good intentions

i bought a coat. a mac, to be precise. black one. i wanted to buy one for a few weeks now but couldn't find one that i liked. i saw one in miss selfridge that was quite nice but when i tried it on, i looked as if i was pregnant. now, i have a fat stomach, but it really is not that fat! then i saw a nice coat in selfridges, but it cost £75 and as i will really wear it for short time only, i didn't want to fork out that much. there was a nice coat in an advert for matalan, so we found a store nearby and went. the coat was nice, cost £25 and didn't fit me at all. oh well. but, i found one in debenhams. the nicest of them all, can be buttoned up in two different ways, it's a size 10 (!) and it was discounted from £45 down to £30. can't really argue with that. so i bought that one.

we came home, i ate at 5.30, so to have 2 hours between a meal and the gym. i really wanted to go. but then, i wanted to wear the coat. i knew i would be wearing it tomorrow, but i wanted to wear it today. so i decided to go for a walk instead. mark came with me and we walked for an hour and a half. so not too bad.

on the nose front, i think i'm developing a black eye. there's no bruise as yet, but there are quite a few red dots which weren't there before. like, bruisy red dots. bruisy red dots that become a bruise. the nose still hurts when i touch it.

today is the first day i've used all my points. i usually leave half a point, or one, or two. but today, i managed to eat them all! i had six points left for my dinner and i considered a chow mein. but that would mean that i'd have chinese twice this week already and that's just not right. so we decided we'd have chinese on sunday. it's the best day to have a nice big salty meal as it's the start of a new week.

only two full days before i weigh in. i must be good!
