day one - success!

i have survived day one of the perfect week. all my meals were prepared from core foods and i had a treat too - chocolate chip shortbread from marks and spencer worth two and a half points. this is good, i'm allowed twenty-one points a week so if i use three points every day, i'll be fine. i did my exercise too - i walked around the trafford centre and asda for about an hour.

i also bought two pilates dvd's yesterday. i watched one last night, it looks quite good - very similar to the pilates classes i used to go to in the gym - but i need to get a rubber band. that's today's mission. i've seen them in john lewis. i'm not sure whether i should buy a set - three bands of different strength - or just one medium. i think it will depend on the price.

we finally bought a ceiling lamp yesterday and it's very nice. i really like it. mark was worried that it's a bit arty farty but he likes it now. i'm glad. all we need now is a wall lamp and we're done. yay!
