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 cannot believe it's been 6 weeks. The time has zipped by.
Looking back I'm happy at how I handled the first 6 weeks postpartum. I rested, I healed, I was lightly active as I was able. I listened to my body. I was gentle with my sleep deprived self.
Other than the initial post-birth weight loss the first 2 weeks I didn't lose any weight. I'm totally good with that.
Stats this week:
Weight: 196
Bust: 44 1/2
Waist: 37
Hips: 44
Clothing Size: 13/14
Bust: 44 1/2
Waist: 37
Hips: 44
Clothing Size: 13/14
I am super excited to be at the 6 week mark. Last night I had hubby drag this out for me:
#WorkoutDVDHoarder |
We were painting and moving things around during my last trimester so I had packed up most of my fitness DVDs. I couldn't do most of them anyway. So. Danged. Excited. To rip into them again.
BUT, I need to take it slow. I know my fitness is not what it was pre-pregnancy. This week will be spent trying out workouts, modifying where needed, and finding out where my fitness level is.
I had planned to jump straight into a program at 6 weeks, but decided that it would be a wise choice to figure out where I'm at first. My cardio capacity and strength feel non-existent right now!
Goals this week:
- Track in My Fitness Pal Monday through Friday.
- Do workout DVDs 3 to 4 days (modifying as needed of course).
- Test out running, probably with run/walk intervals, 1 day.
- Yoga 1 day.
- 21 Day Sugar Detox!
