#3 - The Raw Statistics Prior to the Experiment

The most important thing is to have accurate data gathered before starting something like this, especially when comparing raw numbers before, after and then after an extended period of time. These numbers may or may not mean much to you, but any further research into what they are, why they are important and what certain levels could mean could definitely give you a baseline on how to interpret them. Most people who are interested in the subject are probably already well-aware what they might mean.

Statistics as of 5:30 PM on 08/08/2010:

Age: 26
Height: 5'7
Weight: 142.6 lbs
Waist: 32.4 inches
Midsection: 32.4 inches
Blood Sugar (fasting): 85 mg/dL
Blood Pressure: 107/60
Pulse (resting): 50 BPM

The morning of 08/08/2010, I ran a total of 3.1 miles (5K) in 28 minutes. I'd say this would be a typical pace for me, give or take a minute or so. Just threw that out there for comparison sake as we move forward.
