Food:
Dinner 
Monday Night: Braised Short Rib, Cauliflower Mash, and Green Beans
Tuesday Night: Grilled Chicken, Broccoli Slaw, and Butternut Squash Lettuce Wraps with BBQ/Mustard sauces.

Challenges: I know I have bitched about this before...but getting up so early and exercising is making me HUNGRY!! Waking at 5:30 and not eating until 9:30 is torturous. I think I am going to have to adjust my schedule a little bit. This whole schedule thing is just driving me nuts...if I eat too early in the AM, I am HANGRY in the afternoon. If I eat too late in the morning...I am dragging and cranky in the morning. But I do need to do a better job of spacing things out. Last night for dinner I was not at all hungry and only ate part of my dinner. I ended up eating the rest AND my last meal replacement at like 9:30pm. 

Current Schedule: (not exact based on meetings and kids schedules...but close)
8am - Caffeine
9:30 - Meal Replacement
11:30 - Veggies and meal replacement
1:30 - Meal Replacement
4pm - Bar
6:30pm - Dinner
9pm - Meal Replacement. 

I think I can separate the 2 hour blocks in the afternoon and do 2.5 hour blocks instead. 

7:30am - Caffeine
9am -  Meal Replacement
11:30 - Veggies and meal replacement
2pm - Meal Replacement
4:30pm - Bar
7pm - Dinner
9:30pm - Meal Replacement.

Exercise: Have walked in the AM Monday, Tuesday and today. We do 2.67-2.8 miles. My under desk Elliptical arrived and I set it up yesterday!! I am happily pedalling along as I type. I set it up yesterday afternoon and had over 3000 "steps" in it by the end of the day. I can't wear my shoes on it or I will hit my knees on the dest. But other than that I think I will love it. My fitness tracker also doesn't "count" these steps as my arms are not moving...but I will see if I can somehow add it in as a separate" work out"


Weight: STILL no movement..- 75.5 .I have officially plateaued. Three weeks of losing and gaining the same 2 lbs. What happens when I do ever switch to adapt? What am I doing wrong!?! I have my meeting with my coach tomorrow...and believe you me...this will be talked about at length. So I will let you know what she says.

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
