After 6 weeks of workouts and “clean eating” we have made it to the home stretch of the 2014 Lurong Living Paleo Challenge!   Its now time to see how much we have improved through the final “benchmark” workouts along with our body measurements and weight.  There is a total of 600 points possible with the “Performance Improvements” which is more than half of the total points for the 8 weeks of tracking your diet (1,008).  Needless to say these next 2 weeks are going to be what makes or breaks us!
