Food:
Dinner on Wednesday: Steak and Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar
Lunch on Thursday: Had a work event that served lunch...Had too many burger/sliders wrapped in lettuce and tomatoes and cheese.

Challenges: Lunch that was served on Thursday included fried chicken tenders, fried chicken fillet sandwiches, potato chips, filled donut holes, tortilla chips with queso dip, Guacamole, and salsa, and beers.
This was probably one of the hardest events I have been too...sooo little to choose from. THE ONLY vegetables were the lettuce and tomatoes meant for the sliders. I loaded my plate with lettuce and a few tomatoes and made essentially lettuce wraps. But they were small and two was not enough. When everyone else was snacking on nachos and donut holes...I went back for two more sliders. Probably more than my allotted ounces...

Exercise: I walked Wednesday and Thursday morning and did the under desk elliptical on Wednesday. After talking with my coach on Thursday, I decided to take a break from my morning walks for the weekend starting Friday. I just am too tired.

We also talked about my eating schedule...when I walk in the morning I am going close to 4 hours before having anything to eat/drink (with the exception of water). She suggested that I alter this to have some sort of boost of protein early in the morning. We talked about ways to pull from later in the day or spread out the meals. What seems to be my best option is to pull an ounce or two of lean or extra lean protein from my dinner and have it right after my walk. OR have a shake right after my walk and then save that 1 or 2 oz of lean protein for later in the day when I get hungry between meals. We talked about real hunger queues vs emotional hunger queues. I think on the days that I am home...weekends and days I work from home, I will make an egg. Then on the days I go to work I will keep a container of FF cottage cheese at work. She says having some protein first thing in the morning may boost my metabolism. I slept in this morning so I will have to wait to try this approach if I walk on Sat or Sun, else it won't be until Monday.

Weight: heading in the right direction a bit :) : - 76.82

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
