Food reviews: In my quest to find a way to drink more water I have tried the following "tricks" this week. I cut up oranges and limes and let them soak in a water pitcher in the fridge. Not bad...but note that letting it sit and "ferment" for nearly a week...not so great. I have also been on a quest to find a cheaper alternative to the Profile Pomegranate Green Tea. I just can't believe that I am spending the same amount on a box of this stuff as I would a box of shakes...granted there is twice as many packets...but for a freebie it is not worth it to me. So last week I bought a couple of those squeeze bottle drink flavorings. I found a more "natural" product called Stur that is made with stevia instead of sucralose. I am always on a quest to find tasty products with Stevia rather other artificial sweeteners. Finding one with CAFFEINE has been more of a challenge. I saw one in the store but it mango or peach...flavors I can't stand. I oped for a MiO Energy...even though it is made with sucralose because so is Profile's Pomegranate Green Tea...so one swapped for the other. And the price difference is  1.25 per serving versus 16 CENTS per serving. No brainer, right?


Challenges: The antibiotic I am on makes me queasy. All I want is some real ginger ale and some bread..or mac and cheese...any carbs really are my go-to for a queasy stomach....ahhh crackers!
I did get up this morning at 5:30 and walked for 45mins with the neighbor ladies. They had to walk me back home after the first 30 or so minutes because I was starting to hurt. Not my muscles...but my LUNGS...maybe I should have waited until I was further along in my antibiotic????

This week will be crazy with all of my kiddo's activities and school starting...but we have snacks prepped and ready to go for me AND them! So here's to planning ahead!

Weight: Not the direction I was hoping for....- 68.44
  Just like the elusive 20 and 50...70 is also trying to stay off the charts. I am hoping that walking more this week will put me over that hump.

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
