Monthly Measurements, January 2014

Beginning the month of January my body measurements took a predictably bad turn.  Between excessive eating throughout the month as parties, family gatherings and tasty morsels presented themselves throughout the month I picked up a bit of extra weight and girth.  I also didn’t do any exercise after my marathon early in the month.  All of that trends poorly.  Again, I was hoping to not start any of the diet experiment phases with skewed body chemistry and state, but I think the three months of the elimination diet before the core trials begin will make this not a complete tragedy.
