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'm not going to do measurements and BF% this week, just weight.
I lost 1 pound in week one of this plan.
Last week I was 189, this week I am 188.
Including the 2 pounds I lost on the 4 Day Kick Start plan, that's 3 pounds so far.
I am pleased with that.
I am actually shocked by a loss at all. It is such a different plan than what I tend towards I wasn't sure how my body would react. (I'm generally more gung ho and a little less sensible, yes this is my downfall).
I ate a very sensible 1600-1800 calories all week. 1800 is high for me (in my head!). I'm not used to allowing that many calories while trying to lose weight. I was honestly worried I might gain weight!
I also only did the 3 workouts, roughly 20 minutes each. Normally I feel like I have to workout at least 5 days, and much longer than 20 minutes.
I'm pleasantly surprised by these results. I think it's a very balanced sensible plan.
But I am going to kick things up a little for this next week. The workout calendar says "if you are new to exercise" which I am absolutely not. So, I am going to add the bonus DVD more. I still hope to do some yoga on my off days and fit a run in this weekend (these didn't happen last week). I will keep the 1600-1800 calorie range.
