I thank genetics every day for the wonderous mix of German and Scotts
blood that created me.  I can lose fat almost at will, I can gain pounds
of muscle in a week's time, and I'm a seriously strong sonofagun.

Ego stroking aside, there are ups and downs.  I retain water like a
freaking bucket - this morning I woke up and both my arms were numb.  It
wasn't until about 1:00 this afternoon that I managed to flush enough
water out of system to reduce the swelling...

I'm also seriously hypoglycemic - almost to the point of diabetic.  It
ain't easy staying away from carbs.
