Friday:
Remember my challenges I listed last week...invited to my favorite pizza place for lunch. PURE torture.
Meal 1: Hot tea and Shake
Meal 2: Profile Chicken Noodle Soup
Meal 3: Profile Fiber Drink/Sparkling Water and a mixed greens salad with cucumbers. Balsamic Dressing on the side and Walnuts(four little pieces)
Meal 4: Chocolate Shake
Meal 5: Bar
Meal 6:Turkey Burgers with romaine wrap, 1 LFLC cheese, ketchup, brussel sprouts
Meal 7:chocolate shake

Had the Profile soup before lunch to try to take away that salty cravings for pizza/cheese. And drank my fiber shake on the way there to try to fill my grumbling stomach up...Ate lunch about 90 mins later than I normally do. Salad did NOT fill me up so I had my next meal replacement as soon as I got back to my desk. Will have my bar as a "treat" on the way home.
Also for $10 including Tax and Tip ended up with a salad with no protein on it...held the cheese...subbed cucumber for the apples and got the dressing on the side. Didn't eat all the walnuts...but I did bring them home for several fat servings for this weekend....what a waste...never going to lunch there again.


Saturday:
Meal 1 and 2: Double hot shake with tea
Meal 3: Strawberry smoothie, spinach and PB powder, Salad, dressing mixture that was  half of a fat and half of a freebie, a couple of pieces of yesterday's walnuts. 
Meal 4: Bar
Meal 5: Meat Loaf, asparagus ,broccoli, honey mustard yogurt dressing
Meal 6: Profile cheese cake with PB powder


Sunday: 
Meal 1 and 2: double strawberry smoothie with PB powder
Meal 3: Profile noodle soup with profile rice added, cucumber, carrot, broccoli, spinach salad, 1/2Honey Mustard and Asian Profile salad dressing, a couple of pieces of Friday's walnuts. 
Meal 4: Bar
Meal 5: Steak, mashed eggplant, brussels, kalettes, balsamic 
Meal 6: Frozen Chocolate Shake with 1 cup of almond milk


Food reviews:
Eric made veggie meatloaf on Saturday and it was amazing! Even the kids liked it. He made them in muffin tins and the size equated to two muffins each for dinner protein. He used the profile recipe but didn't use green peppers as we both hate them. I think he added other vegetables too like butternut squash.

On Sunday, with our steaks he was trying to find a mashed potato alternative and thought the mashed cauliflower was too labor intense. So he roasted and then pureed eggplant. I am not normally an eggplant fan...but this wasn't too bad.

I also found there odd little vegetables called Kalettes. They seem to be a hybrid of Kale and brussel sprouts. When roasted, the leaves get crunchy and the center stays the consistency of a brussel sprout. We liked them and will include them in the rotation.

After drinking chocolate shakes for a couple of months...the thought of Almond Milk in my last snack last night seemed luxurious. And boy was it...much creamier and decadent.

Challenges:
Saturday I took the 5yo to a Girl Scout event that had a tables of many different countries and nationalities. All of which served food. I had to pass by table after table of cookies and pastries and egg rolls and perogies and sausages and quiches and drinks of lime, cinnamon milk, sweet tea, and candies...and did I mention cookies!

I came home and devoured my salad and smoothie.

Weight Loss to Date: 19.5
The elusive 20 mark is holding out on me!!

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
