Profile By Sanford Day 27


Today I ate:
Meal 1: Profile Chocolate Shake with Tea
Meal 2: Profile Cereal with Almond milk
Meal 3: Profile Chicken soup; Spinach Salad with romaine, carrots, and cucumbers and Profile Balsamic dressing, # more whole mini cucumbers with 1 LF LC Cheese
Meal 4: Fiber Gelatin and Bar
Meal 5: Steak, Brussel sprouts, and zucchini. I poured 1 tbls of Balsamic Vinegar on the veggies
Meal 6: Profile Chocolate Fudge Cake and 8 almonds

 New Food reviews:
Fiber Gelatin...tastes like you would expect. I am not a huge fan of Jello to begin with so you are not going to hear rave reviews from me on gelatin either way. But I can say its tastes and looks like actual Jello.

Profile Chocolate Fudge Cake...of all of the items I should have asked for a sampling of it was this. I was not happy at all with the texture OR taste. It was very chewy and gelatinous. I was hoping for more of a brownie texture...but it is far from that. Since I have a whole box, I will be attempting to doctor this one up a bit. I will even consider eating it "raw" like brownie/cake batter. I also hope to find some recipes in order to try to use up this product. All and all I am pretty disappointed with the two desserts. So I think I will stick with the shakes for my late evening meal.

 Challenges:
I didn't have many temptations/challenges yesterday...well except one. Kiddo bringing home her Valentine's Day party candy from school. Nothing in it peeked my interest except a Kit Kat. Eric said..."split it with ya"...and i don't think he was kidding. We didn't...but I wanted to. She also had a Bailey's (yes, Bailey's liquor) chocolate truffle in her stash...we were shocked anyone would hand that out to kids! She won't like it. Both of us would immensely enjoy it. Can't just throw it away. I think Eric got rid of it for me....but I am not sure. I just got up and walked away.

I met with my counselor this evening and showed her this blog...(Hi Amanda!!) She gave me a pep-talk similar to what Stephanie(Hi Steph!!) has been giving me. Stay the course. No one said this was going to be easy. Stay off the scale(i.e. don't weigh every day). Your doing great...all that jazz. And though it helps, it is hard to watch others around me CHEAT at this plan and still lose a lot more than me. Eric has already picked out his "half way to goal" reward.

I need to start exercising for reals if I am going to get this weight off. My plan today is to walk the halls of work's tech center. Still too cold outside. Tomorrow I hope to work out at home since I will be telecommuting and can get on the treadmill over lunch.

That's it for yesterday...
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

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

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
