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

Day 1 Jillian Michaels BodyShred

Today is Day 1 of Jillian Michaels' BodyShred !! I got up bright and early (Hello 4:30 AM!) and took my weight and measurements. I'll be taking pics after I write this post. Though I won't post them until the end of the program. Just not feeling it right now :) Then, I did workout 1!  AND only had to modify the push-ups, woohoo! First, the numbers: Beginning BodyShred Stats Weight 197.4 Right Bicep 13 Bust 44 Waist 37 Hips 45 Right Calf 15 Not going to lie, I did NOT expect to see that number on the scale. I expected it to read somewhere between 188 and 192. But, there it is. Fruit of my poor choices lately. Funny thing though, instead of feeling horrible about myself as I would have in the past, I felt motivated. Line. Drawn. In. SAND. Starting line! As I took my weight and measurements this morning, then looked myself in the mirror anticipating before pics, I felt no self loathing. Instead I'm just being very honest and real with myself.

Knowing vs Doing

There was a time in my life when I didn't know how to live healthy. A time when I didn't know how to listen to my body and give it what it needs to thrive. I didn't know that grains and white potatoes make me feel like crap. I didn't know I needed more water and less Sugarfree Rock Star to get through the afternoon. I didn't know how great taking care of myself and making good choices could make me feel. I didn't know my body was capable of working out hard, capable of running for miles and miles, capable period ! I didn't know. Fortunately I took the time (let's be real, it was years) to figure these things out. To research. To learn. To experiment with what works best for me. And now I know ... If only that was all it took! You see, I know, but I'm not doing . I'm not doing the things it takes to take care of my body. I'm not drinking enough water. I'm not running. I'm not lifting weights. I'm not working out at all.

Hype or Help: Jillian Michaels BodyShred

I was sent the BodyShred program for review purposes. As always opinions are 100% honest and my own. I first heard about Jillian Michaels' new program BodyShred from a twitter friend. Excitement doesn't begin to describe my response; I couldn't get to the BodyShred site fast enough! After perusing the site a bit and reading about the program I decided THIS is exactly what I need right now!  Jillian workouts are among my favorites and I had great results from her Body Revolution program pre-baby. A new Jillian program?! Yes. Please. I've wandered pretty far off track with our move from Colorado to Idaho. My weight loss and fitness were not a priority (I know, I know, you'd think I'd learn...) During the move my eating was pretty good, but workouts didn't happen. AT. ALL. I think I went 3 weeks (maybe 4?) without working out once. Then, once we arrived in Idaho (while we wait for our CO house to sell) we rented a tiny house with a small yard and I'
