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.

20 pounds LOST >> where did it GO ? lol





It's been almost 3 1/2 months now. Great news to report, I've lost 20 pounds.. YEAH me ! I started out wanting to loose 10. I'll take 20 in a heartbeat. I now weigh about 131. When I began my low carb diet on February 1, I never dreamed of this much success. SLOW and STEADY is where I wanted to go. I am pleased at the results !

I went from a 35 inch waist, to a 32. Three inches.. so that's about an inch a month. I'm not pleased with a 32 inch waist, but it's better than a 35 inch. If I loose an inch a month, in three months, I'll have a 29 inch waist ! Sounds great, doesn't it ??

I'm still taking Bodypump (weightlifting classes), and RPM (bike spinning) classes. I purchased a new bike, and ride it along the levees here in Louisiana. I ride it every chance I get. My biking shoes (yes, you need a certain type of shoe to ride), has made a world of difference, targeting the right muscles, and giving me a proper workout.

I gained two 1/2 inches in my thighs from Bodypump. Squats and Lunges, I thank you !
I lost 1 1/2 inches in my upper arms, all those giggly muscles are now toned. No chicken wings on this girlie !

I am So ready for summertime. NOT yet ready for the bathing suit challenge, but give me another month or so.

I've been busy with teaching, test taking, etc. Another 10 days of school, and then vacation !! (fingers crossed).

I hope you have enjoyed the journey with me. Keep on reading my journals. I enjoy doing them, and post a comment or two if you like !
