WOW what a long time I have gone without a single post!
Soooo Sorrry! Lots has happened though. Halloween was the WORST...candy, cupcakes, more cupcakes, did I mention CANDY...chocolate, peanut butter...the whole damn shebang!

But get this...the week of Halloween was one of my biggest LOSES week yet. I lost 3.1 pounds between 10/28 and 11/4. I think I guilted myself into exercising a TON more due to missing several workout sessions previously and knowing that bites of kids cupcakes and candy were going to be my demise. Two separate neighbors brought us 4 cupcakes each!!!Technically only the 6yo should be eating all 8 cupcakes...I think my husband and I have had enough bites each to where we have consumed 1 each. The baby is only 21 months and should not be having this kind of sugar. I think she has only had the frosting off of 1/2 a cupcake.
I told the 6yo that the 2-3 left are going in the trash tonight...as I can no longer handle them sitting there.

One of the same neighbors also baked fresh scones and brought over 1 of each flavor for the "kids" to try....ughhhh I love this woman as a friend...but she is "Killing me, Smalls!" And yes I had a bite of each of those too.

My meeting with my coach last Friday got me $3 dollars off of product from bringing in our extra candy and donating it to military personnel.We also took a deep dive into ADAPT phase. She said she thought I was ready (13 lbs from goal). But that I needed to be mentally ready and be okay with POSSIBLY losing that last 13lbs slower than before. And be prepared for a possible jump up once I start introducing the starches. She said other people take to ADAPT and lose at the same rate...everyone is different. This is not a one size fits all program.

I left the meeting with my coach VERY excited to eat a piece of fruit!!! I could careless about the extra protein, fat, and starch. I drove right to Whole Foods and bought honeycrisp apples. I had told myself that I was going to slowly transition into adapt. Add the fruit, then a week later, swap the meal replacement with a protein, then swap another meal replacement with a bar, and then add in the extra fat, then add in the starch. But that didn't happen. I dabbled in some higher carb veggies (carrots and sugar snap peas) over the weekend and took bites of aforementioned unapproved scones and counted that as my starter starches.

Today I have jumped into ADAPT whole hog...

Started with my chai tea and chocolate shake
Had my profile pomegranate green tea with LaCroix
Had my 1st bar
Lunch was FF Cottage Cheese, carrots, sugar snap peas, and pistachios.
I plan to have some celery with PBP and my 2nd bar on the drive home...
And dinner is TBD (but my plan will allow for a protein, 2 veggies, 2 fats)...I just don't even have a clue as to what to have!! I guess I can't have another starch since I had snap peas/carrots for lunch...but honestly I have been having snap peas and/or carrots as a veggie a couple times of week for a while now. Which might be why my loss has slowed...it's that sad...SNAP PEAS might be the reason I am not losing weight!?!?!
Will end the night with my frozen blended shake.

Weight loss total: - 86.1

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
