NSV heart rate!

In the words of my doctor - you have the resting heart rate of a super-athlete. He put a thingy on my finger which measured it: 45bpm. I am impressed with myself! Shame I haven't got the body to go with it! LOL :laugh:

no harm done, no offence taken. Doc knows how long I have struggled with my weight and is amazed by my progress, so maybe he was being nice too. I just wanted to brag lol.
