New Food:
Hubby made me a "SANDWICH" last night. It was a spoof on IKEA's new salmon sandwich. He made me a "Bun" out of two Profile Pancakes. Which meant I needed to hold off on one of my meal replacements during the day. It was fine...I had celery and PB Powder PB instead. The sandwich was yummy. BBQ'd smoked salmon, veggie slaw (broccoli slaw mix with FF Miracle Whip and honey mustard), and sliced beets.

Challenges:
Well you have heard(seen?) me bitch and moan about the Upper Respiratory Infection for weeks now. I made it through my antibiotics and other than the plateau on the scale, no real issues. We except for the sharp pain in my lung when walking with the ladies. Well...that didn't go away. So I decided to do something more low key and went to a Yoga class yesterday instead. (Well, to be honest, my PLAN was to do both...but thunderstorms and both kids waking me up during the night made my 5:30am alarm laughable.) Anyway, I digress...I attended a Yoga class over lunch and on two separate occurrences, I had to sit down, because I was starting to black out. So after that I decided...it's time to call the doctor. Of course one of the ladies I have been walking with has me convinced that I have Lung Cancer...but that is just my paranoia reeling its ugly head. So I snagged a doctor appointment yesterday afternoon. I had a chest x-ray that was clear and my doc prescribed 5 days of steroid and twice a day inhaler to try to open up my airways. Saying it is common after a URI to have a delay in the lungs inflammation returning to normal. I am to take it "easy" and call her by the end of the week if my symptoms have "vastly" improved. Called it: Reactive Airway Disease. It can be confused with Asthma...but it's slightly different somehow.  So more to come on that...

NSV:
SOOO many clothes including (very expensive) bras going into the donation pile...I have held on to so many things thinking I could just wear a belt...but it didn't occur to me what things would look like belted or that don't HAVE belt loops.
I am also trying to wear every skirt I own between now and the time the weather changes. Everyone at work is like..."WTH?"(as I have NEVER been a skirt wearer in the past.)

SV:
down and up...but mostly down :) : - 71.09

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
