We (Daddy+Mommy) started the Lurong Living Paleo Challenge this week. It's a challenge where we can earn points by our diet, performance in WODs, goal-setting, etc. So adult lunches will be Paleo, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, and dairy free. I will miss my rice and soy sauce, but it's only 8 weeks! I'm looking forward to the discipline and trying out new recipes in the next 8 weeks.  Wish us luck!
