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 have a crazy hodge podge jumble of a post ready to explode all over the page, lol, sorry. That's where my brain is tonight!
First, 100 push-ups, 200 sit-ups challenge:
How did everyone do this week? I sucked rocks. I did a Jackie Warner workout DVD towards the beginning of the week that I had never done before. I was wrecked. Obviously I had completely adjusted to my usual strength workouts because my muscles were screaming for days. (screaming in a good way of course) So I got exactly 0 of these workouts in. I didn't do any other strength this week and chose to stick to cardio only. I guess next week will be week two, take two?
Second, I am so so so excited for my race coming up the 17th. You will probably be sick of hearing about it soon! I plan to run tomorrow, but then I will be resting more this week so that I am ready to go on race day. My workout log will probably be rather boring this week. Maybe some yoga and jogging or walking. No speed intervals or crazy intense workouts. I have done the over-training and shown up at a race with legs that felt like lead. Not this time!
And last, there may or may not be a weigh in post this week. I am thinking not. It's that time of the month and I just have no urge to see what that evil little square in the bathroom would like to taunt me with. I know I've done great, I also know it's not going to show me that. So I might just skip a weigh in this week. We'll see if I'm feelin it in the morning I guess.
And last, I uh cleaned the house today...which always makes me feel more prepared for the new week. (see, kitchen sink). Plus, Hubby starts his new job Monday (yay!).
So there was a quick trip through my crazy A.D.D. mind of this evening, hope your weekends are going great.
