A Tuesday that felt like a Monday times 10!

I got so caught up in writing yesterday's post and getting through my emails that I finally looked up at the clock and it was almost 10am and I had not even had my first meal yet. I also was not hungry enough to do a double shake...so I had one and moved the 2nd one to the afternoon and replaced my fiber drink. 

Meal 2: Tomato Soup with Balsamic Vinegar and 1 LFLC Cheese, Cooked Carrots and Celery. Raw Cucumbers with 2/3 of a LFLC Cheese. 

Meal 6: A hodgepodge of leftovers. Because of the serving size of the proteins we had lots of 1, 2, and 3 oz portions of chicken, fish, and beef that were not getting eaten. So I had 2 Cauliflower Tortillas with 1/2 LFLC Cheese, a spoonful of slaw, a couple ounces of cod, and a couple ounces of chicken, and a bowl full of Asian Veggies with PB Powder Peanut sauce.

Challenges: Cold weather is still keeping us inside...but today it's supposed to be near 60 and Sunny all day. So I WILL WALK AT LUNCH....I WILL WALK AT LUNCH....I WILL WALK AT LUNCH. And I will have no excuse tomorrow (high of 71) or Friday (high of 69). So I will WALK OUTSIDE the rest of the work week. 

Two ante dotes: 
1. Eric made an awesome lunch for himself the other day that I forgot to mention and am wanting to try a variation for myself. He made a "taco salad" with Romaine, Profile Vegetarian Chili, Spices/hot sauce, Salsa Ranch Yogurt Dressing (http://www.bolthouse.com/product/salsaranch), and Yellow Bell Peppers(cut into large pieces to use like Chips/Scoops). It looked and smelled good...but I am not a fan of the hot spices he added...so I will try to attempt my own version soon. 

2. Yesterday was the first day I actually physically notices my own weight loss, thus far. Maybe it was the shirt I was wearing...but it seemed to skim my stomach rather than cling to it. It was a big step/milestone for me. 

Weightloss (yes I weighed again...but I will not again for a few days...I WILL NOT WEIGH MYSELF EVERY DAY!...I WILL NOT WEIGH MYSELF EVERYDAY)
 17.07   

I thought it noteworthy that after 34 days, I have lost 17 lbs. That averages to half a pound per day. Or about 3.4 lbs per week. 
I think this is noteworthy in comparison to how I did on weight watchers 2 years ago. A 3 lb weight loss on a given week was HUGE for me then. And I was working out a lot more than compared to now. So if I can get my exercise up...why wouldn't I try to strive for 5lbs per week. If I did that I could be to my 1st "goal" by summer. I know that is extreme and probably unattainable. But it is something to look forward to or strive for.  

Well I have been awake over 2 hours now...and haven't had anything to eat. I better go make my morning shake tea so I don't miss my meals like yesterday!

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
