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.

Today I exercised two hours at the gym. One hour was "Body Vibe" and the other was a challenger senior classes called 'Silver Sneakers II', where we do aerobics for 30 minutes, then sit in a chair and do other exercises using an exercise ball, weights, etc.

The weather has been so beautiful lately. I just had to get out and go to Subway for my "Subway Melt Salad" consisting of lettuce tomato pepperoni, ham, cheese, turkey and ranch salad dressing.

Not sure what I'm having to eat tonite. Hope yall had a fit and wonderful day !!

Hey, how's your blood pressure these days? I adopted low carb and some supplements and was able to lower my blood pressure dramatically. Did not really have weight to lose, but my overall health is so much better! About how many carbs a day do you eat? I do around 10-20 on most days and then around 60-100 on some other days.

My blood pressure has been fine. It always has been ! I am back on my low carb regime because I gained like 10 pounds back. =(

I try to eat less than 40 carbs per day. It generally is because if I eat breakfast, that usually counts for 20 carbs, so on the 'other days', it can be up to 60 carbs.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog Flavia. ! Have a blessed day
