My total weight loss was 42 pounds. It really took seeing the pictures to see how far I’d come. The work is far from over. The diet was very tough to stick to at first; I guess I really didn’t notice how many carbs/grains/sugar I really ate during the day, until I gave them up cold turkey. I felt like someone had sucked the life out of me the first two weeks. But when you drop that initial weight/water or what ever it is the first couple weeks (20lbs for me) its real motivating when you see the scale. But more then the weight loss has been the way I feel free of (mostly) grains and carbs. I used to REQUIRE a nap after work every day, there was just no way around it. After a week or so on Paleo that nap BS was over and my energy was endless. I was amazed.
My general health as a whole is 100 times better. I had a reoccurring/chronic upper respiratory infection that surfaced every other month or so for as long as I can remember. Since I have gone Paleo it hasn’t returned. That in its self is worth the weird looks I get at the store buying 15 pounds of red meat every Saturday. Now that I have been at the Fort for a while and I get to compare work outs the benefits/results are undeniable. Pre BBC “Cindy” was 7 rounds with an assistance band for pull ups, last week I was able to get 12 with out the band, far from the Elites but a huge step in the right direction. This really has been a life style change for me and I plan to stick to it and see just what my body is like under all that jiggle HAHA.
