day 7 - first mini goal reached

i'm 68.6 kg!!!!!!!!!!!! and it was flickering between 68.4 and 68.6! i know it's not my official weighing day today, but am i going out for lunch to get my mozzarella and tomato salad? oh yes! am i going to buy my exfoliator? oh yes! grr, i sound like churchill and i hate those adverts...

anyway, 66.6 kg is the next mini goal. i'm not quite sure what reward i want, but there's still time.

happy happy happy

weird thing happened today in the gym. i was on the treadmill, walking and after like ten minutes i had a look at the heartrate monitor watch and it said my heart rate was 120. normally, it's 150 when i do that. i was walking at the same speed, even slightly faster, i was sweating, i couldn't walk any faster because i would have to run. so i though, well done, it must mean i'm getting fitter. the fitness must have been inside me all the time because it only took 4 visits to the gym for it to emerge. and i felt proud. then i thought - what if my heartrate monitor belt isn't on properly? and it wasn't. it was a bit loose so it slipped down. i adjusted it and the heartrate shot up to 170. i guess i'll have to work out for a bit longer to get fit. anyway, this will show up on the calories i've burnt as it will be slightly lower.

we went to frankie and benny's and i had the tomato and mozzarella salad and ciabatta bread with butter. it was nice, but i kept thinking 'how much fat is in this mozzarella?' there were just three slices, but still. i enjoyed it nevertheless. and, i drank half a litre of water. mark had a nice pizza and a fantastic dessert (i had it once before). i wasn't tempted one bit. i just busted my ass in the gym, why would i want to undo all the good work for something i can taste for about five minutes? no no no!
then we went to boots and i bought my scrub, they didn't have the one i wanted (well, they did, but only in a set with things i didn't want) so i bought a different one. smells nice, hopefully will be nice. i also bought a new puff. i wanted to buy quinoa cause all the people on the bbc forum go on about how great it is and andrew said it was really nice as well so i thought i'd try it but it was nowhere to be seen in holland and barretts. maybe next time. and, i bought pens (six pentel pens for £1.99, now, who wouldn't buy that???) and notecards (i desperately need some) in whsmith. and, i went to the apple shop and bought software for typing. i can type quite well, but i still make mistakes and i want to get faster. so i got rather many things for this mini goal. but that's motivating, right? or does it mean i won't get anything for the next mini goal?

we were watching you are what you eat last night. the woman lost 3 stone in 2 months! ok, so she was 18 stone to start with, but fucking hell! 3 stone in 2 months! that is trully amazing. doesn't mean i'll start eating avocadoes though, cause they're bleh. i would really like to try some quinoa though.
