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.

GLP1 WEGOVY PILL DAY 2 — Adjusting, Absorbing, and Attempting to Sleep Like a Human



Good morning, friends.

Day 2 is officially underway, and I’m happy to report that the excessive spit situation has calmed down. (If you know, you know. If you don’t… consider yourself blessed.)

Sleep, however?

Let’s just say my body is still negotiating its contract with this new medication. I expected this, so I’m rolling with it. LIFE carries on — slightly tired, but still fabulous.

Making Informed Decisions (aka: Becoming a Responsible Diet Citizen)

Starting a new medication isn’t something you do blindly. You read, you research, you scroll Reddit at 2 a.m., you find blogs like mine, and you gather every crumb of wisdom the internet is willing to offer.

Because the truth is simple:

Absorbing knowledge is the key.

The more we understand, the better we respond, adjust, and thrive.

My Morning Routine — The Ritual of Discipline

I start my day by taking my Wegovy pill on an empty stomach with a tiny sip of water.

This little pill needs time to absorb, so I give it a full hour before taking any other morning meds.

Around 10 a.m., I ease into my “brunch” — high protein, low carb, and always protein first.

I’m also keeping Liquid I.V. in the rotation because electrolytes are not optional right now; they’re essential.

My Diet Approach

High protein.

Low carb.

Protein first.

Repeat until it becomes a lifestyle.

Suggested Exercises

A few of my go‑to movement options:

EDR Body Fitness Program EDR Fitness  - structured, motivating, and doable

Denise Austin Sculpt and Tone  Denise Austin  - a classic for a reason

DAY 2 — Adjusting, Absorbing, and Attempting to Sleep Like a Human


Leslie Sansone Walk at Home — perfect for days when leaving the house feels optional

These aren’t hardcore, intimidating workouts. They’re approachable, effective, and perfect for anyone easing into a new routine.

Final Thought

I hope these little tips help someone out there.

We’re all students in this process, and the best thing we can do is school ourselves — learn from the best, learn from each other, and learn from our own bodies.

Have a wonderful day, and may your Day 2 (or Day 22, or Day 222) be filled with progress, patience, and a little laughter.
