So since I know sipping water will be a challenge for me because I tend to gulp I went looking for sippy cups. I went to Walgreens and I found more selection than I expected! lol. There was a cute toy story one that was all decorated and such but it was like $6.99. I mean come on. So here's what I ended up with. hee hee!!
For when I'm home sip sip sipping away I'll use these. They're 9 oz each. And look a pack of 2 was only $2.99! :) Plus they had that spout that sticks out pretty far which is what I wanted. I have an oral fixation. (save the dirty jokes ladies)
And for when I'm out and about or traveling with family and don't wanna look too babyish I got this one!
see the spout is way less pronounced on that one. its generic. the only thing i don't like is that it says PLAYTEX across the top (you can't make it out in the pics) which is weird because it makes me think of tampons. lol. now i know that because these only hold 9 oz i'll have to have a water bottle with me as well and refill it. but thats ok with me if this helps with the sipping. at least at first. and plus its fun. i'll have to find a grown up bottle for the protein shakes though.
on another note i wanna share the yummy dinner i made the other night. inspired by my cousin erika. i made shredded chicken (came out perfect!) on corn tortillas with all the fixins. The fixins: lettuce, tomato, corn, black beans, sour cream, taco sauce, cheese. Yum!! so yum and light and flavorful. mmm i just love corn tortillas. this was my first time having them. everyone loved the dinner. :) the next day i had leftovers and thats when i took these pics. i sat and ate with no tv and no internet. just quietly sat and enjoyed my food.
oh oh and get this. today i ate lunch around 5 something today. and around 7 something my friends says wanna go out? i'm hungry. and i was like well....ok. i wasn't hungry but i wanted to get out of the house. normally i would say "i could eat" and eat something anyway. but this time i just sat there with my water while she ordered her food. after a while the smell was getting to me. so i had a piece of pita and dipped it in some sauce. and then i had one, ONE bite of her stuffed cabbage. but i did have a dessert. yes i did. lol. i figured hey, i'm just getting this one thing. so i got some baklava. yes i know its got a million calories in it but i never eat greek so i ate it. and it was yummy. but i was proud of myself for only eating that. :)
Kudos to the will power and the socializing without food. We still can be social butterflies without being fat anymore... *Maria*-Blogger from "This one time at Band Camp..." Check out my blog at mybigfatbandgeeklife.blogspot.com
