I am back....
It has been the most exhausting week of my life. I would compare it to the first week after having a baby.
My body hurts. My mind is foggy. I am sleep deprived. I am forgetful. I have lost my keys twice.

But we did manage to turn our 8 week plan for getting our house on the Market into a 5 day purging fest. The house is on the market and we have had tons of showings the last two days. Please say a little prayer that the buyer is writing up the contract now and will submit it ASAP. Knock on wood...and spit twice.
It's only been on the market 2 days and I am ready to find a St. Joseph statue to bury in the back yard.
I know I know...I need Patience...I am just all out at the moment.

So that's where I have been. Chin deep in stuff.

But I did hit a few NSG and SGs on my time away.

I hit 50lbs lost this morning!! I have also dropped out of the "Obese" category on the BMI chart. Does that mean I am no longer an "American Statistic" :)? My favorite work pants had to be donated. And clothes that were in another closet from my skinnier days now fit again and some I even waited too long to pull out.

My meals have become mundane...but I haven't had the time or energy to look up recipes or try new things.
I am doing just the Chocolate shakes, with Caffeinated Tea in the mornings, usually a salad of some type for lunch, a bar and fiber drink for a afternoon snack and dinner is a crap shoot depending on what's in the house and or where we have to go out to eat and then a shake before bed.
We have had to eat out the last 2 nights due to evening showings. So I am hoping the scale doesn't bounce the wrong direction in the next couple of days!!

I have also come to the conclusion that I think I might be a stress eater. I never thought I was until this week....when I wanted some bad things to comfort myself. I came very close to ordering a real Chai Tea Latte at starbucks while I was kicked out of my house for a showing...but fate/stress induced forgetfulness stepped and I realized I had left my wallet at work...so no monies to even go to Starbucks. I also dreamt about donuts more than once...which is odd...because I so very rarely ate donuts in my past life...but my subconscious must want them now!

Well I need caffeine and protein...off to my morning shake routine!

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
