Paleo Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burgers

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

Ultimate Booty Workouts - Phase 2 Recap, Results, and Review

I'm really not ready for it to be the last day of March. Excuse me while I have a bit of a freakout... Seriously, where did the month go?!  Oh well, it went. I'm just glad Spring is here. This mama needs some sunshine! Anyway, on to my Ultimate Booty Phase 2 discussion: Recap This was my planned workout schedule for March. Lots of people have asked where I print these calendars. I print them from imom . At first I wasn't sure, but I loved having this many rest days scheduled. I did add in a couple of extra days of cardio in the month, but it was nice to have that flexibility. I also found my not quite up to par post-baby body needed the extra recovery time. Two words: sore muscles. I really enjoyed this month's workout. Possibly even more than last month...maybe. I loved the new moves, the intensity, and the addition of the HIIT at the end. For me it was sprints on the treadmill. All in all, my workouts were great. I used my 10 lb weights

Return of the Running Bug

You might have been bitten by the running bug if... You have more running shoes in your closet than regular shoes. You craft your running playlists more carefully than most people craft the seating charts at their wedding. You watch Spirit of the Marathon on Netflix...for the 5 million and third time. image via Amazon.com You lose hours pinning running gear to Pinterest . image via Pinterest You dream about running a 4:25 marathon and immediately upon waking start figuring out how hard you'd have to train to do that. You start having dreams about running. You spend more time on DailyMile than you do on Facebook. You can't stop registering for races. You tweet your friends asking which GPS watch is best (or shoes, or socks, or...). Starting 9k training. What's a good watch to help me track pace, distance, etc?? GPS? #fitfluential #runchat — Kerri (@KerriOlkjer) March 8, 2014 Your instagram feed is filled with people running races before

Ultimate Booty Workouts - Phase 1 Recap, Results, and Review

I can't believe I've been doing this program for a month! Wow, the time flew. Recap I began Ultimate Booty Workouts Phase 1 very gung ho and my plan was to do 3 sets of the Phase 1 workout, 3 times a week, using my 10 lb weights. Then, to do an upper body (my own, not included in this book) workout twice a week and cardio once a week (Oh, and I hoped to throw in some yoga too?!). Didn't happen.  I did the first workout, doing 3 sets using my 10 lb weights, and was sooooo sore for two or three days following. What worked for me was to drop down to my 8 lb weights and give myself 2 days of rest between workouts. I tend to think I'm a badass, but my post-partum body doesn't quite agree yet.  I also only got the upper body workout in once a week and only did cardio the last 2 weeks (though cardio isn't a requirement for Phase 1). Best laid plans I guess. However, I'm proud of myself for adjusting to what my body needed and persevering instead of
