I will probably edit this post a few times, but I want one spot to keep track of the following:
Resting Heart Rate = 72bpm ("above average" for my age according to the chart, yay!)
Metabolic Heart Rate: 220-age (which is 42) = 178bpm
Fat burning zone = 107bpm - 125bpm according to:

This makes me want to invest in a heart monitor watch which are not cheap!
My alternate way of dealing with this is to find out the beats per minute of my favorite workout songs and ensure that iTunes knows it by right clicking the song, choosing "Get Info" and on the "Info" tab, filling in the BPM field. Then I can just generate a "fat burning" playlist to sync onto my iPod Nano.
Resting Metabolic Rate = around 1525 using the Harris-Benedict calculations (incl. the revised one) or based on the Military Circumfrence % of bodyfat = 1503
best resource I found for this calculation is at: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calrmr.htm
