30 Day Challenge

Paleo Challenge: Start Monday April 18 - End Sunday May 15 (with a paleo cookout at Jen White's house!)

Ok, here are the rules. 
Rule 1: Don't sign up if you are not ready for this!
Rule 2: This is all on the honor system - be honest (it's for your own good).
Rule 3: Exclusions:
**Grains (wheat, corn, rice, oats, quinoa, millet, etc)
**Sugar (honey, agave, maple syrup, chocolate (over 73% dark is ok), etc)
**Dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese)
**Legumes (beans, peas, peanuts, soybeans, lentils)
**Starchy Tubers (potatoes of all sorts, sweet potatoes only 1 x week)
**Oils (only oils allowed - olive oil, coconut oil) watch out for those condiments!
Rule 4: Own rule inclusion
**Alcohol - make a goal for alcohol consumption and make a punishment for it
i.e. my goal is to only have 1 glass of red wine per week, any drink over that will cost me 50 burpees!
i.e. maybe the goal is 300 calories per week and every calorie over is 1 burpee...
**Artificial sweetner (diet coke, sugarfree gum, etc) make a goal and a punishment
i.e. my goal is to have NONE and if i have any, it will be 50 burpees per item!
i.e. marissa's goal may be to chew gum 2 x per day.  Anything over will cost 10 burpees!
If you don't want to set a goal and punishment for these things, that's ok...I guess.
Rule 5: Log all your bad foods (or just log everything you eat if you can handle that)

Punishment:  1 burpee and 5cents for every 10 calories of non-paleo food accumulated til the end

Let's direct all questions to Club806 on Facebook - can also share recipes and complaints!

Good Luck!  We can do this!

APRIL

ITS APRIL!  Challenge yourself to be perfect this month.  Also, make it your goal to convert a friend, family member, or co-worker to paleo!  Lets work together to change ourselves and each other.  Good luck.

Paleo seminars coming soon!  Are you interested in learning more about yourself and what you eat?  Let's start getting together to talk about the basics of food and nutrition.  I want to start a paleo lecture series.  Leave comments with your thoughts (ideas, times, etc).

Who is up for a Paleo challenge?  Let's spend the month of March seeing how "good" we can adhere to the Paleo lifestyle.  Log any complication you come across.  Also, log any changes you notice after a couple weeks of being grain free (i.e. mood, weight, sleep, hunger, pain, etc).  I know I'm going to be a bit "bad" during spring break when my girlfriend gets to town.  This is ok, because that's life - but other than that I'm in for the challenge!  Who is brave enough to join me?

Going to begin a lecture series starting in March.  Waiting to see what kind of response we can get in terms of attendance.  Would like to shoot for later in the evening Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday.  If you have any requests for times or topics just let me know.

So yesterday was the first day of actual 1/2 marathon training.  Ran 5 x 200 on 2.25 minutes.  Almost forgot how much sprinting can utilize every muscle in your body.  Even my ribs are sore!  Feels great though to get back outside.  Thinking we're gonna be in the best shape of our lives in a few weeks.
