paleo day 29

It's the weekend here, so gonna cut my paleo experiment a day short so I can enjoy the binge over the weekend , opposed to when I'm back at work and won't be able to take full advantage. So what were the results?

First the parameters. Paleo-ISH. Meaning I tried to eat clean and natural but still had coffee w/ sugar and milk, and drank milk. No bread, pasta, potatoes, etc. No soda (last week or so I had a few diet drinks, but zero sugar, etc so shouldn't have effected anything). Limited cheese. Ate mostly meats, veggies, nuts, berries and fruit. Drank water and milk.

Start weight: 192.3
Finish weight: 190.8

Start body fat: 11mm (15.9%)
Finish body fat: 9mm (13.8%)

At a glance it seems it was moderately effective. Not a lot of weight, and actually my weight fluctuation went back and fort between 193.x and the low of 190.8. Is it just luck that I'm at my low today, which I was at before but went up again before coming back down? And BF stayed consistently at 11mm until this last week. Hard to say.

About 1/2 way through I had seen no positive results and was sure I would abandon it after my 30 days were over. Now I'll enjoy a relaxed weekend and then make the decision if I continue with the experiment or not. If so, I'm sure I'll modify it somewhat.
