Counting Calories

Last night my wife gave me a heart monitor!  Which was great, because just yesterday I have started to count my intake, and burning of, calories.  It is making me realize just how much I need to take in, and what I should be avoiding.  Today was a cardio X workout, so I had the opportunity to test out the new toy.  It worked perfectly -- told me my heart rate, how long the workout was, the amount of time burning fat calories, and how many total calories I burned.  I love it!  Thanks to this little machine I can track how hard I'm pushing myself in a workout, and where I need to back off.  Looking forward to using the monitor again for my next cardiovascular workout.
