I love my HRM

For Christmas, Andy's mom got me a Polar F6 heart rate monitor! I was really stoked to go to the gym and try it out.



Do you believe this? My average heart rate was super high! I need to try playing around with the HRM more. I am really excited to incorporate it into my workouts.



I stupidly didn't eat lunch yesterday so when Andy and I were at Starbucks (he was grading essays) I ordered one of thse fruit and cheese plates.



And I snagged a sample of red velvet cupcake. The cupcake was AH-mazing! What is it about red food coloring in a cake that makes it so good?



I attempted to start this book but couldn't get into it. Starbucks was blasting Elvis tunes and I am one of those people who needs lots of quiet when I read. Have any of you read this book?



Dinner was a pork al pastor burrito and some roasted brussels sprouts. I actually enjoy brussels sprouts but I prefer them to be a little crispy. I need to figure out how to do that!



I mixed them with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar and some salt n pepa.

Do you own a heart rate monitor? Do you like it? What is your average heart rate? I can't believe mine was that high during my run...but I was totally working it listening to music. Who knows?
