So after feeling like crap since Sunday I went to the doctor to get some meds. But instead of concentrating on the illness, the Dr. wanted to concentrate on my through the roof blood pressure. 132/101. YIKES! NOT GOOD AT ALL!!
I bought a new blood pressure cuff thingy so that I can monitor my blood pressure over the next 7 days and report back to him. Let's hope that it goes down after I get well. But since heredity has a play in this, it probably wont. :( Both my mom and her mom have high blood pressure so I guess I am destined to have it as well.
In addition to getting my bp under control, I need to get my weight under control as well. Especially since I will be in a wedding in Sept. 09. Don't want the bride and groom to have icky pictures to look at forever. :) So as a result, I am going OCD on a health kick and if I do not stick to it, I need everyone to kick my butt to get me back in to gear. Got it?

Your systolic isn't too bad but your diastolic is high. Hmmm... And you've even been child-free for a few days. :o)
High Blood pressure sucks! I know I have it! However, getting it under control is easier when you consider the alternatives, blindness, heart attacks, strokes, libido malfunction, etc....
Feel better
how is the blood pressure?
