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.

Rest The Flesh



Rest the Flesh

Today, I’m resting the flesh.  I finished my second 5 K yesterday.  Its quite funny, cause I am NOT the runner.  I’m just a 53 year-old who is into physical fitness.

I’ve started to include running into my regime though. I may run one mile every other day, but that is about it.  It is just another activity to confuse my muscles.

If you ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you that I can be spotted just about
any where in the Picayune area riding my bicycle. Now there’s my true love. Last month I started to make a goal   ~ challenging myself to 100 miles per month.   Even though I left early to go on vacation, I somehow managed to put in a smooth 132 miles in my ride.

My second love is Yoga.  Third is strength training.

 I’ve been told by WAY to many people… ‘How do you find the time?”.  If you put aside one hour or more for yourself, to exercise  then you would be able to find it. Aren’t YOU worth it? Instead of saying “I don’t have the time’, Try saying “It’s not a priority”, and see how it feels.

Moving is so important. It lubricates our joints. It strengthens our muscles. Its just plain HEALTHY.

I do not know where this journey is going to take me, but I know one thing : I’ll keep MOVING.
