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.

Got Independence ?

Happy July 4th !



Are you staying inside to avoid the heat today ? I certainly am.  Are you moving, sitting, wondering or exercising ?  What are you waiting for? What do you need Independence from ? Need motivation to get moving ?  Turn off your computer, put on your headset, get up and GO.

Do we realize what weighs us down ?  I used to be in this quandary. How many situation/things in our life control US ? If you really think about it : are we centering our lives around things that could REALLY wait an hour while we exercised ?

I would like you to try something NEW ! Instead of writing down what you EAT every day, write down each Activity  you engage in, and how many minutes/hours you are doing it.  It could be as simple as household activities, or watching the kids.  Do this for a few days.  Next take a look how you are spending your time. 

When I first started Low Carbing, I decided to exercise the last ten minutes of every hour. It could be as simple as a brisk walk, or a simple household activity.  This time added up.  My goal was to exercise an hour each every day !  

Leslie Sansone Walking Dvd's

Leslie Sansone  was one of the first exercise tapes I found that was very simple and easy to do.  You are able to walk a mile in 15 minutes from the convenience of your home !

Find what sets you free and give you the time to MOVE. 

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Fourth of July. Remember to stay Hydrated !!
