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.

WEGOVY GLP1 PILL DAY 6: The Soda Breakup — It’s Not Me, It’s You.

 



Day 6: The Soda Breakup — It’s Not Me, It’s You.

Today marks Day 6 on my Wegovy GLP‑1 pill journey, and I have officially done the unthinkable:

I broke up with soda.

Yes, soda — that fizzy little troublemaker.

The caffeine‑monger.

The calorie‑deficiter.

The liquid chaos agent.

And honestly… soda is a drug. There, I said it.



🫖 My New Love Affair: Green/Black/Herbal Teas + Liquid I.V.

Today was my first full day without any sodas. Not a sip. Not a sniff. Not even a longing glance at a Diet Coke label.

Instead, I’ve moved on to something far more elegant:

• 5 cups of water brewed in the coffee maker

• Adagio tea bags steeped right in   Adagio Teas

• A packet of Liquid I.V.

• Sip all day like a hydrated woodland fairy

I’m hoping this shift creates a healthier, calmer, more hydrated version of me -- preferably one who doesn’t experience caffeine or sugar withdrawals. Manifesting that for myself.

Because let’s be honest:

Consistency beats intensity every single time.

Simple beats complicated for long‑term adherence.

Supportive beats punishing for lasting transformation.

Green tea helps with recovery, inflammation, and stress regulation. It's basically the holy trinity of “I’m trying to get my life together.” LOL



🍵 The Tea Stash Situation

I have an entire assortment of Adagio Teas (thank you, Christmas sales).

If you’re curious:

They also encourage you to explore more blends at teachef.com -- but read the ingredients carefully. Some of these teas scream HIGH CAFFEINE in bold letters, and that is the last thing I need right now. I’m trying to detox, not launch into orbit.


🍽️ Food Report: Protein First, Always

No hunger to report today.

I’m eating two solid high‑protein, low‑carb meals a day.

My favorite berries:

• Blackberries

• Blueberries

Salads are making a comeback soon — I can feel it.

🏃‍♀️ Movement: The Ongoing Saga

I know I need to step up my exercise game.

Right now I’m:

• “Walking Away the Pounds” with Leslie Sansone

• Practicing yoga

• Doing EDR Fitness

(Links are in previous posts — I’m not reinventing the wheel today.)

I’m still figuring out what type of exercise I need to add next. Maybe more weight‑bearing? Maybe something fun? Maybe something that doesn’t require me to pretend I’m an Olympic athlete at 6 a.m. I’ll get there.


🌅 Onward to Day 7

Tomorrow is Day 7, and I’m hoping to bring you a full report — preferably one that does not involve me crying over a can of Dr Pepper.

Stay tuned. The saga continues.
