Need a new scale, an up and down week, miscellanea

I’d promised a post on Tabata training this week and haven’t quite pulled it together; my apologies.   The post linked to below generated some interesting comments – clearly there is a good deal of interest in Tabata out there.  I’ll get it done this weekend.

One thing that is abundantly clear is that we need a new scale. After proclaiming last weekend exactly how much weight I’ve gained, I stepped on our scale Monday morning only to see it register even higher! Infernal device. I’ll go to Target later today to look for a new one.

But I’ve stuck with my exercise regimen this week and have dialed back on my caloric intake and the fatty stuff – butter, cheese and the like – which is good.  Our diet is fundamentally solid; I just need to avoid the empty calories and crap.  AND the food in our cafeteria at work – apparently  some bizarre experiment being underwritten by The National Processed Food Institute. Yikes.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time this week doing some contingency planning at work,- not an enjoyable exercise.  The economy is impacting our business and the prospects for ’09 don’t look especially rosy.  Let’s hope President Elect Obama can work some magic – we’re going to need it.

Thanks for being here and reading this.  We had a few new commenters this week and continue to add subscribers…  thank you.  Have a good Friday and a great weekend!
