slendertone flex

i tried the dance mat today. it's ok, i'll need to customise it a bit and i'll need to get used to it. they say you shouldn't wear trainers or socks when using it but it sticks to bare feet and thus prevents double step on the same mark. this was driving me crazy so i'm going to wear my trainers next time. and, it moves. mark suggested we get some velcro and make it stick to the carpet that way. also, i'm really crap at it. i've done just under half an hour today and even though i improved a bit i was far from stepping in the right squares all the time. which was kinda frustrating. however, it was a good workout, i was sweating a lot. i'll try again and hopefully i can only get better ;)

another thing i did today was buy slendertone flex. i thought maybe it would be a good idea to get it and searched for reviews on the internet and most of what i found was positive so i decided to buy it. i measured myself before i used it so i can monitor my progress and i almost bloody died! i measure 78 cm around my waist and 90 (ninety!!!!) cm around my belly. that's a disgrace. it was 74 and 86 a few (probably four) weeks ago. i'm so ashamed and really pissed off with myself for letting this happen. true, i did measure myself in the evening but fucking hell! 90 centimeters??? that is just so horrible. the weird thing is that if i put on weight when i was younger, it always went into my legs and ass. now, yes, i have big legs and ass, but when i put on weight it goes straight into my stomach. well, i'm planing to use the slendertone twice a day and continue with the good eating and exercise.

i definitely need to drink more water. i'm thinking about getting four little bottles in the morning, write numbers on them (1-4) and drink them. i drank one little bottle today. that's piss poor.
