Long time no...blog post? I guess...

So I've been doing a lot since my last blog post. First of all, I have been doing almost a month now with no wheat. I have eaten rice a few times, and corn more than that. I have found that if I don't eat too much of either, that they don't really have an effect on me. I think I've also eaten ice cream in that time. I have definitely eaten yogurt and peanut butter. And Agave! O__o

Also, I got a job and am in my training part of it now. It requires me to walk around a little, but it's mostly standing around. But at least I'm up. I haven't been doing that much exercise from the occasional push-up or squat to show that I can kind of do them.

I have read a few articles about squatting and third world squats which I thought were interesting.

Both links I thought had very good information, as well as how to do the squat. I've been trying to get into a comfortable position when doing this squat, but I still need a little practice. I want to be able to do this squat first so that I can hopefully get more out of an exercise squat.

I have found that our scale is off, so I have no clue how much I actually weigh. :/ I am going to measure myself once I find out where to start. I have to look for a book we have...or might have. After that, I may post my measurements and update them when I lose any inches. Hopefully I'll gain inches some places from working out. The only problem with that, is that my sleeves barely fit now because I have "swimmers shoulders". So If my biceps or arms build muscle I might just have to wear tank tops and tee-shirts all the time. :)

Okay, well I hope everyone enjoyed this blog post! I'm going to measure myself soon and I'll probably make a separate blog post for that.
