With summer behind us, fall upon us, and winter approaching quickly; it is time once again to push our performance to the next level by focusing on nutrition. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado I am proud to introduce the 2011 Fall Paleo Challenge. We’ve had great success with these challenges in the past, and it’s time to step-up our level of commitment this year. We are introducing a public point system to hold everyone accountable. The rules of the challenge are as follows:

1 point awarded for going the ENTIRE day eating 100% Paleo
2 points taken away for eating anything not on the Paleo approved list

Bonus points:

1 point/ week for attending 3 or more CFDR classes
1 point for choosing a baseline variable to measure (limit 2 baseline measurements) and writing it on the Fall Paleo Challenge Board
- Examples of baseline measurements:
  - “x” amount of weight
  - “x” amount of body fat (measuring device is in office)
  - “x” amount of inches (tape to measure is in office)
  - “x” amount of time on a benchmark workout performed during “Benchmark Week”
Baselines must be written up on the board no later than October 3^rd.
1 point for improving on baseline measurements at the end of the challenge
5 points for keeping a food journal, picture or written (Journals must be submitted in hard copy. One point earned per week. A CFDR coach must verify Journal at the end of each week during the challenge).

Paleo approved list (list is comprehensive):

-Meat, fish, fowl, game

-Veggies, roots, tubers, bulbs

-Saturated animal fat, coconut, olive oil, olives, avocado

-Fruit, nuts, and seeds (recommended to limit these, but not necessary to earn points)

-Wine, clear liquors, ciders

The Challenge is five weeks long, beginning Monday, October 10th and ending Sunday, November ^13th. Participants, please sign-up on the white board in front of the office. Each participant is responsible for tracking their daily points. We expect everyone to be honest. Points will be tallied and totaled on a weekly basis.

The winner will receive two free private sessions with Coach Rob. These private sessions can be used to work on a specific skill the athlete wants to develop, perform a WOD they like, or choose a WOD you want Coach Rob to perform (With you or by himself. Please be reasonable if you choose this).

Good Luck!
