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
That is what December 2010 will be remembered as.
Before you start lecturing me about 1 to 2 pounds a week, yada yada. Please hear my heart on this.
I set a goal of ringing in the New Year in the 160's. Then proceeded to mess around and go from 184 to 187 and now back to 184 since then. I have a habit of doing this in my life and I have had enough.
I didn't run my half marathon. I didn't enter to win a Fitbloggin ticket. I haven't finished my book. I sit right now at about the same weight I was last year this time. I get right up to the line where I can see success and good things and I fold. I've always prided myself in life as being someone who DOES what she says she is going to do. But is that true? Sure I've got excuses, and reasons (excuses in disguise), but the fact is: I'm afraid.
Fear is STILL holding me back. ENOUGH!
I made that goal and come hell or high water I am going to see it through. Period.
This is not about starvation or crazy antics. This is about work. I will DO THE WORK. There are 4.5 weeks in December. To lose 14.5 pounds I need to lose roughly 3 pounds a week. I've done it before. I know what it takes and I am committed...holidays or no holidays to REACH THIS GOAL.
I am digging in, I'm pulling out all the stops, I am ditching the excuses, I am making myself a priority, I am feeling the fear and doing it anyway, I am going to do the work, I am responsible.
I need this success like nothing I've needed in my life before.

ReplyDeleteAwesome! You can do this!
ReplyDeleteResponsible... I love that word, I better as I named my blog after it.
ReplyDeleteBehind you all the way. Not that I am going to pick up those pounds as you drop them, no way.
I'm totally in with you!! I'm trying to start the new year under 200-I dont' even care if it's 199.5 because that too is under 200.
ReplyDeleteI'm shooting for 10 pounds this month. I plan to lose 10 pounds by climbing out of the non-exercise suckhole I've been in. WE CAN DO IT!
ReplyDeleteGo girl that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou've got this!
ReplyDeleteWow! You go girl! :)
ReplyDelete"Fear is STILL holding me back. ENOUGH!"
ReplyDeleteYes...fear is holding you back. And fear will only get you so far. It's not a sustainable motivator. Weight you lose in fear is destine to reappear!
So take it easy, take the pressure off and you may just be amazed!
You got this!! Good luck! I'm here cheering you on!
