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
Normally I wouldn't post again this soon, but after my last post I had a mini melt-down. CRAZY. I got that bingey feeling. If you've ever struggled with this you know exactly what I mean. I cannot remember the last time I felt that way. Honestly, I thought I was through all that. But, apparantly no, and I have 900 calories consumed by 7:30 am to show for it. I am not feeling particularly stressed out, or emotional in any way. I'm a little tired, got up early because I was wide awake in bed at 4 am. Really nothing to explain this, sorta random. I am beginning to wonder if I am honestly trying to sabotage myself?!
UGH, so stuffed. Stupid. Looking for silver lining: No junk food in the house, so everything I scarfed was healthy by default and I went straight to Twitter and then here for accountability. HUGE thanks to http://anewroad4me.blogspot.com/ for her humor. She really helped talk me down off the ledge. I have tracked EVERYTHING consumed. No more hiding and lying to myself. The feeling, urge, has passed. Although I didn't ride it out as well as I would have hoped, in the past it would have lasted all day or several days. Choosing to be thankful I am feeling past it already.
I feel a little wind taken out of my sales for regressing. It's almost like if there was some 'trigger' to explain it I'd feel better. But, I'm OK and I'm on my way!
So, how do you recover from a binge? Well, apparantly you blog about it, lol. Then, I am going to continue to track my calories for the rest of the day no matter what. I am going to focus on getting my water in. I am going to make better choices for the rest of the day. Most importantly, I am going to forgive myself and try to learn from it.
