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
Weighed in this morning at 179. That is a half a pound down for the week. Eh. I got what I put into it this week for sure.
After contemplating yesterday's post I have come to the conclusion that I am not doing everything I could be to reach my goals. I was very gung ho at the beginning of the year, but have fizzled slightly the last two weeks. I have only tracked my food a couple of days during the last two weeks and my workouts the last week have been less than stellar.
Just trying to be real with myself, and all of you, I've gotten lazy! Well, it was a nice little break, but enough is enough. I have goals I want to reach. Lazy is not going to get me there.
So, for the next week i will:
Have a great Sunday!

So, for the next week i will:
- Track calories every single day (hold me to that!)
- Work out 5 days
- Keep protein up because it helps me not feel ravenous; keep carbs lower, but allow a few things I haven't been to avoid feeling so deprived.
- Drink my water! (I am terrible at this)
Have a great Sunday!
OK, I'm new to the weight loss blogosphere, but I'm in it with you. Track calories; five days of workouts; more protein; more water (terrible at that, too).
ReplyDeleteThanks for a succinct review of the basics. Have a good week!
You mean lazy doesn't work? Darn!! Great job on losing a half a pound. It all adds up. I think it's awesome that you didn't gain when you haven't been doing everything you could be. That shows that you have changed a lot of your past behaviors that contributed to weight gain. Good for you :)
ReplyDeleteI weigh in tomorrow and I think it'll be a loss but it would have been more had I not had two desserts, 3 bags of chips from the vending machine, and exercised more than twice this week.
ReplyDeleteThe pound is still a great loss.
I try to make sure I have protein and fiber at every meal and for my snacks. That helps me.
It can be so slow to lose weight the healthy way--the way to make it last. I think you're doing great!! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYou are ahead of me! I am actually up a bit this week despite clean eating and exercising every day. Sigh. But I am not quitting, no I am not.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try to eat more veggies and, like you, am working on my water intake.
Hopefully in another week we will both have more success to report:)
Good luck on meeting your goals next week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Genie, good luck!
ReplyDeleteYes, Lisa, it's a good sign that things are sticking this time around.
Adrienne, ah, fiber, always forget to make sure I get enough of that too.
Thanks Abby.
WT, Go you for not quitting!
Thanks John.
Girl, I'm right there with you! We'll keep eachother accountable, because the honeymoon is definitely OVER!!! I think the weather warming up (although that seems as if it'll never happen at the moment) will give us a new burst of inspiration, but in the meantime we'll keep eachother motivated. I'm glad you haven't moved to lazytown, although I think I've vacationed there recently, hehe!! Tomorrow is a brand new week and a fresh start! We can do this!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, thanks Julie. I am hoping for warm weather, but in CO it may be a while. Yes, lazytown was fun briefly, but I'm over it.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!! I think you are doing wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to keep that fire burning but we should!
ReplyDeleteYou're great to give yourself a check up. I think that's what is going to point you down to the goal and long term maintenance. Keep up the hard work.
ReplyDeleteIf I have a gain this week I will not be at all surprised, I've really hit a funk but I'm trying to snap out of it.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to post your calories here or on twitter? When I "was" counting I tried doing that, something I need to start doing again.
Hope you've had a good weekend.
Keeping the protein up really really helps me as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments and support everyone!
ReplyDeleteSteve! (slap,slap) snap outta it! LOL. Funks come and go, it's all good. I think I will post my calories, not sure where yet.
