Tae Bo and HRM

So yesterday,Little Princess was away with a friend and Baby Princess was sleeping.It was so tempting to settle down on the couch and browse the internet..I resisted temptation and before the excuses got louder,popped in my Tae Bo DVD  and started working out.
I bought the Tae Bo DVDs almost 4 years back,when Little Princess was 14 months old..I used the DVD for a few times and then we moved to Australia and the DVDs sat in my kitchen Drawer gathering dust. I was quite impressed..I could workout for 28 minutes.I did have to stop,once or twice,but I didn't just sit down..I walked it off!When I had started doing the DVD last time,I couldn't do more than 6-8 minutes at a stretch and then I would flop on the couch and stay there for a long time.This was 4 years back.
Yesterday,I finished 28 minutes of workout..I was sweating,despite the air conditioner. I finished the stretching,and jumped into the shower.It was amazing that my workout was done and out of the way.
I was upset,that there was no real way of tracking the calories I burnt,by that vigorous workout. So,today,we went out and got the HRM..Beurer PM50.I was so excited.But,just my luck,the thing is faulty.It shows the heart rate as 0--thats right ZERO! So,I am going to return it tomorrow and go get a Polar! 
But,I spent most of the evening moping.
To make my day worse..I was going to have pita and chicken( from Indian takeaway).We got home and I took my Pita Bread out of the fridge and it was spoilt. Ended up eating rice. And I have been tucking away avocados..and today,I figured out a small avocado amounts to 266 Cal!!WHOAAA! Need to eat teeny bits-Can't give it up..its the only healthy food that I crave for!And its beginning to make my skin glow-though the glow could be because of the excercise too!
I didn't excercise today,either..But,I walked around in the mall,quite a bit-nearly 4 hours and I was pushing the pram and carrying the baby for most of the time.I picked Subway again today..while the rest of the family tucked in KFC! And the best bit-I wasn't even tempted to taste the fries!
Oh!and I also got new trainers..Professionally fit ones!
Tomorrow is another day....better one!
