congratulations :) and your understanding sounds like what I have experienced. I believe that when you have these items pushed, buffered, or stuck in your tissues, you also "micro" damage your muscles from the pumping and internal blood/water pressure of the workout, the extra acid and items exciting the stored acids, etc. You'll also burn much less from the sun--it makes sense that these destructive, vibrating acids will break free from their mucoid / fatty buffers!
