Food: I have to say I am starting to love eating again. An apple or half a banana feels like a treat! A SANDWICH made with a sandwich thin or 1 slice of whole grain bread is magnificent. I had no idea I missed fruit and bread this much! So hang in there peeps! When you get close to goal...eating becomes normal again. AND I am still losing. Maybe not as FAST....but I am still down 1 lb from last week and that INCLUDES Thanksgiving meal(s) and fewer exercising days.

I hope after a week of being more committed to food and exercise that I will get this last 10lbs off by the end of the year! Now I already know that I have a big holiday/birthday party coming up in 10 days...so I hope that I can loosen the reins a bit next Saturday while still being pretty tight on the reins before and after.

Challenges: I allow myself to take bites of things I really shouldn't. A bit or two of my kids rice krispie bars, and extra couple of slices of their uneaten apples or bananas...telling myself that it's okay to have "cereal" and fruit now...a little bit more than what my plan calls for isn't going to make a big difference...but it really does tend to add up.

I see on the facebook page several people doing a "No Cheat - November" or a "Don't Do It - December"...I should follow their lead and try to tighten the reins on a daily basis. So since I already know I will cheat on Dec. 10th. I am going to try to do a 1 week challenge. No cheat week. Starting tomorrow:) (Cuz I already took a bit of my kid's breakfast). Hold me to it, internets!

Weight: - 88.9

I guess now is as good a time as any to do the photos of before/during/now (after won't be until the last 10lbs are off)

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
