast.


Not much exciting today. (I can stand a week without excitement).


I continue to monitor our son's progress with his meds (still on three as we speak.)

Only upside is that he goes to bed rather EARLY, giving me some much needed time to myself.


I saw two good movies over the weekend : The Secret Life of Bees and Nights in Rodanthe (gals this is a MUST -SEE movie .. Richard Gere :P )


Have a Blessed evening, everyone. It's almost Mardi Gras time here, and MY BIRTHDAY COMING UP SOON :))


Blessings,


Bayoubabe

Not just for girls... for people who love good movies I think.. hehe I watched Nights in Rodanthe last week.. I was in the right mood and I loved it although it was an emotional rollercoaster and if you didnt watch carefully you would not have a clue about the wild horses showing up on the beach... :) on a side note..What a great place to live* ponders how much a place would cost...
