About Me

My photo
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.

Hickory Farms, Oh My !!!

I exercised for two hours at the gym today, and came home to this wonderful Hickory Farms Plate Lunch !!


I had a great time at lunch today. I took some of the Hickory Farms Beef Summer Sausage and sauteed it on my indoor grill. The bread you see to the right is the oatmeal molasses bread from the bread machine. I had some lettuce and tomato on the side (made myself a sausage sandwich!). I also had some Hickory Farms smoked cheese. Up top of the plate is those Green Giant Vegetable Medley (8 carbs).
I was so full just from eating what you saw on the plate.


For supper, I had a Mc Donald's cheeseburger patti & a Blue Bell sugar free popsicle.


Enjoy !

What I like most is the selection of cheeses and sausages. You can do SO many things with sausages and cheeses ! Its a low carber's dream :) I loved the smoked taste in the sausage.

Have a Blessed Day !
