HRM
Do you think my boyfriend would mind if I wore a HRM in bed? lol It sounds strange but I'm actually curious to see exactly what's happening when we're intimate. He may be insulted, I don't want him to think that tracking calories and exercise has become more important to me. But as an experiment it might be fun.
