Food
Wednesday for lunch I had a lunch to attend at a BBQ joint. It wasn't on the menu but I asked if I could get a side salad as one of my sides. They were happy to oblige.  So I had (probably too much) brisket, pulled pork, and burnt ends with a side salad and green beans.

Last night for dinner I made roasted squash and zucchini and cheesy chicken sausage. I threw my leftover profile noodles on top and  was pretty excited about the meal

Challenges
I had a meeting over lunch yesterday where the host of the meeting graciously ordered sandwiches from Jimmy Johns. I had to lie and say I ate before the meeting. But was starving by the time I got to my real lunch.
Eating at a BBQ place is hard....white bread, cheesy corn and mac and cheese...

Musings:
Do you ever find yourself judging other people's food choices, now?  I was at lunch with another friend who had a couple years ago gotten the gastric by-pass sleeve. She lost a TON of weight and looks great...but she orders mac and cheese and onion rings with her lunch. I just feel sad for her that if she eats like that...how long will her weight loss last? I have NEVER EVER been one to judge what people eat...and I know that I will never want to become one of those judgy skinny people. But now that I know the "secret" and have begun the journey to eating healthier...I just want to tell everyone else that it is possible! But I know that it would not come across right...so I will of course keep my mouth shut and keep myself in check.

Exercise:
Got up and walked Thursday morning. My phone even said we hit 10,000 steps by the time we got home...I am not sure that is possible as we were only gone about...well maybe we were gone 2 hours...yikes! and SWEET!

Weight: no change: - 74.61

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
