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
After much deliberation I have decided to put my Hype or Help experiment of Jillian's Ripped in 30 on hold for now.
I am beginning my Awesome by August challenge and want to give it my all. Locked into this program I don't feel I can do that. Having done the program for 2 weeks I feel like I know it well enough to review it however. That review will be coming up soon. I may re-do this experiment in the future, or I may just abandon it altogether. Either way, here are my week 2 results:
As I said, there won't be a week 3 or week 4 update as I'm wanting to give Awesome by August my all. I want to do what I feel I need to as far as workouts and eating choices. Not feel tied to this plan. I also don't feel right about reporting results from this plan if I want to add in 45 minutes of cardio a day (plus, I miss lifting heavy). That wouldn't be accurate as to what you'd get from THIS plan. I want my Hype or Help experiments to be honest and as close to 100% on the plans as possible. Changing this plan that much would no longer give accurate results. So, I'm abandoning it.
Ultimately I have to do what works for me. THAT is where my focus is right now. I hope everyone following this experiment understands!

3 pounds in 2 weeks is pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat is awesome in August?
Vanessa, thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt is a weight loss challenge we're doing. Where I first mentioned it is a link if you're interested.
So now I'm curious. What kinda exercises does Jillian focus on in this one?? You got great results so far!
ReplyDeleteGreat results! They're so inspiring. I'm sure you do what's right for you. :)
ReplyDeleteJosie, I'll review it soon! to be truthful I think it had more to do with the diet plan.
