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.

WORK it out !!



Today, I went to the gym and worked out :

20 minutes on the treadmill
10 minutes on the elliptical
10 minutes on the bicycle

I took a one hour studio class called "Body Pump' at the new gym I just joined. I had NO idea what I was getting myself into.

Bodypump is a barbell class, designed to improve strength and endurance in the major muscle groups. The conditioning techniques integrated into the class have been kept current by by combining music and instructors that inspire participants to give their best efforts. They provide health and fitness benefits, including: -improving full-body strength and general fitness, -shaping and toning major muscle groups and -a high-energy, group-oriented workout experienceng music and instructors that inspire participants to give their best efforts.

I was not that inspired by the class, but slowly warmed up to it. I also learned how to do a push up from a seated position. (hard to explain lol).

Yep, I sure hope all this hard exercise pays off.

I ate broiled chicken, some small potatoes, and meatballs for supper. I had bacon lettuce and tomato on wheat for lunch.

Life IS GOOD. :)
