Coach moved me to Adapt stage 2 last week.
I get a second starch and second fruit and additional protein and minus a MR.

I wasn't super thrilled about making the move knowing I would get one less of my shakes...I have been so dependent on them...even crave them at times. For those of you just starting out...I know that seems unfathomable ... but I promise if you can make those few alterations to your favorite MR to make it just so yummy...you will get to this point probably too!

I also wasn't thrilled about moving as I was still shy of my 100 L - b mark. I really wanted to be able to say I lost 100 lbs. I have come soooo very close a couple of times. 99.something a couple times...including today. 99.7...closest ever. But I was told to expect fluctuation when changing stages...and not to get hung up on the number. I am one step away from Maintenance mode...and I should not expect to lose anything at this point...but I have a little. I think if I keep my exercise up I maybe able to hit that number.

Food has been such a challenge at this point. I feel once in awhile that I am done, I can have a treat once in awhile...but that is probably why I have not hit that goal yet either. As we speak there is someone's birthday cookie cake(my Kryptonite) less than 30 feet from my desk.

I was also the GS cookie mom this year and had over 68 CASES go through my hands. But I am proud to say that I have not opened a single box of cookies yet. I am waiting until everything is DONE DONE with the cookie deliveries and money collection. Then I am going to do something I was told on this plan to stop doing. Treat myself with a cookie and a glass of wine. Stop using food as a reward. But I am going to be super conscientious about it, I hope.

Today I had
PB Powder PB Steel Cut Oats with Almond Milk, cinnimon and a little honey
1 Pluot
1 bar
Roast beef and brussel sprouts
2 mini cucumbers with boathouse dip and Greek Yogurt cream cheese
Whisps
Exercise this week: Sunday: 15,718 Steps(some jogging) and 18 floors climbed
                                Monday: 10,329 Steps and 22 floors climbed
                                Tuesday: Still early 9296 Steps and 9 floors climbed

Weight (lowest yet) - 99.7

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

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
