Went to a dog show in Glen Rose, Texas this weekend.  Took my Profile food with me and was able to stay on it even with Dog Show stress and really bad weather.

Friday and Saturday were great.  I didn’t get to eat where I planned, waited to late and Cleburne’s restaurants were slammed.  It’s about half the cost to stay 20 minutes away so I definitely did that.

I picked up a salad from Scholsky’s using their online ordering app.  

For Saturday lunch, I picked up a salad using McAllister’s onion ordering app.  

Online ordering is great because I can take my time and make sure my salad has what I need in it, and there is less room for error.

There was a Winter Weather storm alert and since the room had a refrigerator, I decided to pick up two salads.  Went to RaceTrack and they probably had a few more carbs in the dressing than I needed but they worked.

We definitely had snow on Sunday.  I got to the show site with little snow, but by the time we finished showing the roads were covered.  I went back to the hotel in Cleburne as quickly as possible.

We didn’t have as much snow in Cleburne, but I didn’t want to drive in the dark, and didn’t want to ask a delivery person to drive when I wasn’t up to it, so I grabbed dinner early.

So the grand total is 1 1/2 pounds lost over the weekend, even with limited exercise on Sunday.

The great thing was how well it worked.  I did pick up some new blender bottles from Target — they were on sale.  I only had to worry about lunch and dinner, and I have good choices now.

First, Obi and I are hanging out in Cleburn and showing in Glen Rose. He had to wake me all night but I was able to turn off the Omnipod and get it back to an decent value.  

So much better than having to eat sugar. 

I woke up incredibly stiff between the cold here — it’s in the 29 degree range, impending change of weather and low blood sugar. 

Took Obi to do his thing and eat. Came back and did the 10 minutes of Beginner Yoga with Dustin and feel better.

It’s disappointing that the hotel Fitness center is closed but this is doing fine.

I have just around 100 pounds to lose.  At 1-2 pounds a week, that means I’m eating the Profile way for the next two years.

I’ve already cleaned out the freezer.  My next move is the pantry, but I need to find a place to take the non-plan stuff.  I’ve tossed things I know other people wouldn’t want.  Half opened, etc.

Eating that way doesn’t bother me near the way Jenny Craig did.  I do 4 meal replacement shakes a day, 1 bar, and a fiber drink.  Lunch is 2 cups of veggies with 1 fat, dinner is protein, vegetables and fat.

Yeah, very little carb.

Husband and I can eat together one meal, and if he needs carbs, he knows where to find them.

Dog shows shouldn’t be bad.  I put an extra two gallons of water in the car for shakes.  Just have to find a salad or something for lunch, dinner should be salad and protein.

There was a fitness icon on the screen that I didn’t notice yesterday. 

Selecting it prompted me to confirm with my watch. 

Cycling with Greg is good.

I did a cycling workout in the gym, did two workouts this evening, strength and yoga. My only issue, I needed this in March.  

Too many maskless people at the gym. Of course, one is too many. Cleaning the equipment is a PITA, though we should have been doing that all along. 

I like the pool but it literally takes forever to dry my hair when I don’t use my Dyson and it isn’t going there.  

Okay, there were more issues. I have updated everything, both watches, iPad, iPhone and both TVs. Don’t see a fitness app on the TV but can air play. I would also like to use HomePod for the sound. iPad isn’t working.  

Watch and iPhone did not work together at the gym. Might be because their WiFi is down but it did say Bluetooth. 

It did work this evening. 

Looking forward to some future workouts.

I signed up on Wednesday, and actually started yesterday.

I tried to adapt what was in the app without having the full plan, and that worked well.

Yesterday was the first time with the full food.  

I’ve lost over 3 pounds so far!

I have lost 2 pounds between signing up and starting because I have been adapting the new plan to what I was doing using their app. I had some protein shakes and bars that I used instead of theirs. I signed up Wednesday. 

Unfortunately the person that runs the center I went to has had a death in the family so I haven’t met that staff yet. I am sure I can go to a different center if this isn’t a good fit. There are quite a few around Dallas and it’s a weekly trip. 

So far, I have liked everyone I have met or talked to on the phone.  

My doctor hasn’t gotten back on the extremely low carb plan so they started me on a less restrictive plan which might make me happier.  

It includes two of their bars and one shake for snacks. The lunch and dinner menus are very doable.  

I have my initial measurements now.  

Good stuff all around.

I was hoping my doctor’s approval had come in, but not.  I pinged them this morning.  

My profile app is finally working and I have a meal plan in it.  I’m going to try to follow it with the stuff I have at home.

I’ve learned that it takes a while for weight to show up.  This morning, I closed the app and the weight was there, so I’ll see if that’s what does it.

I show that I lost some weight today, but the weight that registered yesterday might have included clothing and today didn’t.

I do think they have a referral code if you want to join me.  That’s my next question to them.
