a busy day

i woke up early to go to my aqua aerobics, but my friend nicola called to see if i'm free for lunch in town. so it was out of the window with aqua and in with lunch. we went to this italian place where the english waiters made an effort to use italian phrases which was a bit weird. i confess, i had a pizza. there was nothing good on the menu that would be vegetarian so i thought i might as well have a pizza. it was thin with not much cheese on and i had onions, mushrooms and olives topping. i only ate 3/4 of it as well. we had garlic bread for starters but i only had one slice. i've not had a pizza for about 4 months now and it wasn't like i could have avoided it. it was a nice meal and i enjoyed it.
we went shopping afterwards, to affleck's palace (i wanted to get a belt and some chains) and a science fiction shop (nicola wanted 'lucifer' comic). we didn't get anything in affleck's in the end, but nicola managed to get two issues of her comic. we went to some clothes shops afterwards and i got a belt that i wanted and a white shirt that i need for after the surgery.

when i got home i had some melon and was throwing frisbee around with mark for half an hour in the garden. it was fun! and i could clock the exercise for the day. i definitely want to do it more often. it's great for the days when i can't go to the gym for some reason or can't be bothered. i also want to play with other toys sometime. like, soft tennis or those stick pads with a sticky ball or something.

i went to the trafford centre in the evening to buy presents for mark as it will be his birthday on monday. i bought a few little things, i hope he'll like :)
i also bought a little something for myself. when we were in the trafford centre the other day, i saw a charm bracelet and many many charms that you just clip on in selfridges. i considered getting it and getting a charm for every 5 kg lost. and tonight i went to look at it again and i really liked it. i like the idea, you can get charms that reflect your personality and make the bracelet really personal. so, i went ahead and bought it. even though i'm entitled to three charms, i've decided i'd get one charm every month. that way it won't be too expensive and i'll get excited a few more times. so i bought a number '2' charm. that's because i got married in february. now every time i'll look at the bracelet, i'll think of my wedding to the most amazing guy ever :D

so the scales will be up tomorrow but i'll still have 4 days to lose some. tomorrow it's back in the gym for the 'shape up for summer' week 1 programme 2. hopefully this one won't be as hard.
