I think my mindset if finally starting to turn... Eat to live, not live to eat
We have always been told that eating should only be used to sustain life...not to fill a void or to use as mood elevator...I also knew that in my head...but I didn't really ever believe it inside. Or I thought only health nuts feel that way. I don't consider myself a health nut...but I do feel a shift in me. I am not constantly thinking about my next meal and most cravings have subsided. I hope that continues.I am sure it will be a life long battle of wanting to taste that which is not good for me...and knowing I shouldn't(or can't if I want to stay the course).

Challenges:
I must still have some lingering cravings, because I had a dream last night that I went completely off plan...food, alcohol, the whole bit. I remember buying a hard lemonade like Mike's and drinking it so fast because it tasted soooo good. But in the dream I also got SUPER drunk off of just one. After drinking it I felt sooo guilty like I had forgotten I was trying to lose weight and could see the scale just spiking.

Food Reviews:
I tried the Profile Mixed Berry Fruit drink in place of a shake. It was a nice change...but did have a very jello-ey  like after taste. It does not contain the fortified vitamins that the shakes do...so they say if you are going to have more than one "non-fortified" meal replacement a day, you need to add a multivitamin. Well I already take a multivitamin...so I am not worried about it. When looking up the drink choices I saw a Cran-Grape one that I would like to try next. I hope they have it in the store on my next appointment.

Weight:
I have been doing my little trick of weighing in on a different number on the scale until I like what I see...so far this week I have not at all liked what I have seen. Last Saturday was my last official weigh in and it was the lowest it has been at 22.81lbs lost. All week I have been waiting for a lower number. And it never happened...so I did an official weigh this morning due to my Profile Appt later today...so I am back up to 21.26lbs lost. Still good...I made that 20lb mark this week, so I should feel good about that...but something inside me doesn't like the little(or big) spikes I see. I was curious of the monthly "timing" of the spikes. And though I have had little bumps up over the past few weeks...the horrible huge spike that shook me to my core was exactly one month ago today. Feb 3/March 3. Though my spike this time was only around 1.5 lbs...and NOT 7LBs...I am starting to see the monthly cycle in my weight fluctuation. Not that it makes me feel a lot better...but it does ease my mind a bit that it is only temporary....and probably something I am going to have to get used to. Being a woman just totally sucks sometimes!

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
