Profile by Sanford Day 220-224

I am not really sure what happened last week...I blogged for Monday and Tuesday and then the rest of the week I just didn't have my act together. I will blame the fact that it was the first few days of school for the 1st grader...but truthfully that wasn't all that time consuming for me! I think part of it was my weigh-ins flat lining. My coach assured me that it very well could be the medication I am on, as antibiotics will cause weight gain or make it hard to lose weight.

As far as food goes...I stayed on plan and had my normal rotation...but I did try something new on Saturday. The hubby bought the girls these "Frozen" frozen bags of cheesy pasta and peas. And it kicked up my Mac and Cheese craving. So here is what I tried to do to handle that. I used those 5 calorie soy noodles (like the ones Profile sells...but he bought them at Whole Foods) and all of my fat servings for the day in shredded and LF laughing cow cheese...the flavor was EXACTLY what I wanted...the TEXTURE on the other hand was NOT....oooohhh so rubbery. Like "crunchy rubbery". I described it to my hubby like..."the reason I don't like calamari...because the first time I had it it wasn't cooked properly..." and was a similar texture. He tried a bite of the leftovers and concurred....not something he would eat again. I told him that if I took small spoonfuls and swallowed the noodles whole...it was fine. So maybe next time I will attempt this with Profile's littlest "rice" noodles that way there will be little to no chewing involved.

As far as hunger goes...I am having a more difficult time between lunch and dinner with only a bar halfway in between. I get pretty hangry in the afternoons. I am trying to elongate my morning meals so that I am not going such a long time without a full meal/meal replacement.

Old Schedule:
8am: Shake
10am: Shake or Profile Cereal
Noon: Lunch veggies and shake
3pm: Bar
6 or 7pm: Dinner
9pm: Shake

New Schedule:
8am: Caffeinated Drink
9:30am: Shake
11:30am: Lunch veggies and shake/cereal
1:30pm: Shake
4pm: Bar
6:30: Dinner
9pm: Shake

Exercise: Saturday I swam laps during 6yo's lessons. We also went for a walk later that day. We went on a short walk on Sunday too. Hoping to get back into the early morning walks with the neighbor ladies...but they are now starting at 5:15am....I couldn't even get out of bed at 7am this morning!

Weight: Finally trending down...back down to what I was 10 DAYS ago: - 69.32

How frustrating to feel like 10 days worth of antibiotics kept me from losing weight...

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
