Challenges:
Still Sick and now the whole family is sick. I have been noticing that I must have been a stress eater without realizing it. As I was having some strong cravings tonight while dealing with these two cranky kids on my own. I really wanted a sweet treat to sit down and enjoy in silence by myself. But that wasn't going to happen. Instead both kids fell asleep in my bed while I waited "patiently" for hubby to get home and move them. I must have been one of those people who used food for everything. Stress, Celebrations, Rewards, etc. And wasn't conscious of it. I always tried to watch for things like that...but I somehow was unable to see it.

The one thing that this plan has done for me is to make me more self aware. Once I got over the original feeling of being hungry all the time...I have started to really be able to see patterns. Any sort of cheat with a carb has made me soooo much more hungry for more carbs. Maybe not at first...but after those initial carbs have been processed by my body...the body craves more. I had read that before...but I don't think I put 2 and 2 together because it wasn't immediate. It's not like I would eat a sub sandwich and immediately crave more. I would be full. But what I didn't realize was that the NEXT DAY...the cravings would come and last several days. So every time I ate carbs, I would extend the cravings another few days...and it would just be a constant feeling that I no longer recognized as a craving.

Weight: Forgot to weigh this morning....

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
