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. Weigh 175.5 again. Same as last week. I know exactly why too. At least 3 days this week I was too 'busy' to track my calories on Sparkpeople. I tracked them loosely in my head, but obviously that didn't work out so well! That's OK, this is a lifetime journey. Maintaining my weight for a week is nothing to get depressed about.
My 5k is coming up in 3 weeks! Yay! I have decided to kick things in gear a little bit for the next 3 weeks. I am going to push a little harder in my weight loss efforts. Generally a pound a week or so is great, but less weight on me means faster running! I have huge goals for that 5k and I want to do everything I can to reach them.
My workouts will be more intense and my calorie counting more diligent. I will pay closer attention to my nutrition and water intake. Just a little push in my efforts. I really feel up to it and am excited.
I have learned so much 'this time around'. I no longer feel the need to be crazy intense all the time, only to crash and burn in a month or two. I have found out that I can't always be crazy in my working out. I am a mom, I have other things to do. But it doesn't have to be all or nothing! I can't always find the time to be marathon training or working out 2 hours a day. But once in a while is mentally good for me, I enjoy the intensity. I just have to pick and choose when I can go all out and when I have to roll with the punches of my life and be content with 30 minute workouts. For me personally it works out to balance.
So here's to a bangin' 3 weeks! Woo!

Bangin' attitude, Kat! 5k, lookout! Here she comes!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great attitude. I have never run any sort of race but really want to get in shape so I am thinking I must run and what an intense challenge!
ReplyDeleteWooT! Go Kat! You are so inspiring and charged. I hope you get everything out of it that you put into it!
ReplyDeleteWoot! You are so right- it's not ALL or NOTHING. IT's step by step, here a little, and there a little. That's how it is with weight loss, is it not? We all want to lose 2+ pounds a week, and some even get frustrated if it's not consecutively like that. But .5 here, .7 there, 1.3 the next week...it will all add up and we will still get to goal...so who cares if it's not a certain amount within a certain time. I feel like I'm rambling. Point is- good job. You're doing awesome and you'll get to goal!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
