Day 8 of the Paleo Challenge!

"If we're not willing to settle for junk living, we certainly shouldn't settle for junk food."
-Sally Edwards

Above: What do you pack your children for their lunch at school? Take some advice from me, do like Rome does! Nice job supermom!
Today's WOD:
A. 6 sets of:
Halting Clean Deadlift + Hang Clean
Rest 2-minutes

B. 8 rounds for max reps:
20 seconds of Hang Power Clean (115/75 lbs.)
Rest 10 seconds
20 seconds of Push Press (115/75 lbs.)
Rest 10 seconds

Paleo Challenge fact of the day: stay away from "gluten-free" foods!
According to Dr. William Davis, author of the book Wheat Belly, "However, many gluten-free foods are made by replacing wheat flour with cornstarch, rice starch, potato starch, or tapioca starch (starch extracted from the root of the cassava plant). This is especially hazardous for anybody looking to drop twenty, thirty, or more pounds, since gluten-free foods, though they do not trigger the immune or neurological response of wheat gluten, still trigger the glucose-insulin response that causes you to gain weight."
