Meal 1: Tea with 1/2 pack of Vanilla Profile Shake
Meal 2: Tea with 1/2 pack of Vanilla Profile Shake
Meal 3: Double Nacho Pasta with mashed Cauliflower and ground beef
Meal 4: Chicken and Veggie stir fry with Peanut Sauce (PB powder)
Meal 5: Frozen Chocolate Shake with Almond Milk and PBPowder

 Challenges:
Still waiting to get the test results back from the many blood draws over the past few days...but I am pretty sure one of the issues I have is low iron. Hence the additional ground beef at lunch. I also counted it as a fat and ate it instead of my bar. Probably against all plan rules. But I am feeling pretty drained lately.  I do take a supplement...but maybe I am low in Vitamin C as well which helps absorb the iron. Or maybe it is all in my head:)

My coach gave me a long list of iron rich foods...mostly dark meats and livers...ughh...that won't happen. I do eat a lot of Spinach salads...but spinach is high for a vegetable...but not really that high in general.

I also have not had the time or energy to work out. Only real exercise I did this past week was the walk I took with the baby on Tuesday evening. Tonight it is going to be cold! So hopefully it will warm up enough this weekend to get outside.

Food Reviews:
I needed more caffeine on this day...so I had two full cups of tea and used the Vanilla mix more like a creamer. I have seen my mom do this with coffee and it seemed like a good idea! I liked it enough to do this while at home. At work I still do the one tea with entire packet since I can't seem to get in two separate shakes in the morning as it is...(hence all the double Nacho Pastas at lunch!)
Though I still like the Nacho Pastas...I am taking a break from them for a few days. I bought up all of the beef stews during their buy one get one free deal yesterday...so I will be having that for lunch until at least next Tuesday when our local Store is running their 1 year anniversary sale with 30% off everything.

Weight: didn't weigh this morning as per my every other day "rule".
BUT I did decide to break out my jeans that are a size smaller than I have been normally been wearing and they fit pretty great...even for new jeans which can sometimes feel a little tight until you have warn them in...these were comfy right out of the gate. So yea for smaller jeans!!


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
