Avoiding wheat is a BITCH

The stuff is EVERYWHERE.  I thought I was wheat free after thanksgiving for a week.  NOPE - red vines have it.
My spicy chicken in the fridge isn't breaded so it's wheat free right?  NOPE.
My beer is safe of course...  NOPE!  Pyramid Chai Wheat brew.


Sheis!

This is a bit harder than I thought.

New Plan!  Avoid wheat generally - except eat down some of the supply at home and give it a go again in a week or so once my wheaty beer is gone.

Day 2.

I worked 11:20 hours today.  that's less than 12 so I have to go to the gym right?  YES.  I did.  I only did the treadmill today - it was about all I could handle - but hey, mission accomplished.

I'm fat.

FITNESS:

I am sick of being fat and feeling like shit.

So - after work I went to fitness evolution and joined the gym.  $10 a month with a sneaky $40 extra after 4 months, so actually $12.50 a month over the course of a year.

In order:
5 minutes walking, 5 minutes jogging, 10 more minutes walking, 5+ minutes of stretching, 20 crunches, 10 pushups.

I really feel the crunches.  sad.


Goal:  any day that I work less than 12 hours, I go to the gym.  I don't have to work out - but I do have to step inside and then step outside.
Silly yes.  The hardest part for me is showing up.


Funny how well named this blog is for what I want to talk about right now...
SLEEP:
I'm in the process of keeping a sleep journal for a second sleep study I'll be doing on (was it) Wednesday.


NUTRITION:
I want to stop eating wheat entirely.  Apparently modern wheat has a protein which is toxic to humans.  Mom lost 16ish pounds in 3-ish weeks simply by cutting wheat out.
