Meals:

Friday...I have no clue

Saturday:
Lunch: Profile Lemonade and Veggie Lasagna
Dinner: Cauliflower Rice, Pulled Pork, Broccoli Slaw, BBQ sauce, Honey Mustard Yogurt Dressing

Sunday:
Lunch: Profile Cheese Pizza with additional Cheese and Ham
Dinner: Rice free Sushi

Challenges:I am still not working out. I am not sure what my deal is. I have a jawbone device that I use to monitor exercise and sleep. I think one of my issues is that my sleep is not consistent.Some nights like weekends or the day I work from home I could get as much as 9 hours of sleep. On other nights I could get as little as 5 1/2 hours. Making me too tired. I also tend to re-use my exercise time to run errands and get things done that are easier done when Kid Free.

Food Review:
Profile Lemonade...I tried it blended with ice hoping for a slushy type drink. I wish I had tried it normal the first time...because I was not impressed. It was too watered down. I think if I mixed it with either a lacroix or with the berry fiber drink I would have liked it better.

Weight: creeping back up the last couple of days...I need to stay off the scale if I don't "use the bathroom" the day before...back to the weight I was 4 or 5 days ago :( - 43.97 

Musings:
My friend Steph, asked me if this weight loss journey was triggering a purge of our home and "stuff", as well. At the time she asked me...it had not. Other than the desire to purge clothes that were too big. But recently that trigger has started to go off. Maybe I had to lose a certain number of pounds or go down a number sizes...but the feeling is now very strong. We have toyed with the idea of moving to a new home. And the idea of moving all of the crap I have accumulated over the last 10 years in this house AND not to mention the crap I have carried with me in every move in the last 20 years as pushed me to a purging frenzie. I have read RIGHT SIZE, RIGHT NOW:The 8-week Plan to Organize, Declutter, and Make ANY Move STRESS-FREE and am currently reading THE LIFE CHANGING MAGIC OF TIDYING UP.
I am listed to the Audio version of each WHILE trying to go through certain areas or work on the Curb appeal of the house. My how we have let the yard and house go over the last 10 years! Also listening while driving or while working. I hope to really embrace these concepts.
This weekend I finished my own closet, photographed and recycled all the kids artwork, pruned a tree, cleaned out 10-15 years worth of leaves and needles from under an evergreen, and went to Home Depot to buy what we needed to spruce up the outside. I hope the Hubby gets motivated today and does most of that sprucing up...but I doubt it!
Shouldn't some of that count as exercise?

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
