Thats a great resting pulse. I've been doing treadmill and pilates. I've also been on Atkins for the past week. It's funny but the scale hasn't shown much, but my clothes are looser, so I guess that means I'm building muscle. As long as I can be between a size six and eight by mid summer I don't care what the scale says.
It's completely balanced, loaded with fruits and veggies, and it actually seems to be changing my metabolism by the way the foods interact with each other chemically.
Best thing about it. You only go on it for 3 days, and some folks have lost 10 pounds in those 3 days! (I lost 4........the first 4 I've lost in about 6 or 7 years!)
Sometime when it's not this late, I'll tell you more about it, if you're interested.
