Heart rate monitors have got to be one of the best motivational fitness tools out there. You can keep track of your body's exertion during workouts and compare that directly to your dietary intake. Best of all, you can share your workout results with other HRM users here who can provide great feedback and support. Share things like: Calories burned, Max HR, Avg HR, or whatever other results you want.
I actually wore mine last Monday. I have a desk...
Yesterday's ride

I did the same bike ride yesterday (as on Wednesday). The conditions were just crappy though. They regrained the whole trail, so it's really gravelly and slippery now. I almost fell a few times, and you can't get as much speed.
Didn't have time to upload my graphs/stats :(, but I will edit later. For now i'll go with what I remember.
Exercise: Chabot mountain bike loop
Equipment: Suunto t6C, Garmin etrex vista hCX
Duration: 51:30 (-4 minutes from wednesday :)
Kcal: about 650
Altitude: 1007ft
Max HR: 187
Avg HR: 175
