Food Reviews:
The stir fry was new...but not anything I would ask for again. I think I have bad memories associated with Stir fry...when I was like 7 or 8 my parents went whole hog on Weight Watchers and both lost a ton of weight. And they bought a WOK and we had stir fry all the damn time...and as a kid, I HATED it. So now I am still not a huge fan of it. I am also not a big fan of Chinese spices and flavorings.

I also actually had so much to eat at lunch I felt full for one of the few times I can remember on this plan. I was planning on eating the rest of the celery with Powdered PB, but I didn't need to. I think I will keep the rest on hand for those times when I am starving and don't have time to eat a full meal. It curbed my hunger enough to allow me to go for a hour long walk before coming back to eat lunch.

 Exercise:
That's right you read that right. I walked down to the library to get my book club book and ended up walking around the library and finding 3 more books and then walked to CVS to buy tea and toothpaste to keep at work. Per my pedometer I only ended up walking around 1 mile in total over lunch...which I find really hard to believe as I only stopped walking for about 5 minutes while at the library...but oh well.

Goals/Misc:
One of the other books I picked up was a "Wheat Belly" Cookbook. I am interested to see if any of the recipes fit within the Profile plan. I am concerned they don't due to their use of nut flours and other fats. I plan to take it to my next counselor meeting to see what they say about the science behind their plan versus "Wheat Belly."

The other 2 books I picked up were to help me plan options for our summer trip to the Black Hills. There seems to be way more to do there then I remember from my childhood...or else it was things that my parents didn't want to do so that kept us from them. I did see a place that did zip lining and other activities. I am not sure I will be at a low enough weight by July to do those things...but it would be a fun goal to reach. So far at 6 weeks I have lost 23 lbs...the trip is 18 weeks away...which at this rate I could lose another 65 lbs. So maybe I could zipline....I will look up the weight restrictions today.
UPDATE: Shoot, I could do it now at my current weight...so yea...but I still think I would enjoy it more at a lesser weight...so I am going to tell myself I need to be at 60lbs lighter to go.

There are also a TON of hiking trails and horseback riding...I wonder if Eric would be up to it if I find a kid carrier for the week to do some hikes. Well we might need two for our friends's 3yo. The two 6yos should be fine.

 Weight check:
I refuse to weigh myself since I have not been "going" enough. I upped my bene fiber today...
I am sure you really wanted to know that!

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
