Hello fellow health nuts!!
LOL J/K! I am far from a health nut! More like just a nut nut!
I feel bad for being MIA most of the summer. But I tell you what...I completely agree with moving being in the top 5 of the most stressful things that can happen in a person's life. And we are sooooo close I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Five boxes left to unpack...closing on the old house this week...starting to get into a normal routine.

My weight also shows the inconsistencies. Though I have stayed "on plan" about 99% of the time...The lack of water and the occasional sneak of a bite of something carb filled....has left my pretty little weight loss line a little jagged lately. Down 3 lbs, up 2 lbs, down 0.4 lbs, up 1.1lbs...I need to get back to it. And the heat wave has taken a slight break so I should be getting outside and exercising.
The entire month of July has been disappointing. While every other month I have averaged about a 10lb loss...This month (with only 5 days to go) I have only lost about 6lbs. Though a vacation and a move occurred in this month....I had hoped that the extra activity would have compensated for the occasional cheat. It did not.

Fellow profiler(Hey Steph!) and I have sent messages back and forth on the occasional increase in hunger...what causes this. I have noticed that sneaking carbs does it for me. I take a bite of my kid's mac and cheese or cookie...and then I am hungry for hours. I need to stop doing this to myself. It's complete torture.

Food reviews seem to be lacking as I am not mixing up my profile food much. I occasionally will have the cinnimon cereal with almond milk for one of my morning meals, and a couple times a week I will have a profile pizza at lunch...I mainly stick with chocolate shakes (hot with tea in the morning), cold blended with ice and PB Powder at night. And a rotation of vegetables...brussel sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, romaine, spinach, snap peas, carrots, celery, broccoli slaw, etc. And a rotation of dinner proteins...chicken, turkey burger, steak, hamburger, and pork. When we eat out it is usually Red Robin(lettuce wrap turkey burger with unlimited broccoli), Planet Sub(Romaine wrap with no cheese), or a Salad from somewhere.

Hubby and I have said in the last couple of nights we need to get back to a menu planning and increase the desirability of our dinners. Kids think so too...as we have been eating off the same rotisserie chicken for 4 days now.  

Well...that's about all I have for today! Stay with it, stay away from those cheats/sneaks/bites, DRINK YOUR WATER!

Weight loss: - 62.93

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
