You might be right. I took my BP on the same machine after
my 20 mile bike ride and the reading was 130/83 so it's
getting better already. I'm still going to knock off 15 pounds
to be sure though. I want it 120/80 max.

First off don't believe those machines. Second , if you use them always take
three readings and do an average. A slight surge in adrenalin will boost
your numbers by a good margin.... like the fear of a poor result.
We have an electric BP gauge at home due to my parent's health regime... I
drink and smoke... my BP is near perfect every time. I've even taken my BP
when drunk and it wasn't out of the "normal" parameters.

Sounds like you're going to adopt a California Tree Huggin' Soy Munchin',
wheat germ eatin', vitamin poppin' lifestyle to get you back in shape for
perusing your supposed "conservative" lifestyle..... sounds really GAY!

|
| With a reading of 140/93 I doubt the doc will pass me.

| Can't - it's still hurricane season and I also have to get my Master's

|

| Donal - who piles on the miles!
