I know I know...I have been MIA!!
Last week was crazy busy with work and some vacation days off of work.
I have no idea what I ate...other than I stayed on PLAN about 98%

Challenges: My mom was in town Wed-Sun and that should not have been a challenge since she is a Profiler as well....but she is in the Sustain phase and we did not have a lot of fruit or carbs for her to consume. She mostly had what I had with a few exceptions. BUT the biggest challenge is that she and the 5yo made cookies on Saturday...and not just any cookie...her famous AMA Monster cookies...So yes I did finally cave and had a bite of one on Saturday (right out of the oven) and I had another whole one split over the day on Sunday. This was actually a win for me...because over the course of two days I had 1.5 cookies...any other time, I would have had 3-4 a DAY! They have peanut butter and oats in them...almost like a breakfast cookie...but not!

I also had planned to work out while she was here...you know with free childcare. But the 1 yo was inconsolable this weekend. She was either teething or she is coming down with a cold...but she would wail every time I left the room. I had hoped to work out during her naps...but she didn't sleep long on Saturday after we got back from Costco and then she fell asleep in my mom's arms on Sunday and when I went to lay her down...she didn't go back to sleep.

This coming week will be difficult with 2 work lunches and a reception for a co-worker.

Wins: I took part of Friday off to spend some 1 on 1 time with mia madre. We went to a movie(Big Fat Greek Wedding 2) and I snuck in my profile fiber drink, bar, and some pistachios instead of pop and popcorn. We also went shopping in a couple of boutiques that I would normally have to sit on the sideline of...or just shop the jewelry, because nothing would have fit me...but I found things in BOTH stores to buy!!
In the first store I was able to buy things in a regular women's XL size. The second store, for some reason I was still apprehensive about buying in a smaller/regular size and I ended up buying things in XXL or 2X. Which I realize now was dumb...as it is too big. But one was a hoodie sweatshirt...so the bagginess is still okay. The other shirt is one that is tight on the arms but loose throughout the rest...so regardless of size I think it would have looked the same. I did buy a pair of pajama pants in a women's XXL which might end up being too big...but they are PJ pants...so who cares.

Weight: -29.86 I can't quite bring myself to say 30 until I officially hit it.

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
