UGHHHH I am sick...I hate being sick. And it's the virus that my little "petri dish of a kid" tested positive for right before I started my new job. I have not exercised in over 5 days, I have been trying hard to eat on plan but still using the BRAT diet. A lot of chicken soup and toast with very few vegetables...just can't stomach them. At least the shakes made hot are soothing on my throat. Its weird though. Some hours I am starving and can eat a regular meal with no problem...and then other parts of the day tea and honey are all I can handle. It comes in waves.

Well enough of my bitching...we all get sick from time to time.

It's whether I sit back and feel sorry for myself and gorge on comfort foods...or if I still try to eat decently, while getting some nutrition. I did have a terrible cupcake for said Petri Dish's 2nd birthday. I don't know why I thought THAT would be a good idea! That amount of sugar makes me feel like crap...and I know that ahead of time...but I still do it to myself...why am I such a masochist?!?!

So food has been a joke. Exercise has been non-existent

...so weight...almost back down to my all time low: - 95.1
Make sense? No...but as I have been saying and posting a lot lately on the Profile FB pages...weight loss/gain is not an immediate gratification type thing...this past week's slow down could show up on the scale later this week into next. What I ate yesterday hasn't even been completely digested yet. How could it be stored on my thighs and ass yet? Hence the cliche...it isn't a sprint...its a marathon.

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
