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
I didn't want to weigh this morning, then after I weighed I didn't want to post.
I'm still in this 175 Plateau. Circling around back and forth. Up half a pound, down half a pound. Up a pound, down a pound. I've been feeling beyond frustrated with it.
But then, I made a choice. I decided I am going to focus on the positive. Success is not in that scale. Success is in the choices I make day in, day out, every day.
This last week I stuck with my #30days2ahabit and rocked my workouts. The only day I missed was Sunday. I thought about re-starting the 30 days, but decided not to unless I miss another day. I did level 3 of Jillian's new Killer Buns & Thigh DVD. Oh. My. It is killer. I did every move and even the advanced versions of most. I'm crazy sore, but I'm crazy proud. I'm not sure if I've ever done a Jillian level 3 before.
My eating was just kind of meh. I didn't make bad food choices, but overall ate more than I needed to. Snacking being my main issue.
Ok, to this week's numbers:

Ok, to this week's numbers:
Weight 174.5 (down half a pound from last week)
Waist 31.5 (same)
Right Thigh 20 (same)
Right Calf 13.75 (down .25)
Right Arm 11.75 (same)
Hips 40.5 (same)
This week I am going to add laying out my workout clothes, shoes, water, and choosing my workout the night before to #30days2ahabit. It makes working out so much easier when everything is ready to go.
How has your week been?
Good for you for working out! Your body really likes 175! Maybe that's a good weight for you. 175 and muscles....not bad at all. :)
ReplyDeleteI use Fitday's free account to track my food and ratios. I have been doing lower calories and 50% protein on the weekdays and my body fat and weight are really responding. I am on my 4th or 5th week of it and this week's numbers are blowing me away! I was stuck at the same weight for the longest time too! I was inspired by a Muscle & Body article that showcased 12 women all with different body types. Then it gave carb/fat/protein ratios and caloric daily goals. I am following that loosely (I do my own workouts). The article's 3 month results were amazing! I don't endorse any specific diet or program just do my own thing but this 50% protein thing is totally working for my stubborn plateau! It sounds like you are getting stronger! Keep after it Kerri! You can break through it! ;)

Thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteDiva, I've actually been noticing my protein has been low-ish for me. Definitely need to watch that.
Kerri, I am sorry. It is so frustrating when bodies just won't behave like we want them to! Also, CONGRATS on your amazing workout schedule this week! :)
