Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
For some reason this week was rather hectic for me. I can't really blame it on one thing, it just was. Very busy, lots going on, but nothing really out of the ordinary. In the craziness of the week I let a few things go. The two main things: I didn't track any of my carbs or calories and I didn't plan ahead for my grocery trip.
Weigh in is officially tomorrow, so we'll see, but I think I may have gained. Not tracking translated into more cheese and peanut butter than I should have eaten for the week. I had intended to track at least one or two days this week just to keep things in check. Well, not paying attention gets me every time! I didn't track any days. I didn't mean to eat more of those foods, but not planning and paying attention, I did. We shall see what the results are tomorrow I guess.
On top of that, I didn't get a paper last Sunday; the day just got away from us. Then, I didn't get my sales and coupons matched before I left. I took off for Super Target with just a list. Compound that with the fact I went with my hubby and two littlest boys and you get: too much money spent.
First we left very early and I forgot to bring something for the boys to eat for breakfast. So we spent $13 at the Starbucks right off the bat, ugh. Then, I was just winging it with my list and wound up spending $130 on groceries. I had my debit card instead of cash (mistake number 2 million for that trip, lol). So the day's total was $143 and I only meant to spend $100. Yeesh. The little bit of time it would have taken to plan ahead cost me $43.
So, lack of organization this week has bitten me in the butt several times. Planning ahead and taking the time to do things like tracking calories/carbs saves me so much; I really have to make time for it. I guess weeks like this are there to remind me of that!
See you tomorrow for weigh in, pics, and a review on those nifty little Hungry Girl Recipe Cards. Have a great Saturday!
