* The Paleo Challenge is officially over. You need to weight in, ideally at the same time and in the same clothes you wore before. We will retest your benchmark workout on Monday 3/10. Results must be filled in by Tuesday, 3/11 @ 8 AM. After that time the spreadsheet will be locked if you don’t have your scores in than you are out of luck. Winners will be announced on Wednesday’s daily blog post (and if you want your winning’s you must pose for a photo op first :-).
