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.

Cinco de Mayoooo !! And it only gets better..

Happy Cinco de Mayo ! I was planning on making tacos to celebrate the occasion, but never got around to it. For lunch :





Wheat bread = 16 carbs. Two cups of steamed veggies = 8 carbs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Darrell told me that 'it only gets BETTER.' WOW , what a loaded statement ! I tend to believe that is true. So what if you are having a so so day, right ? What comes NEXT ??

I had one of those today. Between teaching, a sick, 12 year old, a husband who was just told he's working turnaround until the end of the month... it only gets better, RIGHT ??

After making groceries tonite.. I think my body just gave out. I was up half of the night with my son (he has a fever). Brought him to the doctor today. Of course Louisiana is probably the only state where you can wake up one day with 80 degree temps and the next with 50 degree temps. That is what happened this week. I think everyone is suffering in one way or another... So I'll just let my body 'recover' .. and we'll see how that goes.

I dont have much of an appetite tonight, so I ate an entire banana...

Off to do housework and tend to the ailments of the teen. Hope your evening is an enjoyable one. Did you have anything special to eat for Cinco de Mayo ?
