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 just found out there is gong to be a big family BBQ for my mom's side of the family April 17th.
You know the kind...lots of family I haven't seen forever...and the last time I saw many of them I was...uh, fat.
So, I'm on fire to stay committed the next few months. Even more than I was before! (And I've been pretty fired up this year.) How awesome will I feel showing up all smokin' hot? Oh, did I type that out loud?!
OK, so maybe that's not the best attitude to have, but I say: so what?!
So what if it lights a little extra fire under me?
So what if I'd revel in the compliments and jaw-drops?
Heck, motivation comes from all sources, and right now, I'm going with it!
No, we shouldn't wait until some reunion or wedding to 'start' our healthy living quest. But I see nothing wrong in embracing this as extra motivation along the way.
What do you think? Do special events spur you on more? And...do you suppose I can get away with wearing my marathon medal....what? Too much?

Amen girl. Whatever it takes. I love the part about wearing your medal lol
ReplyDeleteThey definitely do. Its so hard to stay motivated sometimes, you have to take the motivation where you can get it. Even if it does sound vain, so what.
ReplyDeletePlus you'll feel so good when everyone is complimenting you on your effort!
Hmmm,How awesome will you feel showing up all smokin' hot? Oh Kerri I think that is a perfectly fine attitude to have. If it motivates you to be your best, and nobody gets hurt in the process minus your local store's junk food sales, then Attitude-Up I say!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a special occasion coming up to light the fires! I'm sure you'll do great and you'll blow everyone's socks off when you show up. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to be excited about an upcoming event like this, rather than feeling the dread that comes when you know you don't look your best! Use it, nothing wrong with that motivation to keep you on track :0
ReplyDeleteSing it sista!!
ReplyDeleteEvery little bit of "motivation" helps;)
ReplyDeleteI say welcome anything and everything that motivates you. No medals needed. Let that sexy body speak for itself. I'll bet you'll hear audible gasps as soon as you arrive =)
ReplyDeletethey certainly light a bit of a fire under your bum!
ReplyDelete"How awesome will I feel showing up all smokin' hot?" Uh...totally the right attitude to have! So, perhaps wearing the medal would go a little overboard. Maybe you could find a way to put it on a key chain!
