Slightly bad news arrived yesterday, I have been working with a bum shoulder for the last 4 weeks. It finally reached a point of annoyance to get me to go to the Sports Doc. I discovered that I have a small tear of the rotator cuff. I have more stretching and strengthening to do, but lifting can continue in the mean time.

I finally replaced my work profile photo. Every time I would see the photo on the left, I'd get upset all over again how far I had let myself go, and I would go to the gym again. It is amazing what 7 months and 80 pounds lost can do.

Video is done, and will be uploaded to YouTube tonight. I did three tests on whether or not this air fryer deserves counter space or not. I tried it out with frozen chicken wings, low carb chicken nuggets, and bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. As December comes to a close, I also wanted to post I passed 2 of the 3 APFT challenges last week doing 43 situps and 2 mile run in 18:21.
I have been working with a personal trainer the last two weeks, so no weight loss. I however keep pushing at the gym and am lifting more weights. Another target is building core muscle groups, which I typically haven't done on my own. Video should be posted by tomorrow.

I was offered an Avalon Bay Digital Air Fryer for review, and it arrived while I was down in Oklahoma this weekend picking up my eldest daughter. I was anxious to come home and try it out. I will be doing a more complete review video on it in the next couple weeks, but as a guy who loves wings, I knew what my first food would be.
Here is a photo from my first meal. The wings turned out very crispy and done right as if they were fried. They weren't the soggy mess that I have come to associate with baked wings. It was none the less a very successful first test of the air fryer.

I am Atkins Diet low carb success story. I lost 211 pounds following a low carb (Atkins) diet 9 years ago and have kept the weight off. My channels features Low Carb recipes and "how to" cooking videos. I also attempt to clear up the misconceptions and myths surrounding low carb living and how one can be healthy and have nearly unlimited energy on this lifestyle.
