toni&guy
toni&guy products are on offer at boots. 2 for £7. that's quite reasonable, i think. i bought protective spray for when you blow dry your hair (which i do every day at the gym now) and dry shampoo (always good to have). i wanted to buy some shampoo, i've never tried toni&guy shampoo, but they list glycerin as an ingredient. rather annoying when they put it like that, it most likely is plant glycerin but when they don't write 'plant' or 'vegetable' then i can't really buy it without asking them first. so i emailed them on saturday. i got a reply today and it said:

what??? boots make toni&guy products??? why don't i buy boots botanics or hair science or whatever else there is for half the price?
also, what kind of customer service is this? i emailed toni&guy about toni&guy products. they tell me to call someone else? why couldn't they call that someone else and email me an answer to my question? bah! obviously, i expect too much.
i've been to the gym today. i tried to talk myself out of going this morning when i really didn't want to get up. mark's mom gave me a lift there. i went on the treadmill first and i've decided i'd run a bit today. i walked for 4 minutes and ran for 1 then walked for 4 and ran for 1... and did that for 30 minutes. it was nice for a change, it broke the walk down nicely and it seemed to go quicker. i had an inner dialogue whether to run the last two 1 minute runs or not (i was getting tired) but i pushed myself and ran. i know it seems like i'm taking the piss when i say i pushed myself to run for one minute but i really had to do that. i know i'll never be a runner but i would like to be able to jog for 30 minutes without dying. afterwards, i did 30 min on crosstrainer. it seemed long and boring.
oh, and when i came to the gym, there was some class going on in studio 1 and they were doing all these tai chi moves, i shall have a look what it was. apparently pilates. i would like to do pilates or yoga again but the thought of taking yoga mat on a bus is not very appealing. however, there is a yoga class at 9.30 on sunday morning which i could go to and mark would take me there so the bus/yoga mat problem wouldn't exist. but, it would mean i'd have to get up at eight on sunday morning. so i'm not sure. it would be nice to have a day when i'd exercise in a studio rather than in the gym and it would be good for toning too. i'll think about it.
having found gym trousers that fit me yesterday, i needed to think of a different reward. i have no idea what i want yet. but we've decided that a reward for each mini goal would be £20. i think £20 is good. it's not a lot so we can afford it but it's not little either. and, if i want something more expensive i can save up reward money for it.
i'm not sure what i'd like. i would like a real treat, something i wouldn't normally buy. like, i don't want to buy shampoos or shower gels or moisturisers because i would normally get all this stuff. i've been thinking maybe a massage, i took a leaflet from the gym today. it is quite expensive though, a 30 minute back and shoulders massage costs £20 so that would be my first reward money gone and if i wanted to save up for a full body massage i would have to spend two lots of reward money. considering the first mini goal is 67 kg and the second is 65 kg, it will take me long enough to reach them. too long just to get one massage for both of them if you ask me!
i've been thinking that maybe i could save up all the reward money and buy myself a nice jewel in half a year but that kinda defeats the point of rewarding the mini goals.
anyway, it's not like i'm gonna reach the first mini goal tomorrow. i'll have enough time to think.

Congrats on taking those steps to lose the weight! I'm also maintaining an exercise routine to slim down a little. That's a good idea - to reward yourself for the little goals...might have to try that as well!
