What's Your Number?

"Don't cover me with your gossip magazine, look me in the face dammit!"

It could be pounds, calories per hour, strides per minute, minutes per mile, time elapsed, time remaining, points, minutes, beats per minute.
Here are my preferred numbers:

1. Calories per session on the Precor AMT-my favorite machine!! (about 30 minutes) = around 300
2. METS or the calories per hour section = at least 10.0
3. Beats per minute for my exercise music = greater than or equal to 120 (attained by lots of remixes including Britney, Madonna, Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Black Eyed Peas, other top 40 types-my current fun fave is this new song)
4. I personally never get on a scale to see THAT number, it only demotivates me horribly and ironically sets me running for a bag of chips. My weight number has only ever brought me annoyance and worry, so I forget about it! Jeans and non-elastic waistbands tell me what's up more than the number ever has. I admire people who are dispassionate about their weight number and who see it as just that, a number. Maybe someday I'll get there, but I'm more than happy to stay off of the scale for now.
