Profile by Sanford Days 86 - 90

Been MIA again...such a busy weekend and week so far with work. Just couldn't seem to find a break in the day to jot down all I ate and felt. I moved buildings at work...so I have been busy packing and then unpacking.

So meals were nothing out of my norm. I did get blood work back from my doctor that I had low iron levels. So we are trying to increase the red meat at our house this week. We have had Steaks, Hamburgers, and meatloaf. My coach game me a list of high iron foods...but ughhh...nothing I would ever venture to eat. Mostly livers and oysters I think.
I still take a multi-vitamin with iron...but it doesn't seem to be enough.

Challenges have been big this week too. We had a co-worker's adoption shower with yummy sherbet punch and cupcakes, abstained. Had another work activity that served cake pops...I am staring at it now, hoping it makes it home to the 5yo! I have a meeting this weekend that will serve wine I am sure...ugh. Have a Sporting KC game tonight...where I can't eat ANYTHING there...
Dairy Queen run for the 5yo after her gymnastics class on Monday...and the S'MORES blizzards are back. I did have one small bite of hers. I had to...they are my FAVORITE!

I have exercised more this week. Walked the path at the park on Sunday while Hubby and 5yo played.
Then walked for 45 minutes Tuesday during 5yo dance class.

I recently heard from my friend in Washington and she also just hit 30lbs lost!! Way to go, Steph!!

Weight has been back and forth...but down this time - 33.39
I realized the other day that I am getting pretty close to my Wedding Weight from 12 years ago. Only 13 lbs to go. I am making that my next goal. It's too bad I don't still have my wedding dress!

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
