Challenges:
Still Sick and now the whole family is sick. I have been noticing that I must have been a stress eater without realizing it. As I was having some strong cravings tonight while dealing with these two cranky kids on my own. I really wanted a sweet treat to sit down and enjoy in silence by myself. But that wasn't going to happen. Instead both kids fell asleep in my bed while I waited "patiently" for hubby to get home and move them. I must have been one of those people who used food for everything. Stress, Celebrations, Rewards, etc. And wasn't conscious of it. I always tried to watch for things like that...but I somehow was unable to see it.

The one thing that this plan has done for me is to make me more self aware. Once I got over the original feeling of being hungry all the time...I have started to really be able to see patterns. Any sort of cheat with a carb has made me soooo much more hungry for more carbs. Maybe not at first...but after those initial carbs have been processed by my body...the body craves more. I had read that before...but I don't think I put 2 and 2 together because it wasn't immediate. It's not like I would eat a sub sandwich and immediately crave more. I would be full. But what I didn't realize was that the NEXT DAY...the cravings would come and last several days. So every time I ate carbs, I would extend the cravings another few days...and it would just be a constant feeling that I no longer recognized as a craving.

Weight: Forgot to weigh this morning....

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...
