Challenges:
Friday night we were invited over to a neighbor's house for Pizza and Beer/Kids play-date. I immediately had to decline offers of everything...and just sip my water. I tried to come off as hating this plan and doing at a team with my husband...but I really don't feel that way. I just didn't want to be perceived as a party pooper who doesn't drink and only eats vegetables. 

Saturday night was our first Sporting KC game of the season. They have really tried to out do themselves with new and better food selections...but all we bought was a $6 bottle of water and Hawaiian Ice for the 5yo. Finally that place starts offering decent food and we still can't eat ANY OF IT. Even had a new Kiosk of healthy choices...all of which were fruit based. Oh well, we tightened the purse strings at the end of last season due to financial issues....so I am just pretending we are still in that mode. I saved my bar to eat at the game so I felt like I got a little bit of a "treat." I really wish I could slow down and enjoy these bars...cuz i think the one I get is really good. But I always end up wolfing it down faster than humanly imaginable. 

Sunday night neither of us wanted to cook...and since Houlihan's was such a bust last time we went to Jason's Deli. Probably the first time I have ever eaten there and not gotten the soft serve ice cream. I tried hard to find a reason why I should be able to have some...like isn't it "fat free"? A quick google search and no...it's not. 6 grams of fat per serving...and who knows how you measure a serving on an ice cream cone, anyway. So I made a cone for the 5yo and walked away from the machine. After eating there, I realized that their salad bar is not that great. I really had the same things I always do in my salads...lettuce/spinach...cucumbers...broccoli...a couple of baby carrots and some peas...both of which was really for the kids to eat off my plate. 

I really want to find a place we can eat out at that the only offering we can consume isn't a salad...I get enough salad as it is when I make my own lunches.  

Exercise: Hubby had to work all weekend, which meant that a workout workout wasn't going to happen. So during 1yo's nap on Sunday the 5yo and I went out and played basketball in the drive way. I would in no way consider this a workout...but I also wasn't sitting down on my butt ALL day(just most of it) as I folded 4 laundry baskets worth of clothes. Both Saturday and Sunday I hit over 6000 steps...again that should be 10,000...but I am happy I didn't just sit on my but like I wanted to!

Food reviews:
Chicken Meatballs were a little rubbery...and I had no idea how to cook them. But once I cut them up and ate them with the veggie lasagna, I didn't notice the texture as much. 

Weight: Total loss as of Sunday Morning = 25.67lbs just in time for my massage reward scheduled for Monday evening!!
I think I have said this before...but I really am starting to notice my own weight loss. Normally, I this is not something I notice in myself...but as I was lying on the floor playing with the baby on Sunday, I notice my hip bone for the first time in years. And I feel lighter when running up our stairs. I used to have to hold on to the railing and kind of pull myself up. And yesterday as we were heading out to eat, I forgot to grab my jacket upstairs and ran up the stairs without touching the railing and without getting winded. That does feel good. 
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
