Can you believe I did this? All by myself??

For those of you that know me you know this is WAY OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE!!  But...this is NOT about me, it's about the girls (+Chet) becoming accountable.  What the heck does that mean?? You see we started our 30 Paleo Challenge today and there are 4 ladies (+Chet) that are participating.  This is the first time we are doing this so to help give them a little push I will be chronicling their progress and offering them some inspiration to move forward.  Let me introduce them to you.  
Oh yeah, please feel free to comment and offer words of encouragement and support.  Easy recipes are always great too!

RACHEL 
She's our fiery little redhead! She will take on this challenge with a vengeance and god only knows what she'll do if you get in her way!  I expect her to not only succeed but exceed all expectations.

JULES
Right now Jules is still trying to recover from the fact that I could actually get this far in a blog.....but she's also the front runner in this Paleo Challenge. She has done this before and knows what to expect.  It will be fun to watch her through the next 30 days.  I warned you all!

JOJO
Hmmmmm this one scares me a little.  I think we may have unleashed the beast of Jojo!!  She actually took off of work to cook, prepare and shop for the next 30 days.  I'm a little scared!  Look out girls (+Chet) here comes Jojo!!

TORP
AKA Deb, the den mother, our resident medical expert, grandma, and participant.  She's got her paleo scones, paleo crackers, paleo irish soda bread, paleo muffins so she is READY!!  Come on Torp you can win this...I can feeeeel it.

+CHET
Now I know what you're thinking...what's a dude doing at The Purple Garage?  Well, he's not just any dude he's deemed himself, "The Paleo Prince".  He thinks he's going to walk away with this competition!!  He's told me outright, "I WILL WIN!" The only response I have is, keep your words soft and sweet just in case you have to eat them!!

Today at 4:00 we will be doing our pre-test wod (workout of the day).  We will be using a favorite of mine called "Helen".  Helen consists of 3 RFT (rounds for time) of the following:
                                      400 run
                                      21 KB swings
                                      12 Pulls
This will be our benchmark wod.  We will retest in 30 days to see the progress made.  +Chet has already done his benchmark wod.  See he trains at 6:00 in the morning with my husband.  He did 13:04.  Let's just see how the "Paleo Prince" improves.

So what's next?  Stop laughing Jules because I am going to try to take some pictures with my Iphone, download them (Jules just fell off her chair) and post them (hopefully before the challenge is over).  IF any of the ladies give me permission (+Chet doesn't count) I will post their pretest times, weights, etc so you all can follow along.  Feel free to join us!!

OK Jules get off the floor.  I'm signing off for today.  I am going to try to post each and every day.  I will leave you with a quote from Wayne Gretsky:
