  why are peas not allowed? They’re peas….
- Lindsey on October 10, 2013 at 11:34 am
  
  The paleo thinking on peas and legumes listed on the sheet is that they have anti-nutrients that outweigh the benefits.
Jen on October 10, 2013 at 11:20 am

Peas are a legume. Excited to have you on board Brittany!
- Brittany JR on October 10, 2013 at 11:40 am
  
  Oh I’m excited too!! But I love peas lol

  For mobility, does walking around with a heavy kettlebell to help with grip strength count? I’ve been trying to improve on that to help with DL/CL

- Jon on October 11, 2013 at 9:26 am
  
  My kids like cold peas. I don’t get that one but they go at them like candy.
- Brittany JR on October 11, 2013 at 9:29 am
  
  hahaha they could be going at worse things. why aren’t peas Paleo?

Jodi on October 11, 2013 at 10:05 am

I still can’t believe using end up for this!!! 4 weeks without Nestea and pizza??? Oh gosh!
Jodi on October 11, 2013 at 10:48 am

“using end”? Really auto correct? I signed…it should say, I signed.
- Jon on October 11, 2013 at 11:33 am
  
  Yah frig off auto correct. friggin auto correct stupid…auto correct is stupid.
Cory on October 11, 2013 at 5:11 pm

I want Troy Dixon on my team. I’ll be on him like an AA sponsor!!
- Troy on October 14, 2013 at 12:11 pm
  
  Hey Cory guess who is on your team!
- Cory on October 14, 2013 at 9:22 pm
  
  call me if you get tempted!
Troy on October 12, 2013 at 1:00 am

Bread…and Cheese…I miss you already.
Erika on October 12, 2013 at 12:53 pm

I’m in as well! I just haven’t been In to sign the sheet…this will truly be a paleo “challenge” but I think it’s do-able!
Brittany JR on October 12, 2013 at 5:18 pm

Question…I’m going to be in PEI next weekend. If I do a WOD (the one of the day if possible) do I get a point for that?? It’s not technically in the gym BUT it’s a WOD.
- Lindsey on October 12, 2013 at 5:39 pm
  
  You could also look up a CF gym in PEI and drop in.
- Brittany JR on October 12, 2013 at 7:17 pm
  
  I love that idea but I’ll be with my mom who doesn’t crossfit.
Janice on October 14, 2013 at 8:22 am

There’s a great group on FB that I follow that shares some really great paleo recipes, search paleOMG, it’s good. If you’re on Pinterest, they have tons of recipes as well! Good luck with this guys!
- Jon on October 15, 2013 at 8:48 am
  
  Hey Janice, That girl is awesome! Jen and I use that site all the time…she’s a wicked dancer too!
Jesse on October 14, 2013 at 1:44 pm

am I reading this correctly? I CAN have red wine?!
Anna on October 14, 2013 at 2:49 pm

Red wine = minus 1 point/serving
All other alcohol = minus 4 points/serving
- Jesse on October 14, 2013 at 8:02 pm
  
  ah, now I understand, Thanks Anna!
  
  That leads to my next question…what if the alcohol is cooked out? Like in a sauce/marinade…?
- Brittany JR on October 14, 2013 at 9:14 pm
  
  I think that’s okay but I’d ask a coach lol I know red wine even vinegar to cook with is ok.
Erika on October 14, 2013 at 3:52 pm

Jesse, you are not on my team…soooo GO FOR IT! 😉 Red wine away!!
- Jesse on October 14, 2013 at 8:04 pm
  
  How do you know who is on your team miss?
- Jon on October 15, 2013 at 8:53 am
  
  Did you get the email I sent out last night?
- Jesse on October 15, 2013 at 4:45 pm
  
  I saw it this morning, THANKS!
Anna on October 14, 2013 at 8:29 pm

That’s a question for the experts I think! I don’t know who’s team I’m on either. Expect we’ll find out next time we’re at the gym.
Lindsey on October 15, 2013 at 12:41 pm

It’s official, Team Lindsey, Michelle, Jackie, Ashlee & Steve has become “The Croods.” Thanks for the name, Michelle! Let the caveman eating begin 🙂
- Jon on October 15, 2013 at 2:19 pm
  
  Cool! What’s it mean?
- Lindsey on October 15, 2013 at 2:24 pm
  
  You’ll have to watch the movie to find out! Georgia & Elliot would love it, it’s one of Madi’s favourites.
- Jon on October 15, 2013 at 3:24 pm
  
  just googled it…nice!
Jon on October 15, 2013 at 4:29 pm

We’ve been named the Billy Jon’s cause apparently my team is full of Michael Jackson fans. Who’d of thought?
Brittany JR on October 15, 2013 at 5:06 pm

I am surrounded by men so who knows what they will come up with lol I’ll go with anything.

I do have a question though: If we sent Jen a recipe or two previously when she asked for them….can we still use those (I have 2) since technically they’re still paleo and technically they can be shared?
Erika on October 15, 2013 at 7:05 pm

Billie has an IE not Y, geeeeeesh! The Bilie Jons got this in the bag! 😉
- Brittany JR on October 15, 2013 at 7:44 pm
  
  No way Erica…the quiet ones always take the race 🙂
Erika on October 15, 2013 at 7:06 pm

Ugh Billie Jons, now I can’t type. Sugar withdrawals :p
- Jodi on October 15, 2013 at 10:40 pm
  
  I’m also feeling sugar withdrawals.
- Brittany JR on October 16, 2013 at 9:36 am
  
  I am assuming me too since I use to do the whole munchy thing with sugar. Now I just eat fruit or almonds…totally not the same effect as a box of girl guides/
Kimberlee on October 16, 2013 at 9:59 pm

Team Jen, Jesse, Brett and I will now be known as
PowerClean eating
Jen on October 17, 2013 at 10:20 am

I cannot believe everyone’s enthusiasm!!! Proud smiles all around here! Keep up the good work. Boat loads of recipes coming in!
- Brittany JR on October 17, 2013 at 11:10 am
  
  I find the challenge to find new recipes or manipulate bad recipes to be Paleo friendly fun. It’s a challenge in itself. I’ve become the cook in the house for most meals (which sucks cause that’s less for me lol). I already have all 30 recipes planned out 🙂 Just need to type them up!!
Paul V on October 17, 2013 at 8:48 pm

Can someone tell me if there is a breakfast bar or cereal bar or cookies or anything I can buy on this diet and eat?
- Brittany JR on October 17, 2013 at 9:17 pm
  
  The “Apple Lara Bar” works in a pinch. WHy don’t you make egg pucks with some cooked sausage in them. I make 6 at a time and eat two at a time…microwave for a minute then inhale in one more 🙂 25mintes on 325F
Erika on October 17, 2013 at 9:01 pm

Paul, with no honey it’s hard, but I have some tricks up my sleeve – I could make you a paleo care kit… Buuuut you are my competition… Certain Larabars are great and you can get them in the organic section of Superstore, but more sweet than carb-y. Def try some coconut flour pancakes with fruit topping, there are lots of biscuit recipes etc you can make but everything takes a little prep 😉
Paul V on October 17, 2013 at 9:32 pm

I just wanna buy it and eat it. When I am on night shifts there is not a lot of time for prep work lol
- Brittany JR on October 17, 2013 at 10:26 pm
  
  Get your little lady to make them lol
Brittany JR on October 18, 2013 at 8:50 am

Hey Jen and Jon are there are recipe categories you are lacking??
