Body for life the Gluten Free Way Day 1

So having done Body for life before I know that its something that works for me.  Is the kind of person that I am.  So I've decided to do again.  This time though, I'm Gluten free, Soya Free, Dairy Free and Sugar Free.  The hardest thing is the lack of available protein shakes.  I've surfed the internet and managed to find a substitute to Myoplex or normal Whey Protein shakes.  I've ordered it and its coming from USA.  Yay!! Other than that, its all about being ready for everything and planning my whole programme at all points. I've ordered the book to and the journal to help me on my journey.  Day one is today and so far so good.  I've been to the gym and worked on my upper body.  I'll do my first weigh in tomorrow and take my before photographs. Quite excited really.  One of the hardest things will be having to get a taxi to my chosen gym every day as its too far away to walk but I want this so I'm willing. :-)
