It's official. The 60-day LuRong Paleo Challenge has begun! By nature, I'm highly competitive. So when my Crossfit coach said the word "challenge", I was sold. I went home and impulsively signed up. Only after signing up did I realize what I signed up for...
I thought it was simply 60 days, paleo, got it. Well it is... but there's more. They have specific workouts to be completed within a certain amount of weeks and it needs to be logged by your Crossfit coach. They sounded great...in theory. I looked at the workouts on Sunday and they are brutal!!
Here they are:
WOD #1 (with an 18 minute time cap)
21-18-15-12-9-6-3
Wall balls
Deadlifts
Box Jumps
WOD #2 (12 min time cap)
100 Burpees
100 Kettlebell Swings
WOD #3 (5 min time cap)
Descending Ladder Hang Power Cleans
Ascending Ladder of Shuttle Sprints
Brutal right?! I'll let you know more about them as I go through them.
Another part of the challenge is logging your food. There is nothing fancy about the diet, simply strict paleo. (But not as strict at the Whole-30) The main thing here for me, is food prep. I really need to dedicate Sunday to prepping for the week. This week I made a delicious shepherd's pie that I adapted from Rachael Ray's recipe. It was even more delicious as leftovers with an egg on top!
A little summer squash, peppers and onions
Mashed sweet potatoes
Mix it all together.
Bake it.
Enjoy!
Do you have any paleo recipes that you swear by? Any easy weeknight meals? I'd love to hear them.
