Eeep.
I really need to get into shape! I donated blood today (one pint in 51/2 mins.!), and my BP was 141/66. I waited a few hours when I got home and took it again using an electronic cuff, and it was 139/87! That's high-normal, or pre-hypertension land, folks. (High BP is 140/90.) I remember just a few years ago it was consistently around 110/60. I was both more active and at least 10 lbs. lighter back then. High BP in my mid-20's is not good, especially with the heart disease on both sides of the family. Motivation to start exercising more? I HAS IT.
On a different note, this will be my last appearance around the interwebs for a couple weeks, as I will be in Ohio. I shall return on or around the 25th. Good luck to you all!
