Challenges:
Walking 10,000 steps a day takes some real dedication. I had to walk for over an hour at lunch and then I still had to stay on my feet for most of the evening Friday night. Saturday was easier since I realized the pedometer on my watch was not working...luckily my phone was in my pocket the whole time so I could get an accurate reading. 
My goal for Sunday was to wake up early(before the rest of the house) and workout. Yeah...that didn't happen. Then baby fell asleep while we were out running errands...so I couldn't get her down for a nap when we got home. I FINALLY got her to take a late nap around 4pm....so I hurried downstairs and got on the elliptical for the length of one episode of "House of Cards." - minus 10 mins where I did some arm free weights. The baby slept for maybe 10-15 mins of my work out...but I let hubby deal with it.  


Food reviews:
Orange Drink: Not too bad...I think this will be a refreshing option for the hot summer months when a shake just seems too heavy/thick. 

Strawberry Kiwi Drink: Same with this. I blended it in the magic bullet with made it way too frothy....so I don't recommend that. 

Nacho Pasta: Got a box to try since it was on sale. I actually really like it and plan to make it a regular lunch option. There is a secret to making it. Do not follow the directions or else you will end up with all of the flavoring baked onto the rim of the bowl you are microwaving it in. The bowl needs to be pretty large to keep it from boiling over. Also I would recommend standing at the microwave and watching it. I ended up stopping it every 50-60 seconds to scrape the sides and stir it. 

Lobster Rolls: Eric made me a lobster salad with lobster meat, celery, and Fat Free miracle whip and other seasonings. I wrapped it in Romaine. I really think what I loved the most with real lobster rolls was the sweet, soft and toasty bread. The lettuce wraps really left me wanting. 

Vanilla Pudding: I have tried so many times to like the Vanilla mix. As a shake its not great. But as a pudding...if you blend it in a blender/magic bullet...it is less gritty and the additional flavoring I have added(usually lime juice) seems to take that weird vanilla after taste away. 


Weight: I am very frustrated with no loss in over a week. I am trying to remind myself it's not all about the numbers on the scale...and I have been holding steady unlike last month at this time where it jumped pretty high. The other frustration is that I have exercised more in the last three days then I have any other time on this plan and the scale is not immediately showing the work. I know I need to be patient...and that it will eventually come...and hopefully after this week I will see more drastic drops. 

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
