"made them characters", so I can tweak them a bit more. But now I am rather confused about their CRs. The MM says that both start with 2d8 racial HD. So in my troglodyte case, it would receive 2d8+1d10+15 (con mod is +5) hp making it a CR 3 creature? Right? Or? Is this the same with the grimlock as well? (2d8+1d12+con mods?) :confused:

In short, if the class lvl you ad fit with concept of the race (warrior class for warrior races) the CR goes up with 1 for each lvl you ad. If you ad a class lvl that does not fit with the race concept (sorcerer on a hill giant) the cr goes up 1/2 for every class lvl. HP is calculated like any other character. Racial HD + Class HD + (total number of HD multiplied with con mod). Which means that the Troglodyte would have 2d8+1d10+15 HP.
