Profile by Sanford Day 331-332

Food:
Lots of red meat lately. Trying to get over the sugar intake and need the iron for energy. The lethargy took 3 days to get over. Had steak for lunch and dinner(i think) on Monday, eggs for lunch on Tuesday,  and roast beef for dinner on Tuesday. Also took my vitamin B-6 and B-12 this morning to kick the slothness.

The sugar withdrawal made me so hungry on Monday and Tuesday. I tried to curb the hunger with a SF Jello and FF Whipped Cream on Monday and on Tuesday I saved a fat and my fruit and had it as a mini meal when I was "starving." That seemed to help.

I need to get in the habit of NOT eating everything I brought for lunch AT lunch time. I just had another steak salad...and I COULD have celery with PB Powder PB or the apple, or the slice of bread/cheese that I brought. Or I could recognize that the salad was pretty filling in the short term and SAVE my additional veggie, fruit, starch for the afternoon when I am starving waiting for my next bar. It might also have helped that I found an old packet of the Profile Fiber drink mix in my purse and decided to "make it a double" with my Profile Pomegranate Green tea and my 3 cans of LaCroix. 36 oz +(cuz the cup was also full of ice) down before lunch.

Exercise:
Got up and walked with the ladies yesterday and again this morning. It was sooo cold this morning and I didn't wear enough pairs of socks. I cut the walk short when my toes went from hurting to not being able to feel them any longer. I thought I had a package of hand/toe warmers in the garage near my "walking gear"...but I was OH SO WRONG. I told my neighbor that since it was going to be even colder tomorrow that I probably will skip...I mean I want to be healthier and finish this weight race...but not at the expense of my toes.

It is currently snowing in my city right now. First snow of the season...and if you ask me...hopefully the LAST. My coach encouraged me to start strength training a couple of days a week in place of the cardio. I should start that tomorrow since I don't want to walk outside!!! If the kids go to bed on time tonight, I can maybe get the heavy bag stand set up and pull out some of our hand weights and resistance bands. Okay...goal set.

Weight: truckin' right along  - 92.7

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
