Before/Current (pics)
I'm not quite where I want to be yet, but I'm definitely closer than I've ever been. It's not an amazing transformation or anything, but I think there's definitely an improvement - please just disregard the terrible chest hair and moob in the before pic :S) My story (briefly), I've been Primal (Paleo) for over a year now,…
