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 : Muscle Cramps, Cold Temps and a Prayer



Muscle Cramps


Camel spit, ankle cramps, lions, tigers, bears… and apparently ME.

So listen — when I signed up for Wegovy, I thought I was signing up for a journey. Turns out I may have accidentally enrolled in a full‑body CRAMPATHON. Nobody warned me the side effects would come with sound effects, plot twists, and a spiritual awakening.

The Symptoms Nobody Mentions

Let’s start with the camel spit. Yes, the excess saliva. Cute, right?

Then came the ankle cramp. Fine. Annoying, but manageable.

But the moment I tried to lie down?

BOOM.

Like being hit by a Cadillac made of pure regret — stomach cramps so intense I said more prayers in one night than I have in my entire life. And trust me, I was raised Southern. We know how to pray.

Nothing soothed me. Not a thing.

The Good, the Bad, and the UGLY

These are side effects -- real and Untouched ones.

The kind that remind you this medication is powerful, your body is adjusting, and sometimes the “journey” feels more like a survival challenge.

But here’s the good news:

You will still be alive the next day.

I’m living proof, typing this with the same hands that were clutching my stomach 12 hours ago.

My DIY Cramp Survival Kit

I tried everything short of calling a priest:

• Pickle juice

• Mustard

• Cold compress

• Elevation

Basically, I treated myself like a turkey sandwich.

Did it help?

Somewhat.

Did I consider going to the ER sideways?

Absolutely.

Electrolytes: The Plot Twist

I had been cutting my Liquid I.V. packets in half to save a few dollars.

Well… not anymore.

At this point, my body needs every electrolyte it can get.

Budgeting can wait !  Survival comes first.


Weather Report: Pain Edition

It’s 20 degrees here, and I swear the cold is making the cramps worse.

Is that scientific?

Maybe.

Is it dramatic?

Always.

Should Jim Cantore come do a live weather update from my living room about the “Cramping Front” moving through my body?

Absolutely yes.

Final Thoughts

This is a personal journey — messy, unpredictable, occasionally hilarious, and sometimes painful. But I’m sharing it because someone out there is Googling “Wegovy cramps am I dying,” and I want them to know:

You’re not dying.

You’re just on Wegovy.

Stay tuned for updates…

Or no‑shows.

Either way, it’ll be me, reporting live from the trenches of my own body.
