Day 5 - Biggest Loser Challenge

So yet again my morning consists of weighing myself. I feel I may be getting a little obsessed, I weigh myself at night and every morning. So the tale of the numerically challenged scales continues. I am now back to 12st 13, well 12st 13.5, so overall, supposedly, I have lost 7.5lbs overall. Which in 5 days is fantastic.
I don't think I mentioned, but my delivery of the Groupon deal from the biggest loser was delayed and as I usually do, I complained about the poor service. I never complain unnecessarily, but I am a firm believer of giving a company feedback, either positive or negative.

Here are my complaints just recently:
Tesco - I bought Tesco Everyday Value Strawberries, 95p which is a bargain as I looked at the label on the shelf, 95p for 400g, great! But I look at the punnet of strawberries and they are only 300g! I know it is only going to be a few pence difference, but with the cost of living increasing I felt robbed. So I took my photo's of the evidence and wrote my email.
The outcome - £5 voucher to spend in store and an apology.
Biggest Loser Groupon Deal - Poor delivery time and customer service.
Outcome - Approximately 6 Meal Replacement Bars and 4 Snack bars, that will keep me going for a further 3 days on this diet! I have also been given some Slim Fast Shake powder from my boss in Blissful Banana so I can keep this diet going on for even longer!
Echo Fall White Zinfandel Wine - I am not a huge drinker but I absolutely love my wine. I love all White Zinfandels because they are so fruity! So I bought a new bottle and proceeded to pour myself a glass after having a glass from another bottle. I went to take a sip and it was so bitter that I could not finish the glass let alone the bottle, which I would obviously have no issue in completing normally. So unfortunately I could not drive to get another bottle, I was over the limit and I could not finish the one I had, which lead me to writing a slightly tipsy email to the customer services department at Accolade Wines (not Sainsbury's as they wouldn't really do anything apart from refund). So the email went off and they sent me a box to send the wine to them for testing.
Outcome - A week and a half later, a letter to say the wine was oxidised, but they cannot confirm if it was before the bottle was opened or after. The wine would have been long gone if I was making this up, wine would not get the chance to get oxidised if I could have drunk it. Anyhoo, I received a £10 voucher to spend and considering the wine was on offer and cost me £5 I can hopefully now buy 2 bottles in replacement, overall not a bad little haul.

Anyway, back to the diet:
Breakfast - Double Choc Shake - not as bad as I thought it would be
Snack - Berry Crunch Bar
Lunch - Choc Fudge Meal Replacement Bar
Snack - Banana or Apple, have not made my mind up! (The life of a dieter ay?)
Dinner - Gammon with salad and home made chips/wedges.
Snack - Yogurt or fruit

I also worked out yesterday that my sister cannot cook. So me going over to my mum's for dinner (she worked late), proceeded a text from my sister saying I am going to cook. So I asked for something healthy, which she replied, are potato waffles healthy?

Needless to say, I took my own dinner (chicken with lots of veg in a tom sauce and rice), she did boil the water for me to cook the rice though.
