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.

Turkey Eggs !! It does a body GOOD !!

I've been purchasing chicken eggs for years from a neighbor. The other day, he left a carton of eggs on our swing, with the word T-U-R-K-E-Y  written on it. I thought Turkey ? I've never heard of Turkey eggs... ewwww.  So I goggled the term.

Seems turkey eggs are quite popular and just as nutritious as chicken eggs,  but loaded with cholesterol !  Nutritional Facts for Turkey Eggs  I guess they should come with a warning. Who knew ?  A turkey egg contains over three times the amount of cholesterol found in a chicken egg. With 737 mg per egg, eating just one turkey egg puts you over the American Heart Association's recommended limit of 300 mg per day. Everything in moderation !!


This morning was the first time I actually tried them.  The yolk was a bit thicker. The white a bit thinner.  The flavor a bit stronger.  It was pretty good. My game was on. I'm always willing to try things once. :) So if you are ever in the mood for something different and have a challenging pallate like mine.. why not try turkey eggs ?
