Heart Rate Monitor - To do or not to do?
Hey MFPs, I've been toying with the idea of buying a heart rate monitor to get a more accurate reading on the amount of calories I actually burn while working out and throughout the day.

Husband Gets Upset When I Throw Away Fattening Food
We got soooo many fattening cookies and candy for Christmas. I am tempted by it, but if I throw it away before I reach for it-I'm ok. The problem is, my husband says I'm wasting it and that we can freeze it. I would rather "waste" it than have it sitting on my hips but he doesn't see it that way. Any ideas?
