Results!

Yesterday I had my measurements retaken. I have jumped on the scale here and there just to see if there was any change but other than that I haven't taken any measurements since I began. Well here are the results after being Paleo for 30 straight days:
Weight 117 lbs. Thats down 4.5 lbs!
BP 106/72 My diastolic decreased by 4 showing my heart is more conditioned.
Reasting HR 64 At the time I was excited so thats why this number is higher.

Now for the good stuff!
Anthropometric Measurements:
Bicep R/L: 9 3/4, 10 1/2
Bi Flex (R/L): 10 1/4, 10 1/2
Chest <32
Waist <25
Abdomen 25 1/2
Hips 36 3/4
Thigh R/L: 18 1/2, 18 1/2
Calf R/L: 13 1/2, 13 1/2
* I lost inches around my waist and hips which I am very excited for. I lost body fat and gained muscle in these areas.

Body Compostition:
Abdomen: 10 Thats down by 3!!!
Suprailliac: 10 Thats down a whopping 5!!!!!
Tricep: 11 Thats down by 2!!
Thigh: 22 Thats down by 4!!!!
Total: 53; a difference of 14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Body fat % 17.2 which is a difference of 2.4!!

My body fat weight went from 23.8 to 20.1 and my lean body mass went from 97.7 to 96.9. I feel as though my LBM may be skewed a little considering I gained a ton of muscle.

I am beyond proud of these numbers. I was expecting to see results but I wasn't sure how extreme they would be. I have since been eating pretty much the same things as I was on my diet with the exception of the delicious Ben and Jerrys (which I finished last night :/ ) and the two pieces of pizza I had last night. Boy am I paying for that pizza. This morning I woke up with cramps which is defiantly my body saying PLEASE DON'T FEED ME THIS! I agree with my body and will be the first to say it definitely is not worth it.  I will head to the gym and make up for it though. I have also realized that when I eat ice cream before bed it puts me in a coma and I pass right out. Not in a really good way though because normally I wake up energized but the past two days I haven't been.

So there you have it. Hard work does pay off. Oh yeah heres some pictures of my brand new abs!
