Inflation?

The gym replaced the old Stairmasters with some new elliptical steppers. The orbiting motion is smoother and less jarring than the old up-and-down, and there are even swinging arm bars to get the upper body involved. Even with all the bells and whistles, though, we're still basically walking in place. So the same brand, at the same exercise level, running the same 30-minute workout routine, but the new machine says I burned 300 calories vs. 200 on the old machine. Hmm.... Well, if it's trustworthy, I can have an extra cookie or something.

They put in a new scale, too, which confirmed my suspicion that the $5 WalMart spring scale is a piece of junk. Good news is that despite spending way too much time sitting on my ass, I'm still under 60 kilos. Yay genetics. On the other hand, I should probably lay off the sugary pastries for breakfast. Gotta watch out for diabetes. Boo genetics.
