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 switched my weigh in day to Wednesday to match up with weeks of ChaLean Extreme.
Last Wednesday I was 173. Which was up a half pound from my previous weigh in. Hrrm.
This morning I weigh 174. Which is up another pound. Double hrrrm.
My initial reaction is to say it's probably just water weight from my new workout and the focus on strength training and lifting heavier weights.
But upon perusing through my calorie log for the last two weeks, (That's a fancy name for the little tablet in the kitchen I scratched down my calories on) I see that I had one day at 1800, several at 1600, and only a few at 1300 or 1400 where I aim to be.
While I wouldn't have thought those numbers would equate to a gain, who knows? But I do know that I have been stagnant for about 3 weeks with my weight loss. Time to shake things up!
SO...as I just had to post on nomorebacon.com that I am up a pound for the 6 week challenge...time to get my eating back in line. Going to shoot for 1300ish every day for the next week.
Wednesdays are normally my rest day, but I just jumped in with both feet for another #amerryworkoutpledge (that is the hashtag we use to tweet about it). Every comment left on Steve's post here: http://www.265andfalling.com/2010/04/28/amerryworkoutpledge-is-back/ will add 30 seconds to my (and everyone else participating) time on the stationary bike today. Then I will be tweeting during my workout, at 2:30 mountain time. Was so much fun last time, can't wait!

I know that when I am "up-ing" my exercise or changing things up, that I notice either a gain or no loss on the scale. Typically it has been due to either not consuming enough calories, or just things are a shiftin' in my own body. I am sure that it will all even out in the end!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cassie, I am hoping for a good loss next week!
ReplyDeleteI can't do it when ya'll are, but I'm gonna do it! I need to start raising my game again.
ReplyDeleteYay Danielle, glad you're in!
ReplyDeleteLosing weight is such a battle, especially when you hit those awful plateaus! Here's an article that I used to help me boost my metabolism: http://www.fitandfabliving.com/index.php/overall-fitness/2509-how-to-burn-more-calories-tips-and-tricks-to-keep-your-metabolism-going.html
ReplyDeleteJust stick with it and I'm sure you'll see movement in the direction you want.
ReplyDelete110 minutes of cardio is sure to get 'er done.
ReplyDeleteKeep pressing play and staying aware of your eating patterns. The Lean phase is where you should see weight loss with Chalean Extreme. Remember, you are building muscle. So, you are probably replacing fat tissue with muscle tissue at this point. While fat is bulky, muscle is heavier inch for inch. Increased muscle means increased calories burned - yeah! Try not to be overly concerned with little to no weight loss from week to week. Your body is a work in progress. Did you know that when muscle tissue is broken down that your body surrounds the tissue with water to aide in its healing? That means as you're tearing down muscle fibers, your body is probably holding a little water as well. Sounds like you're doing a great job. Keep pushing play. Julie
