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.
Might as well throw yesterday's weights in there..

I really like the graph on this, when you do weights. I need to look up that suunto thing. That's a new term for me.
Suunto is just another HRM company, but fancier(although I never tried the high end polar HRMs). I can't say that I miss polar very much :), still they have great HRMs! The software that I generate the graphs is called Firstbeat ATHLETE. I think it's only compatible with Suunto watches. It's a really cool and easy program to use, but it's not free..
