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
Was it Paleo? Was it Body Revolution? Was I magically just more motivated for 2012?
Honestly, I think the biggest factor was: I didn't quit.
In past years it was starts and stops, big pushes of "Let's do this!" and big jumps off the wagon.
Throughout 2012 I kept making progress. I was diligent in my search for what worked for me and I just kept going.
I'm so thankful for that.
I'm grateful I didn't quit. I begin this, my fourth pregnancy, in a much happier and healthier place because I didn't quit.
It really is that simple.
I get emails almost daily with people asking my advice or wanting to know how I did it, how I lost the weight, how I went from a size 22 to a size 8...
Looking forward to 2013 the most important piece of advice I have for any of you beginning (or continuing) your fitness, weight loss, or healthy living journey is this: Don't ever quit.
Don't quit on you. Don't quit on your goals and dreams.
Just. Don't. Quit.
