You asked for it, you got it!  The 90-day Paleo Challenge starts this Monday. If you plan to accept this challenge, be sure to sign up on the whiteboard. For those of you ready to dismiss this as a weight-loss competition, please don’t.  The Paleo Challenge is not always about losing weight – it’s about getting out of your comfort zone, changing your habits for the better, and improving your performance.
Here's the skinny:

• We will take "before" measurements, weight, body fat %, and photos (for our eyes only; these will not be posted anywhere) during the official "weigh-in" days.  You must sign-up on the whiteboard for a specific time to do this on Saturday, 2/2 or Monday, 2/4.
• This 90-day Paleo Challenge will kick off Monday, February 4 and end Saturday, May 4.
• The buy-in is $40/person.  Cash only - pay during your weigh-in.
• During the 90-day challenge you are expected to eat 100% Paleo.  This means eating lean meats, fresh veggies, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and NO SUGAR.  Avoid grains (including bread, pasta, noodles), beans (including string beans, kidney beans, lentils, peanuts, peas), potatoes, dairy products, alcohol, and of course SUGAR.
• We will give you a printed food journal to use during your challenge; you are required to log every single thing you eat during the 90-day challenge.  We will spot check and ask you to share this information from time to time, so be prepared.
• We will post recipe ideas and helpful hints along the way...and we're always here to answer questions and provide whatever support you need.
• At the end of 90 days, the person with the most positive change in body composition (not specifically weight loss) will win the pot of money...so the more people who participate, the higher the cash prize at the end.
• We will of course have separate male & female categories.
• You must sign up before 7 p.m. this Friday to let us know you want to participate.
• NO LATE ENTRIES will be accepted.
• Motivated?  Ready to win big?  Clean out that pantry and hit the Farmer's market this weekend!
  

I encourage each of you to do this...not to lose weight; not to stress out about food; and not to compete with each other...but to become a better version of yourself.  YOU WILL IMPROVE if you accept this challenge!
