Meal 1: Chocolate Profile Shake and tea
Meal 2: Bar
Meal 3: 1/3 of a taco salad from Ponak's (iceberg, ground beef, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream and salsa)
Meal 4: Celery and PB Powder PB
Meal 5: Two packs of Profile Nacho pasta and 1.5 cups of broccoli with Bolthouse Parmesan Dressing
Meal 6: Vanilla shake with PB Powder

Challenges: Lunch out with work team. I knew it was coming. Ponak's is a Mexican restaurant...chips salsa...the whole deal. I asked for light cheese on the salad...and I did ask for sour cream. I knew I shouldn't have had either...but I just don't like all the tomatoes and salsa with out a bit of sour cream mixed in.  So I limited myself to only 1/3 of the salad...I was pretty hungry the rest of the day...but did my best to stay within the limits of the fat allowances. 

Food reviews: 
So one of the other "cheats" I forgot to mention over the long weekend was this Halo Top Ice Cream. It is low fat and high protein. I had a serving with one of my evening shakes. I counted it as a fat since there are 2 grams of fat per serving. We have had trouble finding this stuff...the stores can't keep it on the shelf! But right not we have vanilla, strawberry, and lemon cake. I like vanilla the best...but we haven't opened the Strawberry yet. Though I am not a huge fan of Strawberry. http://www.halotop.com/flavors/
I am not even sure, since it's dairy, that its allowed on Profile. But I have only had it 3 times since we found it...so not even once a week. And I usually don't even have a full serving...just a bite or two to curb that ice cream cravings.

Weight lost:...30.3 lbs in 75 days. I am happy with the results thus far. I do have to remind myself of the progress I have made on those days that the scale is unforgiving...trending down is good, don't get hung up on those one-off days, don't get hung up on comparing my loss to someone else's!

My 1st goal is to lose 85 lbs. So I am over 1/3 of the way there. 150 more days would put me at goal by the end of August.

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
