- 🌾 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.

Another one bites the dust...
Another one bites the dust.. OR the importance of measuring.. when dieting.
I *never* realized how important it was to measure yourself when dieting ! I thought by loosing my seven pounds in five weeks was a good thang. I met with a personal trainer today to get the ropes on how to use the machines at the gym. (It is a free service that Anytime Fitness provides). Turns out where I was measuring MY waist, and where I should *actually* measure my waist was in two different places ! Oh my, how dumbfounded I was to learn my actually TRUE waist measurement. =( I am definitely way too embarrassed to report it.
------------------------------------------
For exercise today, I exercised with Exercise TV channel, doing 40 minutes of yoga, and 20 minutes of "Family Walk', with Leslie Sansone. I also went to the gym, and climbed aboard the 'cross training' machine, did 20 minutes of that. It is similar to the elliptical, but has a place to hold on with your hands and your arms swing back and forth as well as your feet.
----------------------------
I made a nice salad for lunch.
One slice of Ham ( 0 carbs, 60 calories), three slices of turkey breast (90 calories , 3 carbs) Chicken salad on top (boiled egg, little big of chicken breast) ??
------------------------------------------------------------
For dinner :
bacon (Calories - 215, 0 carbs , egg (calories 65, carbs 0 ) , two slices wheat bread (carbs 16, calories, 260 ) , handful of blackberries (carbs, 5 , calories 18)
TOTAL Carbs = 25, 817 calories..
Hey, at least I was on track today ! How did yall do ??
