Profile By Sanford Day 1


Last night I packed my food for my day at work...only to realize I was double booked at lunch with a going away party at an Italian Restaurant and a 2 hour project meeting that was also serving Pizza. Arrrgghhhh. Snag 2 and 3 hit simultaneously.

Alright, First day out of the blocks...challenges will only continue. I can do this...right?! Okay "sorry, guy-I-have-sat-across-from-for-3 1/2 years,  I can not attend your going away lunch because I have to attend this project meeting." Snag 2 diverted. I brought my lunch...and will eat it before the noon meeting. Snag 3 semi diverted...though the smell of pizza in the conference room might just piss me off.

So, so far today I have used one of the meal replacement shakes (Vanilla) and mixed it with plain Chai Tea. I forgot my measuring cup so I am not sure I got the water to mix ration right...it was a little too thick for my liking and had that diet shake aftertaste...but at least I got my caffeine in with out needing my regular Chai Tea Latte.
My MOM diet also allows me 2 small servings of Starch and 1 Serving of dairy/dairy substitute. So I had one cup of Kashi Go-Lean Crisp cereal and 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk. I choose to hold my fat serving until lunch so I can have mayo on my burger.

For snack I have the 10g protein bar called Peanut Butter brownie. I liken it to an old super dried out Reese's Peanut butter cup in a bar format. Not super yummy...but I was hungry enough at snack time to eat it all without looking back. My MOM diet also allotted me one serving of fruit...so I had about 1/3 of a Harry and David Pear....that was super yummy!!

For lunch I brought a Turkey Burger, 1 slice of whole grain bread to act as my bun, 2 small slices of cheese, a cup of spinach, 1/2cup of carrots, the rest of the pear, a container of lowfat yogurt, ketchup, mayo, and...SOB I left my salad dressing at my desk and I am in another building!!! A dry spinach salad...yuck!!
Okay snag #4...here is what I will do...use some of the spinach on my burger for crunch...cut up the pear into the salad...so the juice acts like a dressing.

Water intake for the day so far is about 5 glasses or 40 ozs. I really need to start using my bottles with the ounce markings on them...

My plan for the rest of the day is a snack as soon as I get home that will be a starch and a fruit; dinner of  1 protein, 1 starch, 2 veggies, 2 fats, 1 dairy; evening snack of 1 bar, 1 fat, 1 starch. FYI, the fruit, starch, and dairy are what got added with my MOM plan. Eric is only getting Supplements, Proteins, veggies, and fats.

Oh and I forgot to mention yesterday...Mr. Poor/Rich Man's Bradley Cooper told Eric to expect to loose 10lbs the first week...and my Ms. Amanda told me that the MOM plan will not ALLOW me to loose more than 1 or 2 lbs. Awesome...Should I just stop pumping this week?? Is it worth it...is EmJ really getting the benefit of just a few ounces of BM a day??

Last statement of the day...the app
Only been using it for like 7 hours. It is pretty simple. Just check off the servings. But what I am missing and had with Weight Watchers App back in the day...was specifics on brands from their master database. Profile expects you to know what constitutes a serving. I would like to look up a particular brand, flavor, and size of yogurt and the app to tell me that it should count as 1 dairy and 1 fat....I shouldn't be guessing. Also I would like the app to be able to pull my pedometer readings off my Samsung watch or from my phone's pedometer app...I am not sure how to make that happen.

More to come...

Profile by Sanford Day 7...but really day 1 of REBOOT

On Wednesday 1/20, I started the REBOOT program on my own accord. I hadn't pumped in over 24 hours and just decided to jump in. I had Eric's menu to go off of and wanted to try his Profile Products anyway before I went into the store this afternoon for my weekly meeting and stock up session. I will admit I felt a little bit hungrier. Eric's hunger scale on his chart showed a high hunger rating on his first day too but it seemed to taper off after the second day. So I am hopeful. I had a shake for meal 1, a Profile Soup(Chicken...better made with broth, fyi) for meal 2, a soup(tomato...I didn't mix it well enough) and roasted broccoli and a spinach with beet salad for meal 3(lunch), one of my last 10g protein bars(supposed to have been a 15g bar but hadn't made it to the store yet to stock up) and spoon full of powdered peanut butter(Profile freebie).....note to self...add some of this powder to shakes for a better taste on those that need a little help. I went in

Starting the morning with a Strawberry shake...adding ice for the smoothie effect... By 9:30 was hungry again...was able to hold out until 10am where I created a "game changer" Chocolate shake made with hot water(cocoa effect) and Peanut Butter Powder....I can not say it enough...GAME CHANGER...This is something I would even consider drinking after I reach my goal!! For lunch I had a spinach salad with broccoli/carrot slaw. I split my fat up between a low cal salad dressing and a Laughing cow Cheese. FYI the white cheddar has the same cal/fat content as the swiss light and tastes way better!! And a cup of the Profile Chicken soup. Still not my favorite...but on the REBOOT plan I need 4 meal replacements and one will soon get bored with only Shakes. Remember to use vegetable or chicken broth instead of water and it makes it better. Snack what a Profile glazed Sugar Cookie bar and a glass of mixed berry fiber drink that I mixed with a carbonated flavored water....hoping t

Profile by Sanford - 2 years and 3 months

So I did not actually fall of the face of the earth...but it sort of feels like I did, doesn't it? I will say that 2 years into this process, I am still a big believer in it. When I reached my goal over a year ago, I kind of "let loose." I ate all the foods I had restricted myself from having during reduce. I didn't gain back right away. It took a couple of months...but my sugar addiction came back with a vengeance.  I eventually gained 20lbs back and when I hit "that number"...I freaked. What was I doing to myself? Why was I throwing away 12 months of tremendous hard work? Part of my issue was the sugar, but the other part was that I didn't spend this same time and energy to learn and understand the adapt and sustain phases that I had done with reduce. That was huge. When they added a carb and fruit into my daily diet, I would count pizza or sugar treat as my carb...not everyday...but once in a while. I still fundamentally knew I shouldn't be ea
