Matt Lentzner, Janine Jagger and I have designed a survey for participants of Gluten-free January, using the online application StatCrunch. Janine is an epidemiologist who studies healthcare worker safety at the University of Virginia; she has experience designing surveys for data collection so we're glad to have her on board. The survey will allow us to systematically gather and analyze data on the results of Gluten-free January. It will be 100 percent anonymous-- none of your answers will be connected to your identity in any way.
This survey has the potential to be really informative, but it will only work if you respond! The more people who take the survey, the more informative it will be, even if you didn't avoid gluten for a single day. If not very many people respond, it will be highly susceptible to "selection bias", where perhaps the only people who responded are people who improved the most, skewing the results.
Matt will be sending the survey out to everyone on his mailing list. Please complete it, even if you didn't end up avoiding gluten at all! There's no shame in it. The survey has responses built in for people who didn't avoid gluten. Your survey will still be useful!
We have potential data from over 500 people. After we crunch the numbers, I'll share them on the blog.

Last year was the first time our entire state participated in a huge park clean-up event. We wanted to use twitter to spread the word, but the whole concept was entirely new to those putting the event together in our area. They asked if I could help out with an explanation and a video was made. I just saw the video for the first time today and I thought I would share.
This year, on April 30th, we'll be doing another project throughout the state. I'm looking forward in participating.

Monday Weigh in
This morning I was down to 118.4kgs (262lbs or 18 stone 9lbs)
This is cool as when I resumed my band journey in October in earnest I weighed 122kgs (269lbs or 19stone 3)
I am being very careful with this fill. Yesterday I had soup and liquids or yogurt all day and then about 11pm I had about a cup of mashed potato with some creamy coleslaw.
Today I had a berroca during my workout at the gym. I don't really like them, so putting it in the sports bottle meant that I did actually finish it. We fast walked 5k, rowed 5k and cycled 5k with a little bit of PowerPlate wiggling and some random tries of other machines to see what they were like. Then for lunch TB had made a nice soup, but it was too 'whole' for me with big lumps of veg in. The spoonful I did eat was really tasty, but I just couldn't eat any more after the first bite. I know from old that I never used to be able to eat before about 4pm, so I came home and the soup finally passed through the stoma. I had a couple of coffees and tea and then a can of mushroom soup for very late lunch.
I haven't got a clue what to do for dinner tonight, But I think I am going to make an old favorite - Pasta with spinach, Philadelphia and bacon. I don't know how much I will manage but I will take my time as always, and chew chew chew!
I think I actually might have a working band. who the FUCK would have thought it!! HURRAH!

Want to know what the best exercise tip is to achieve that end firm, tight and attractive? I do not think I know a woman who will not only achieve a tighter final end .
Well, the answer to your search for the best year end is not in a flamboyant jet machine or extreme. In fact, most of the best exercises are done simply end with bodyweight or free weights. Will cover one of the most effective exercises to tighten the old buttocks in this article.
It's called the one-legged Romanian Deadlift . It is a great exercise for specifying both the end and the back of the thighs. Also, because this is a one-legged exercise, actually helps strengthen the ankles and other stabilizer muscles throughout your legs. Here's how:
1. Look straight ahead, stand and balance on one leg, and puts the other leg slightly behind you.
2. Keep a very slight tilt in the knee throughout this exercise.
3. Now start to bend forward at the same time pushing back end and hips and keeping a flat (not rounded) back.
4. By bending over and pushing the hips support, kicking off another leg behind you and reach down with his hands towards the toe is planted in the ground and try to touch it. You should feel a stretch in the hamstrings as it arrives at the deepest part where your back is parallel to the floor.
5. Then, focusing on squeezing the muscle hard end while reverses and brings support to the upright (all the while maintaining that flat back)
Well, that was a representative! Now make a 5-10 representatives on each leg for 2-3 sets mixing this exercise into one of your normal (or even try this at home only in his room.) At the end of a couple places, I guarantee you will feel the first in your buttocks and back of the thighs!
I know that may sound a bit complicated, and the first time you try this exercise in extreme, you may need to really concentrate on your balance. But after a couple sessions of practicing these lame Romanian deadlifts, you will begin to understand and be able to achieve focus more concentration to keep the tight end across the range of motion.
Once you get this down and practice this extreme murderer and thigh exercise regularly, it will be well on your way to show off a tight end and more attractive! See below for most amazing extreme exercises and thigh .
