Food Consumption...
I went off plan again...what is wrong with me?!?! We have such wonderfully sweet new neighbors...bringing goodies by to welcome us. First the chocolate chip cookie bars...I had one a week ago. Then on Friday, our next door neighbors stopped by with a FRESH, SOFT loaf of homemade honey oat bread. It was the most amazing thing ever! I tried really hard not to have any. We very rarely even have bread in the house. We will buy a package of hamburger buns and keep them in the freezer for the kids when we have burgers. My oldest was so excited for this gift of a loaf of bread she asked for a PBand J right then and there. How could I say "no"? The poor girl has had to put up with our lack of bread in the house. It's not to say we have made her go carb free...she still has tons of different kinds of fruits, berries, and cereal for breakfast. We do have tortillas pretty often too.
Anyway back to this bread. I made them each a half sandwich...but I ended up eating half of the babies half...and OMG, I can't believe how long it's been since I had bread. And this bread was perfect and amazing...and though it has thrown my weight loss in a frenzy again...it was almost worth it. But the fact that my weight in the last 2-3 weeks has been so up and down(and more up than down), I need to get serious again. I have to start working out...and stop going off plan. I was on such a great trajectory. I am not sure why I am giving into so many temptations and sabotaging myself. I think it's also because I am seeing my husband go off plan all the time. I am pretty sure he has eaten over half of the cookie bars and the loaf of bread from the neighbors. Not to mention other cookies and treats we keep on hand for the kids. I find wrappers everywhere and I get jealous that he can eat this crap and keep his weight under control. He likes to remind me a lot that he gets over 10,000 steps in every day without trying. I get that. But I don't want to drop $80 a week on Profile Product for him to just stay even while eating loafs of bread and cookies.

Challenges: We had our first dinner party at our house last night. My hubs made steak, scallops, Brussel sprouts, spinach and arugula salad with goat cheese and citrus fruits, and corn on the cob. I was able to pick off the fruit from the salad and feed it to the kids, and I was able to pass on the corn. He also made smores for the kids and guests. Successful "on-plan" meal. But since there were 4 adults and 3 kids...and I need 4-5oz of meat...I don't think we made enough food. I was still hungry and luckily since I missed my bar in the afternoon, was able to have a bar and a shake before bed to satiate me.

So you heard it here first. July was a wash...I lost 5.73 pounds this month. So August I am going hardcore again. No more off plan foods. Walking at lunch. Water, Water, Water. There are also neighbors that walk in the morning...I need to attempt to start doing that this month. I can't keep up this spiral.

Exercise...other than still trying to get the house in order, cleaning, and my new standing desk at work...I have not made a very good effort in the exercise department.
So month of August....
Week one: Exercise once
Week two: Exercise twice
Week three: Exercise thrice
Week four: Exercise 4Xs
Plan it...put it on my calendar. If it's hot...do something inside(yoga, PlayStation Move, Setup the heavy bag and punch/kickbox away) If it's okay outside...walk...walk in the early AM....it will give you more energy in the morning...I will need less caffeine to get my arse in gear.

Can you tell I am having trouble motivating myself?!?

Weight...still hovering....- 62.27

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
