i did it!

i drank 2 litres of water yesterday! i'm very proud. now i just need to keep doing that. i only drank about 250 ml of water today but i drank 600 ml smoothie - made out of milk, frozen fruit and a teaspoon of maple syrup - and 250 ml of orange juice so i think i'm getting enough fluids. also, we're going to a chinese restaurant in the evening (more about that later) and i always order a big bottle of water and drink that. so while i won't drink 2 litres of water, i'll drink 2 litres of liquids. for sure.

now, chinese. i know i know, it's not the best thing to eat when you're losing weight, but there's no way i can get out of it. it's mark's brother's birthday meal so i have to go. but, i did some planning beforehand. i had toast (vogel's soya and linseed bread) for breakfast and two glasses of the already mentioned smoothie for lunch. even though i've not eaten a lot, i'm not hungry and the meal is in less than two hours. i'm not going to have a starter or a dessert and i'm going to choose something that's not as bad for you, like, vegetable chow mein. and lots of water. good plan?

i've been trying to find an online shop where they'd sell covered chinese tea cups but no luck. it's driving me nuts. if anyone knows where i can get one, please please let me know.

after dinner update

the dinner went ok. they didn't have still water so i drank sparkling and they only brought me a 3 dcl glass so i only had that. i ordered mixed vegetable chow mein as planned even though i was tempted by mushrooms with broccoli. i would have to have them with fried rice though and even though i love fried rice, i didn't want to eat that many calories and that much fat. so i had chow mein. it was very nice and i stopped when i had enough. i wasn't stuffed. i just had enough. i didn't have a dessert. i had a few pieces of orange though.

i had a little piece of chocolate when i came home (around 70 kcal and not much fat). i think i've done well :)
