Challenges: Carving out time to exercise. Coach challenged me to create a calendar with specific slots carved out for exercise since I am so good at making excuses. I want to exceed what was planned. I WANTED to get up this morning and work out. I woke up on my own (to pee) at 4:50am...it would have been a perfect time to just shake off the sleep and go work out. But that bed just called to me and said you are not done sleeping yet. I know that if I don't have at least 90 minutes left before my alarm goes off I should not go back to sleep...but I did anyway. Now I am dragging. I hit the snooze alarm twice and had to fly out the door to make my commute. I forgot a shaker bottle/cup...so today will be a fun filled experience making my shakes. I have a big BBQ event tomorrow. So all my focus will be to stay on plan throughout the day.  Will spend tonight packing a whole day's worth of veggies and shakes.

Food:Our store is still out of our chipotle pizzas. So I have been buying cheese pizzas and adding leftover steak to them.

Weight: - 38.46
I didn't lose much this past week...though it was a short week (Fri to Wed) based on my appt schedule. I only lost 0.9lbs. So that is a little difficult to deal with.

Interesting read...

I have never agreed with the way this show handles weight loss. But this article does spark my thought process on what will happen to our metabolism after we reach our goal weights. Will we be destined to eat several hundred calories less per day than the normal person...just to maintain. Can I live like that forever? Will I start inching up on the scale the moment carbs touch my lips again? Will all of this hard work only last as long as I can last without a sandwich?

Food for thought...

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
