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.

Blame it on the C-O-K-E !!!

Yes, Blame it on the Diet Coke Zero, SHAME on you !

I weighed myself this past Thursday, only to find that I did NOT loose any weight at all ! How discouraging.. ! So, I thought the next couple of days things I may have done that could be the culprit.

I was eating between 40 - 60 carbs. I was drinking two Diet Coke Zero's a day. Blame it on the COKE ~~

New day, new plan. So with game plan in tow today, I decided to cut down the number of carbs per day. NO COKE ZERO, JUST WATER



I had a chicken pattie, some mixed fruit, baby potatoes, and two slices of white bread for a total of 47 carbs. I threw in a diet popsicle for a treat.


I exercised at the gym for one hour today, and took a one hour body flow class.

Hi Bayoubabe, Happy Birthday to you!

I know how you feel. My favorite carbonated drink is Diet Mountain Dew. It's the one thing I can't seem to let go of lol.

I might also blame it on the wheat...

It seems to spike blood sugar even more than it should considering the carb count. Have you read Dr Davis's blog? He talks about it there. Anyway, hang in there.

And btw, i <3 NOLANS- I went a year ago for Christmas break and I was amazed. So few cities have good architecture and are walkable in the USA...and the people are so friendly! So much so than in Miami.
