Profile by Sanford Day 153-154

Monday:
Lunch: Work Cafeteria Salad
Dinner: Planut Sub Lettuce Wrap

Tuesday:
Lunch:Whole Foods Food Bar Veggies
Dinner: Meatball Lettuce Wraps and Snap peas

Plus 4 daily shakes and bar

Challenges: With all of the stuff going on at the house...I am not very prepared for what to do about lunches and dinners when I am on a tight schedule or not allowed home to cook. I have been doing pretty well at finding alternatives to my easy fall back lunches and dinner at places that I can still feed people food to my kids. I totally get why so many families use drive thrus on a regular basis. You HAVE to feed your kids...and though not a good choice...sometimes you don't have much of a choice. I need to open up a drive thru with tasty healthy options...I would be millionaire.

I know 'unforked' has tried this in the past...but I need options that my toddler and picky 6 year old would eat. I can see the commercial now. Frazzled mom...driving between work, daycare, soccer practice. A crying hungry baby screaming in the backseat.  Older kid begging for chicken nuggets and fries AGAIN!! Mental imagery of obese epidemic in America...vs. imagery of kids throwing/turning nose up at green things to eat... Then fast/good food restaurant Logo pops up in Mom's imagery. Kid's choices are thru the roof. They can decide between the baked jicama fries or the zucchini chips.

Food: I had forgotten about Whole Food's food bar. So that will be my new go to place when I can't get home to make lunch/dinner.

Weight: Still chugging away. I added another 15lbs to my goal...so instead of shooting for 85lbs...I am going to go for the whole 100lbs.   - 52.35

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...

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...

Sanford by Profile Day 19

I made a deal with my counselor not to weigh in everyday as it toys with one's emotions. I successfully did NOT weigh myself this morning! Meals 1&2: Breakfast was the doubled up Strawberry with PB powder and spinach shake. Meal 3: Lunch was Broccoli/Laughing cow cheese soup and spinach/carrot/cucumbers salad. Meal 4: I tried the Chocolate Almond Bar...again pleasantly surprised..and my fiber drink with sparkling water. Meal 5: For dinner Eric made Romaine lettuce wrapped turkey burgers with 1 laughing cow cheese, ketchup, saute'd onions, a dab of  miracle whip light, and a broccoli and carrot slaw made with a sauce of yogurt dressing, poppy seed dressing, lemon juice, and I think FF sour cream. It was pretty yummy. Meal 6: I made a frozen chocolate shake and topped it with some FF whipped topping. Eric had to make a stop at the Profile store for me yesterday because I miscalculated the number of shakes I needed this week...so I sent him in to pick me up another cou...
