    Update time!

    • The whole skin thing is done, thank goodness… I put the bands away and stopped eating corn, and it’s all gone.
    • After reading an article by Scotty Hagnas about reversing low T by getting off a chronic low-carb diet, I’m noticing that a) my belly is a bit fatter, but b) everything else is leaning out and getting better. Which is what he said would happen, because T is climbing again. So, it has been about a month of this, which (in my mind) means it’s about time to start cycling the carbs to a 1:3 schedule, and see if I can lean out.
    • I finally picked up a $200 weight set for $100 off craig’s list, so my garage is somewhat functional. Yee haw.
    • I started studying aikido, which I’m completely stoked about.

    That’s pretty much where things are at; I’m lifting 3x/week (and will start using this log again to track poundages), walking, and now, doing aikido 4x/week — which isn’t very strenuous at all, except for falling down and getting up again. A lot.

    Thinking about the first time the big skin thing happened… and I’m trying to remember if it was before or after I got my jump stretch bands. I know I’ve had allergy problems w/ latex before – well, with that powdery stuff they put on latex – but I’ve been using the bands and haven’t had any problems on my hands, only my face. So, WTF?

    (it started after I got the bands, but the WTF still stands!)

    mwod: shoulders
    kb work, extension

    Haven’t been posting, but I’ve been working out…

    Having a bizarre skin/burn/thing; assuming it’s a food-based reaction, but have no idea as to what’s causing it. So, time for a food log & symptom watch. My hunch: cashews. We’ll see.

    It’s been coming and going the past few weeks; always seems to start on a Thursday-ish, worse on the weekend, and cleared by the next week.

      cashews (oops?)

      oh, yeah… I’ve started drinking the cultured coconut milk lately, too – but well after these breakouts began. Had about 4oz. today. Fish oils, L-carnitine, dhea, alpha lipoic.

      And a little chocolate w/ whipped cream in the evening.

    The CKD (cyclical ketogenic diet) is going well… stayed <30 carb g/day last week M-F, and S/S ate pretty normally, but added in a couple of sweet potatoes and such. No ‘off-the-rails’ craziness, just the cacao-coconut milk thingy in the evenings. Mellow. And now, back on the CKD during the week.

    Oh, and weigh-in on Sat. am said 218, so that’s 3 pounds down, which is amazing for me.

    Did some swings, bench, kb clean & press, etc. this morning.
