So I have been MIA for quite some time.
The Holidays...
Left one job...
Went on a vacation to Sedona, AZ...
Had/have a sick kiddo...
Started a new job...

So I have let life take over...and the scale shows it. Now I really shouldn't get too down on myself. I gained over 3 lbs...but I drank SO MUCH wine on my trip that I am very surprised I didn't gain 10lbs. So the last 4-5days, I have been hard core about getting in my 10,000 steps. And trying my damnedest to stay on plan nutritionally.
One thing that I have tried to tell other people...but no one really gets it..is that splurging doesn't show up on the scale the "next day." I got back from Sedona and the scale the next morning was almost exactly as when I left. But the next day it was up a lb. And then 3 days later it was up 2 more lbs...so the splurging I had done is Sedona had taken about 5 whole days to show up on the scale. When I did weight watchers a few years ago, they said this is how weight gain/loss works. And I have been exercising my ass off/and eating on plan the last 6 days and haven't seen any movement on the scale. But I think by the end of this week or beginning of next I will. That is why they say consistency. Because the scale and the behavior are not hand in hand. Also why people get frustrated and quit diets so much. They think if they are really good one day that they should see the results the next. Instant gratification this is NOT! And everyone's metabolism is different. Maybe it takes 5 days for me to see it...but maybe you have a faster metabolism and you see a change within 48 hours.

Another challenge today...taken to lunch with two people from my new job and we were "researching" a team builder venue. I thought the lunch was being paid for by the company and the other two decided to order off a menu that came with a play card for the games offered...my only "healthy" option was a steak with salad and au gratin potatoes. I only had about 5 bites of potatoes and will count it as my starch for the day. But the dressing on the salad and the butter and cheese on the potatoes should wipe out all of my fats for the day for SURE!

Exercise:
Walking every morning since last week Thursday...that is 6 days in a ROW!!

Weight:
Back up liked described: - 92.9 up 3.5lbs from the day I left for my trip...which was the lowest I ever was.

Back on track...

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
