Friday – 1.21.11

I have heard great feedback from many members about  their success within the first week of the paleo challenge.   That is great news and I hope others are beginning to feel the benefits of clean eating.  One meal that some seam to be hitting a “writer’s block” on is breakfast.  Below I have 3 recipes that make for great breakfasts, or any meal of the day for that matter.  Continue down the paleo path  and try to think outside the box!  If anyone has found other paleo breakfast ideas that have worked for them please share in the comments, we would love to hear!

1 Scoop Hemp or Egg protein

Today’s Workout:
“The Bear”
30 Bears for time
1 “Bear” is a Squat-Clean-Thruster straight into a back squat to a push-press off the back then bring the bar back to the ground without dropping it.  Confused? Yeah, me too.  You’ll just have to come to class and see it done in person to really get a good pic of what “the bear” is all about.
