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.

The Strands of Time..


What a difference a single week can make ! Ash Wednesday changes the mood from revelry to recovery. No one understands this better than New Orleanians (and possibly, new mothers.)Today, most stand silently at Mass -- a time for introspection and self-deprivation that comes to this mostly Catholic city with the arrival of Lent.


This journey is a time for doing penance from the dietary excess, oh wait -- aren't we already doing that ? Being low-carb fits in perfectly with the Lenten season.


I'll try to think of many "Lenten low carb dishes'' and conjure up a few with my Southern twang taste. Seafood, no doubt. Veggies for sure. Let's see what we can 'dish' out during our Lenten
journey. I'll have to check the carb count on the recipes shown below.


Yall have a Blessed evening :)
