flux CrossFit Paleo Challenge #3 AKA Pudge Reduction!

The time has come for our next paleo challenge! We've changed up the parameters this time. Here's the scoop ...

flux CrossFit Paleo Challenge #4
Begins Tuesday, February 15th
Duration: 12 weeks

1. Food - paleo/ primal/ Weston A. Price. Try to think about where your meat is coming from - try to buy grass-fed pastured meats, raw dairy.

This time around we're also counting points for the cheats which means any kind of sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc. ("paleo treats" or not) counts as a point every time. The goal is to keep a low score here! Honour system of course! Alcohol does raise your blood sugar levels so it also counts as a cheat.

2. Performance - the final WOD (at 3 different levels) will be held during the first week of May! In the CrossFit spirit the WOD will be a surprise - announced on Sunday, May 1st. The WOD will contain at least one monostructural cardio, a weight lifting movement and a gymnastic movement. The workouts will be designed in such a way that anyone can participate.

3. Participation on the Blog (recipes, articles, support, and general comments on your performance)


4. Measurements - for those athletes whose goal is pudge reduction, we are including measurements. For those whose goal is to gain weight or not lose weight, we will count more on your performance scores.

5. Supporting your fellow athletes!

Prizes include: a pair of vibrums, a massage from Heidi, gift certificate from Cool Springs Ranch, gift certificate for a night out and much more!

6. Please sign up here if you plan on taking part.

    Ok, I'm in too. You may have to tie us down when the wind blows - isn't it the pudge that keeps our feet on the ground? (Oh I forgot - that is why you tie tires to us when we work out!!)

    I know that paleo diet is not about measuring and counting calories, but as a self-admitted carb junky, I do need to keep track of how much I'm eating.

    I have a spreadsheet that helps keep track of protein, carbs, and fat as a % of my daily caloric needs. Let me know if you're interested in how it works, I'll send it to you. Email me at houterbridge@regina.ymca.ca

    OK. Public confession time. I couldn't resist the fruit crumble at lunch yesterday. One demerit point for me. Oh, and then there were the salmon crepes. OK, one more point. Two for two days isn't too bad! I will improve!

    Hey Gwen!Thanx for asking how we're doing. I didn't start until the 16th, so I'm behind by a day...but I've done very well the past few days. It might have been easier for me because I've had a gross cold and cough since Monday, but having said that, I usually turn to sugar when I feel crappy. Chocolate soothes the throat, you know, lol.

    So, I've been tracking carbs, protein and fat grams per day. The biggest success for me so far is averaging only about 100g of carbs per day - with my regular diet I'm at about 300 a day.

    wow, Helen that's GREAT!!! I too have had a rotten cold...8 weeks today, actually so my appetite hasn't been great - although I have had a few ryecrisp crackers, a piece of garlic bread and a glass of wine - so far I am up to 4 points...yikes! I need some "cracker or chip" recipes, folks!!! please and thanks!
