I just picked up the weights I use every time I get it into my head I'm going to get my upper body strong. Not good. In fact, worse than it's ever been. Where did what muscle tone I had in my arms go? Is it cheating to blame celiac? fuck fuck fuck. I have never had strong arms, so I find it hard to believe they could actually get strong. (especially with the thundering voice of "you're thirty-fucking-four and you're getting obsessed with what now?" in my head).

Right. Well. Okay, instead of starting at 0, I'm starting at -2. Okay. I can work with this. I suppose.

What is this all about you may ask. Well, it's no doubt at least marginally obvious. But I want to take class here: http://www.martinez-destreza.com/ and as I learnt the hard way at that historic fencing class I took last year, my arm strnegth is total shit.

I'll never not be a Big Fucking Dork, so I could at least use it to get in shape. Or something.

Wow! I've been itching to train there for years, such is my fascination with the confluence of hermeticism an martial arts. In fact, a trip to NYC to facilitate some instruction may be in the offing in the coming year.

When you get there, be sure to post about how it goes!

This came to mind more about bruising than this post. There are also things you don't eat not because of celiac. I know you hate bananas, but they're the best way not to bruise easily, and potassium is useful for other things, too. Also vitamin C.
Are there gluten-free vitamin supplements to be found?

Ye, and I take a ton of C and zinc daily. (basically, I'm supposed to take small-dose suppliments all day long now in hopes some of it will absorb).
