    Oh great. This whole thread has turned a bit cheesy. Not that I mind, mind.
    Nah, everything as ever in that crazy head of mine. Just a check as things can go wrong with the type of muscle disease suspected for me.

    Oh yes, I need proper cheese. German cheese overall is rather tasteless and boring. I want to move to the south of Europe. All those lovely goats and other cheeses, and don't get me started on dry meat things!

    Btw, as of today I'm down 1.6kg. Of course not far. That would be impossible, but less waste from eating less, less water weight, more movement. Cool.

    Welcome back! Glad you're getting closer to figuring out what's going on!

    We need a cheese thread in the food category - drool. Will start one later on if I can and we need @AnnPT77 to post that awesome cheese picture!

    Preparing things for an exercise test I have lined up I ran 6km today (50 minutes). Well, that was the stretch goal anyway. I'd hoped to do 5km. 15 minutes in my HR decides to go over what I thought was my anaerobic threshold briefly. Hmpf.. ok, there goes my run. I run on. And on. And on. And then finish after 50 minutes with having run nearly 30 minutes above where I thought that darn threshold was. It just wasn't there at all. Colour me confused. Especially as I seem to be getting lactic acidosis if I'm not careful enough. Makes no sense.

    I hope you're able to get down to some kind of good explanation of this, and treatment if that's needed. I can't imagine how frustrating it is not really knowing . . . but at least it sounds like there's some progress toward better diagnosis. Hoping, on your behalf!

    @AnnPT77 I think the answer to everything is just: bodies are weird. Yeah, mine is certainly weird. I currently seem to be losing weight like crazy. 12 days in and I'm down 2kg. Which begs some questions: Lots of this is likely water. I've never held so badly onto water before despite a high carb diet that I can't change as my body needs it. I'm eating 1400 calories plus all exercise (mostly short runs 3-4x per week). With my TDEE around 1700 on non-exercise days this is by no means a huge deficit, though of course could be smaller. Hmm...

    Aaand... tomorrow will be waterweight day! I made teriyaki with salt instead of sugar. Which I only noticed when I put the marinated tofu into the pan. Yiha. :D Oh well, it was tasty after all (after adding some emergency sugar and some lemon)

    I fried chicken one time I dredged in powdered sugar by mistake.

    That was exciting. It foamed over as soon as it hit the hot grease.

    Ouch! I think I know why I don't have a fryer. :D did you in the end get something edible out of it?

    Deep fried powdered sugar chicken? Ummm…..as much as I love sweet things…..NO.

    Haha, yes, I can imagine. Next attempt at tofu teriyaki tonight. I did use sugar this time instead of salt.

    Trying to run a bit further again. At least get to 10km without wrecking myself. Today I managed 6.7km (yeah, I know... just 300m more to 7km. Sigh) in 54 minutes. Next goal will be 7km or 60 minutes, whatever comes first. I mean... wow, running for nearly an hour without stopping. For me, that is huge!

    Have to think of what I want to cook for the next two days. I have so much food in the fridge and don't want to buy more veggies.. maybe an aubergine curry of sorts.
