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.

Add "1" to the Loss Column !


Finally after three weeks of trying, I lost my first pound !!

WOW, it seemed like forever. Perhaps, I just needed to let all of those medications get out of my body first ? Who knows ? But I'll take it where I can get it.

I worked out at the gym for two hours on Sunday and 1 1/2 hours on Monday.

I bbq'd chicken breast, and legs, hamburgers and hot dogs on Sunday.

Yesterday, I turned the meat from the chicken breast into chicken salad. Yummy !!

One thing I learned about eating. If u do NOT need double fiber bread, don't eat it. That was the major cause of my irritable bowel syndrome. I was making my intestines work overtime, trying to churn away at the double fiber.

I'm taking the day OFF from exercising today. Trying to think of other low carb creative recipes for the rest of the chicken.

One down, nine more to go, at this pace, I'll be 10 pounds less by summertime LOL
