Day 5- The easiest yet!

Well, as bad as yesterday was, today was good. I am down about 5 pounds which is amazing but I still don't feel like I've lost that much. I still think I'm retaining water because my period is due.
Today was a lot of practice for the next two days. I started off with a big cup of tea an I'm finding that having beverages around keeps me full so that even if I do have hunger pangs I don't feel them. It also means that I'm getting up from my desk more to pee which means I'm burning a few extra calories.
Lunch was similar to yesterday: grilled chicken, green beans, and strawberries. One of the tricks to packing my lunch is that if I put the meat on top of the vegetables then when I go to reheat the little bit of fat and the seasons from the meat end up on the vegetables. This helps because I miss putting oil or butter on them.
Dinner was grilled steak on green beans with blueberries. I had to pack my dinner like a lunch (training for the next two days) because I am helping my husband with a program at work tonight and wouldn't have a good way to eat dinner on plan.
Tonight we are baking bread with toppings and so that is king to be a test. So far I haven't cheated and now that I've had dinner and I'll have my trusty bottle of water I should be ok.
Today, I didn't feel hungry between lunch and dinner which was good because I could push dinner back by about 30 minutes which hopefully means I won't get hungry right before bed.
Tomorrow and Friday I have lunch meetings. My plan is to take my chicken with me for tomorrow and eat it right before the meeting and then to have salad and fruit with everyone else. I'll brin my own meausring cups so that I make sure not to over eat.  I this isn't successful then I will know and I will take my lunch for Friday. 
My weight is now down to 184.6!

Here's a picture of part of dinner, these ziplock containers are just the perfect size!
