Day Five - August 19, 2011

Just like the last few days I started my morning at work with a 16 oz. glass of water with Crystal Light Strawberry Energy and a Lara Bar.  As a mid-morning snack, so about 2 hours after breakfast, I had some trail mix.  For lunch I had a Subway sandwich.  I got the same one as yesterday; 6 in. roasted chicken on wheat, no cheese, with lettuce, spinach, green pepper, cucumbers, pickles, olives, regular mustard and vinegar.  I got a bag of baked BBQ chips and a bottle of water too.  For whatever reason I've always thought the normal sized bottles of water were all 16 oz., I thought that was the normal size.  Well apparently not, because my "normal sized" bottle of water is 20 oz.  Drinking water from the bottle I got is way easier than the reusable cup I have from Human Bean.  I drank so much water today because I just kept refilling the bottle.  I think I will definitely keep a water bottle around.  So for dinner tonight we had Quizno's.  Again, we really need to go grocery shopping so we don't really have anything here to eat.  I wanted a turkey club bullet with the broccoli cheese soup, but I'm not sure what sandwich I ended up with.  Casey went and got it, so I wasn't there.  The sandwich I wanted was supposed to have red wine vinaigrette on it, but the one I ended up with had some kind of white sauce on it.  So whatever, I ate most of the sandwich.  For dessert I had 7 swedish fish and 1 1/2 rectangles of a symphony chocolate bar.  I ended up drinking a total of 76 oz. of water today, that's 9 1/2- 8 oz. glasses of water.  That's just crazy to me.  If you have a hard time drinking lots of water, drink it out of a water bottle.  Mine is a Dasani one.  This morning my weight was 239.6, that is down .2 lbs. from yesterday.  It's so weird weighing myself every day, but it is helpful.  I won't go off track as easily.  I have a couple other things to talk about real quick. =)
I received my bridesmaid dress in the mail today.  Of course I tried it on.  I really don't understand why you take the time to get measured when they don't actually make the dress to those measurements.  They just look at your measurements, then suggest a size.  The top is way, way too big and the front is too short.  No worries though, I'm sure the alterations lady will be able to fix it all.  I'm not sure when I'm going to meet with the alterations lady since I plan on losing weight, I don't want to have to get it altered more than once.  One last thing, tomorrow night is my best friend's bridal shower/bachelorette party.  I am definitely not getting wasted, that'd just be a waste of everything I've done this week.  I'm not sure what we're doing or where we're going, so I don't know what to expect or prepare myself for.  I'm just going to be strong and not give in to temptation. =)  I'll let you all know how I do tomorrow.
