Jack 2010: Year of the Tiger

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010 at 12:15 pm

Now that the holiday treats are safely locked at the bottom of our trash dumpster and my New Year’s hangover is just a memory, today marks the first real day of the new year for me.  According to the Chinese zodiac, 2010 is the year of the tiger. GRRrrrrRRRRrr.  This works really well for me since I need to get back in shape, and Eye of the Tiger is on every workout playlist I’ve made since the Cold War.  If you’re also thinking of getting back to your fighting weight, let’s talk basics.  You need a decent scale…like one that will tell your body fat percentage (but not out loud).  The Whynter Glass Digital Body Fat & Water Scale, at just $46 at Overstock.com, is very affordable for a scale armed with body fat monitoring.  It can handle up to 330 lbs of your ampleness. If you’d rather not know your body fat and just wanna see your weight accurately, the Sunny Digital Personal Scale (330 lb max) is a clear winner at just $25 at Overstock.  Both of these scales have high marks from reviewers.

If you’ll excuse me now, I have a date with an elliptical machine and Metallica.

Cheers!

Jack
