Food:
Last night we tried a new place to eat...we have been watching this place like a HAWK...willing it to open ASAP. And it finally opened on Monday, so we tried it for dinner on Tuesday.
http://www.musclemakergrill.com/
Its tagline is "Great Food with your Health in Mind"
With a name like Muscle Marker...I was hoping that it would be EXACTLY what we needed to stick to Plan. But unfortunately...just like Zoe's Kitchen...even though it is LOW carb...almost everything is still wrapped in a Tortilla or made with some sort of grain/rice/whole wheat pasta. I settled for one of their Salads...I was pretty bummed that I STILL had to order a salad. And right now looking at the nutritional facts this Lean & Mean Salad had an asstonishing 41gs of fat...I am not even sure how that is possible? The sprinkling of (REDUCED FAT)cheese was WAY less that the .75 ozs in our allowed cheese serving. The Premium ground beef must have had a pretty high fat %. Next time I will try the Tuscany or the Turkey Taco Salad.

Challenges: So I have bitched about the food hell that I work in...now the baked goods lady is jealous of my weight loss...so she saw a health coach at work and they told her to get rid of all the crap at her desk...so in the break room I had to side step Reese Peanut Butter PUMPKINS...the BIGGG ones. The RPC on steroids...my ultimate kryptonite. I stopped by her desk to give her as much grief as I could!
THEN THEN THEN...this morning... I walk into work to THIS:

Incase you can't tell...this is TWO 10lb bars of chocolate. I am less than 10 feet away from 20lbs of chocolate for what sounds like several months....as they did this last year too. I am seriously considering taking another job with another company just to get out of this food hellhole. F%$&)(&#$  BAS^$)%&)$(!

NSV: On the brighter side...I am wearing...get this....A MEDIUM sized dress. A F&)*)#($* MEDIUM. Never in my life EVER would I have thought I would be in anything smaller than an XL.

Weight: Starting to see movement!- 78.58

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
