Profile by Sanford Days 327-330

Food: I have been seriously undermining my progress. Baked goods and other Holiday "baking" (I use quotes because the closest I get to baking is BUYING a gingerbread house kit and decorating it) have had me tasting and taking bites of way too many sugary treats. And I can feel the effects. I have been extremely lethargic.
I have tried to stay true to the plan for everything else. I since I had too much sugar Sat and Sun, I limited my starch intake at my meals. Probably not coach approved to do so...but it made sense to me. If I had cookie frostings and bites of my kids cookies...I probably shouldn't have any potatoes or bread for dinner.

Exercise: I have felt the effects of the sugar to the point that I walked over 15,000 steps on Friday and then on Sat, Sun, and Mon I have been too tired to do ANYTHING. My step counts this weekend (and probably today too) will only average around 5000.

So my attempt to go 1 week without any cheats lasted less than 24 hours:)
Where has my will power gone?
Hitting my goal by Christmas doesn't seem as plausible now. I also would like to not have to re-up for another year of membership when my Profile year is up on Jan 13th. So I really need to get in gear so I can get to Maintenance Stage by the end of the year.

It has been soooo cold and I have been sooo tired that getting up at 5:00am has been laughable.
I WILL get up tomorrow....and Wednesday, and Thursday, and Friday AND SATURDAY. I must exercise at LEAST 4 days a week. And the days I don't I need to use my under desk elliptical religiously. Which reminds me....peddle peddle peddling now.

Hungry now...off to find myself a bar and get motivated to do some work today.

Weight: - 91.1

8.9 to go!!!! Let's do this! Stop Sabotaging Yourself. It wasn't even GOOOOD frosting...it was the crappy powdered sugar-runny kind. You don't even LIKE that kind of Frosting That Much.

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
