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.

There's a New Kid In Town -- Mc Donald's

Our newest neighbor on the block -- Mc Donald's just opened up this week, in our quaint, rural town. Dollar General was the main stay until Mickey D's came along.. My momma would say "Its the best thang since sliced bread !"... Well, today I went exploring our newest restaurant... but I should have stayed HOME !!



Who would have thought, their Sausage Patti and Eggs would total 16 carbs combined ! To add insult to injury, I had TWO servings of the eggs (2 carbs) and ONE of the Sausage patti -- a whopping 14 carbs !! So my total carb intake for BREAKFAST ALONE WAS 16 carbs.... I nearly fainted when I just read this !!

Come on a 14 carb sausage patti ? what the heck is in it ?

I'm a very disappointed in myself for making such POOR choices.

THANKS NEWVISION, ITS REALLY ONLY ONE CARB, I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW !! ((NEWVISION))

For supper, I had roast beef tips on two slices of wheat bread (8 carb per slice), so this totaled up to be rough estimate of 20 carbs, (YES, I had the gravy too !)

So, 36+ carbs persay, is not a BAD total, but this is only for two meals !

I've wised up today -- know your carb intake BEFORE you go to Mc Donald's

The Carb count for a sauage patty is 1 carb each. I think you looked in the wrong column. I looked twice.
