Profile by Sanford Month 13

I have given up on counting days.
I have also stopped trying to hit that 100 l.b. mark. I am comfortable where I am. It took me a month or two to realize that I didn't have to hit a certain number to be successful. What I need to be is healthy and comfortable in my own skin(even if it's all saggy and gross now;)

So my coach and I made the decision to move to Step 2 of the Adapt Stage.  I should not expect to lose any more weight on this. Instead this is preparing my body for weaning off the product on to all grocery store foods.
This step limits my profile product to 1 meal replacement and 2 bars a day. It also added an additional starch and an additional fruit and an additional fat. I also get more protein oz per day.

I have to say that this is hard. After a YEAR of following the same routine with Profile product, I now have to really think about what I am going to eat next. And I have to be aware that if I have a starch early in the day that I can not have one at lunch AND dinner. For example. This morning I had steel cut oats for breakfast and then I had one slice of whole grain bread at lunch. So that's it I am done. NO starches for dinner. I also did NOT have a meal replacement for breakfast, and that is hard to give up. I hope that as the weather gets warmer that I will not miss my hot shake with tea in the morning.

I have also eaten off plan more in the last two weeks than I have in the last year. So it is no surprise that the scale has crept back up. I also have only done yoga this week and have not done my regular exercise routine monday, tuesday, or wednesday. I had terrible shin splints last week and tweaked my knee jumping over a railing over the weekend. I promised my coach that I would start doing some strength training this week, while my walking posse is in Florida. But I have been "catching up" on sleep instead.

I really feel that this blog (and my lack of keeping up with it) might be part of my motivation. If I am not writing down what I am eating and when/if I am exercising, I am less likely to hold myself accountable.
So I really need to set aside more time for myself to write AND exercise.
Hopefully the new job will be less overwhelming soon and I can get back into my routine.

Until then...

yesterday I had:

Shake/Tea
Bar
Salad with low fat/greek yogurt Chicken salad serving with 1 slice of cheese and raisin bread and mixed green salad and a Pluot (look it up...they are YUMMY)
1/2 banana
Pasta(Profile) Carbonara (peas, egg, bacon)
Bar & celery/PBP

Exercise: 50 mins of Yoga

Gained 4lbs this week. Time to get my arse in gear!
Weight: - 93.8

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 Day 8

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

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
