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.

Easy to prepare low-carb meals ! (with pictures!)






There's nothing like creating your own low carb meal. It does not have to be fancy or cost a lot.







My choice for brunch today was a lemon peppered chicken breast salad. I topped it with bacon bits, and Ken's Ranch Dressing, 2 oz. (2 carbs).





I also prepared one slice of wheat toast. Lemon peppered chicken is easy to make. I use the frozen ones sold by Schwan's. Just pop one in the oven, cut up your lettuce, tomato and cheese, throw in a few bacon bits -- top with Ranch dressing and walla... your own complete chicken salad !! I love eating low carb because you CAN have a LOT of food and feel full, without indulging in sugars. I drink Lipton diet tea with water.



For dinner, I boiled two eggs, chopped them up with a bit of pickle, add mayo, put on two slices of wheat toast. Again, another inexpensive way to complete your meal. A Coke Zero is my favorite drink to quench my thirst.


I started off the day exercising to Leslie Sansone's Melt Away Your Belly Fat video. She reminds us of lots of hidden dangers are hidden in the excess fat that surrounds our belly. I was able to complete three miles. When I got back from church, I did a mile on the treadmill at home.



I hope everyone has a wonderful evening. Please drop me a note to let me know if you enjoy the pictures. I may end up posting MORE :)
