30 Days of Antiautoimmunity!

Beginning on Monday, the blog will be revived as I begin 30 days of grain/legume/dairy/egg/nut/seed/nightshade-free living!

Al asked me to blog what I eat and I think that's a great idea for accountability purposes. I'll also start blogging my training again.

I will be taking facial photos to measure the OFG (which is the main purpose), but also weight, measurements etc.

No blow-outs planned prior but I might have a bit of dairy this weekend!

Today's training:

14 April 2011: Back in action... sort-of

10:00 (ABW) (w/DW)

*Performed usual "big 5" workout with 10% lower weights than previous session. Did not count reps or time sets but used slow tempo as usual. Weakness was noticable! Combination of de-training and aftereffects of neck injury no doubt.
