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.

Fun before the storm (It's Mardi Gras Time... down in New Orleans !!


It rained all day on our parade.  Does that stop Mardi Gras..? Heavens Nooo !  God has a funny sense of humor if he thinks a little bit of rain will stop carnival's final weekend ! 

Mardi Gras runs until Tuesday, which is the 'official' day of Mardi Gras. We call it Fat Tuesday. Did u know that ? I don't think there is anything funny with the  word Fat at all. So we fatten ourselves up this carnival day, only so we can go on a 40 day fast ? How does that seem fair when I'm already on a low carb fast ? LOL.  How LOW can we go ? Could this be my Lenten challenge ?  I'm sure there is message in this sermon here somehow to all us low-carbers out there. 

I'll have to be on my BEST behavior if I want to survive this beast of a weekend into Fat Tuesday.


So today, I will tell you how the carb intake went :

Two beef patties (calories = 180, carbs = 0), Mc Donald's Chicken Salad (calories = 220, carbs = 11)

Total = 570 calories, 11 carbs.

For exercise today, I participated in a one hour Body Pump Class at Anytime Fitness.

I WILL SURVIVE !!
