Profile by Sanford Days 311-315

Last Thursday morning after walking with my neighbor, I felt extremely sluggish. Something was just not right. When I came inside, I sat in the bathroom for a while thinking I was going to throw up. After a while I took a shower and then laid down on my bed, still in a towel, and passed out for like 2.5 hours. It was very bizarre. I had even eaten a little bit before my walk so as not to have a grumbling stomach during the walk...not sure if that was the cause or a medication/vitamin timing was off, or I was fighting(and maybe won) a bug coming on.

I felt pretty low about my first week on adapt...weight seemed to hold steady and then jump up a little. But these last two days it seems to be trending down again. So my spirits are up leading into Thanksgiving week.
I hope to walk a little extra on Wed, Thurs, and Fri of this week. Also my goal for Thanksgiving is to focus on veggies and faux fixings found on the Profile Recipies page. My mother is coming today and I hope that she will help me stay on track. I would really like to finish this marathon by Christmas.

I accidently ate two servings of Fruit on Saturday. I had a couple slices of apples and dried cranberries in my chicken salad sandwich at lunch after forgetting that I had already had 1/2 a banana in a shake in the morning. Oh well, I could have done much, MUCH worse with brownies still in the house getting stale.

My daily starch has consistently been a sandwich thin. Though on Sunday, I don't think I had one at all now that I think about it. I had soup and salad for lunch and steak and green beans for dinner. Hmmm...well there ya go, I evened myself out over the weekend. Man, I don't even think I had a fruit on Sunday either now that I think about it. No wonder I was starving by dinner. Ohhh I think I will count the Halo Top scoop of ice cream I had as one carb. Even though it is low carb.

Exercise: I was off work on Friday and still not feeling 100%...so I did not walk Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Not sure if I mentioned it, but I did start wearing wrist weights on my walk to help with the arm flab:)!

Weight: - 88.1 Only 11.7 to go for goal. I am starting to actually get excited now that I can see a light at the end of the tunnel!

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
