- 70.42
It has arrived....that damn elusive 70 mark!!!!
I hit 69 over 2 weeks ago....so that two week plateau had been driving me NUTZ!!
I also walked again this morning! Trying to kick start my arse into gear.

New Food:
We tried a new place for lunch on Sunday called Zoe's Kitchen. LOTS of healthier options. Will be our new "go-to" place from now on. The options that are low carb AND fat are limited. But it will be the perfect place when we are both on stage 2 and 3.

Challenges:
Getting up nearly 2 hours earlier to walk with the neighbor ladies has added a hunger challenge to the equation. So my "new" schedule had me pushing breakfast back to 9:30am so I don't get so hungry in the afternoons...But now after being awake at 5:30am...I am STARVING by 7:30am. I snacked on some of my lunch veggies on the drive in this morning...which helped a bit. But I will need to back even more veggie snacks the rest of the week AND reevaluate my schedule. I may need to back it up an hour and do a bit longer after lunch...since lunch usually includes veggies AND a meal replacement maybe I need to break those up into 2 separate "meals/feedings."

NSW:
We had friends over for a "playdate" on Saturday and I put out a whole spread of snacks including veggies and a dip I made that mixed FF sour cream and an Avocado Bolthouse Dressing. Pretty good. I warned the other moms that I didn't have any "Mommy Juice" in the house, so to BYOB...but neither did. So that was awesome not to have that temptation. It felt really good to reconnect with friends that I hadn't seen socially in a long time.

I received my first order of clothes that were what I refer to as "normal" (though that isn't right, I know) sizes...i.e. not PLUS sizes. I have an ladies XL and L shirts and a pair of leggings. It felt really awesome to wear something that size.

Weight: Already discussed that...but I am pretty stoked about finally hitting that. Now I must keep it rolling!!

I would like to hit the 100 mark by Thanksgiving! That is only 11-ish weeks away! Which means 3 lbs a week!

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
