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.

Takin' It Easy...


After five days at home with a sick kid, today was the day to venture out. I exercised for two hours at the gym this morning, so you can imagine my appetite.
As shown in the picture above, are the ingredients. I don't usually picture ingredients, but I think you get a better idea if you see them.
Was not in the mood for lettuce and tomato, so I added a few peanuts on the side. Of course, the sandwich is made with the low carb bread from yesterday's baking experience !
On a good note, I lexercised for two hours at the gym todday AND I lost another pound. I now weigh in at 136, but this was 10+ days with out weighing in and five of the last days with No gym workout. Hey, at least it's something , right ?
Hope your day is a great one !

Hey bay--
A pound here, a pound there, sooner or later you're talking about some serious stones.

Just curious. Do you shoot for a max calorie goal per day?

See ya later

Hi there -- my crawdad bud ! Eating low carb is NOT about counting calories, or fat, its about counting CARBS !! I aim for about 40 - 60 carbs per day.

At about this time, my body seems to be 'maxing' out... evening out..

The weight loss is not like it was, but then neither is my recent physical activity (read previous days posts).

But to answer your question : That is why a low-carb diet is SUCH a great thang darlin ! You eat all the fat and meat, and cheese, etc... Hickory Farms sells some great stuff.. ever been to their website ? I got a LOT of stuff at 75% off after Christmas.

If you'd like more information.. (TMI ??) you can start where I did, by researching "Jimmy Moore".. my high blood pressure scare and his website experience on low carbing got me into this 'thang of mine".

Jimmy has a low-carb menu blog which you can subscribe to at :

Good job with the exercise, BayouBabe. Two hours is pretty impressive - especially after a long absence.

Congrats on the weight loss as well. Any amount of loss counts, in my book! :-)
