Profile by Sanford Day 208-210


Food:
On Sunday Hubby was making pancakes for the kiddos for breakfast. I attempted and did pretty well at mimicking his creation. I used a Profile pack of pancake mix, added a scoop of PB Powder, and one scoop of Profile chocolate shake mix. I also added about half a pack of Stevia sweetener. I used a waffle iron instead of pancakes. I did use yogurt based butter spread and some maple syrup as they were still very dry...but man, did it ever feel like I was having a real Sunday breakfast with the family. I used the rest of the packet of shake to make my morning tea and shake mix and also started making and drinking fruit(oranges and limes) infused water. It wasn't orange juice...but it still gave me that citrus flavor that I was missing. I am sure I could have added the rest of the stevia to it to make it more like limeade...but I didn't think of that until just now!
I took some alone time on Sunday to do back to school shopping. So I missed lunch...but had ice water, a shake packet and a bar with me so I would get hangry...I just had a salad in the afternoon instead of the bar.

Challenges: I am still battling this cold...coughing and now it has seemed to settle in my eyes. I wake up with red eyes that are gooped over...This always happens to the baby...I have never had this except once when I had pink eye...ahhh crap, I probably have pink eye. My goal for week one of August was to work out once. Being sick has left me less than motivated. Yesterday I was feeling a bit better and baby was not...so we put her to bed early and I did some yoga while watching the olympics. I tried to watch a youTube yoga video...but the dang things wouldn't load...so I just winged it. I know I didn't do a very good job at getting my heart rate up...but I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to do a lot more than I ever have. Being down this weight has made it easier to hold myself up and so much more flexible.
Other challenges over the weekend have been Drive Thrus. Friday we had a frantic race to get the baby to the doctor before their office closed for the weekend...(I don't need another Urgent Care bill). Her fever was back up and she was very unhappy. Ear Infection. So after all that and getting her script...there was not much time to get home to make dinner. So Wendy's drive thru it is. I told myself I can do two salads in one day...its not the end of the world. But my God, do they have any salads that aren't covered in cheese and nuts and fruit and CORN?!?! Who puts CORN on a salad?
But I told myself this was a special circumstance, and I took the salad home and used my own Lowfat dressing.
Commercials Suck...I sooo love that almost everything we watch is DVR'd...but those rare occasions that we are watching live TV or I can't find the remote to fast forward always seem to have Pizza and Ice Cream commercials. I try to curb my pizza cravings with Profile Pizzas...but let's face it...the ONLY similarity to a real pizza is that it's hot and there is cheese on it. And Ice Cream...I can eat the crap out of a pint of Halo Top any day of the week...but that doesn't mean Dairy Queen and Baskin Robin's commercials aren't hell on earth for me. I have already picked out my birthday cake for 5 months from now...BR now has Ice Cream Pizzas...made out of a giant cookie and layers of ice cream. Man, I hope I have met my goal by then!!!

Weight: - 66.46
Turns out if you follow the plan...it works.
Down 4.2lbs this week whilst staying on plan.

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
