I had high blood pressure, right around 155/100. I was ignoring it, telling the doctor each visit, "Oh, that is high. It's never that high." And that was a lie. I was just being stubborn because I knew darn well my blood pressure was my fault. That's not true for everyone...for some it's genetic. For my husband it's genetic. But when I have high BP, it's MY fault.
I took it at Meijer today and got my lowest reading yet.
102/60
And my heart rate? Oh my heart rate!!
54
I attribute my success entirely to hard core cardio: Spin Cycle class and running.
And that, my friends, is what this is all about!! I forget that often when the scale is not moving. But this right here...this is what it's all about.
I cried...right there at Meijer!
That's a bit on the ridiculous side of low!
... My DS is in denial too... Every time he gives blood or goes to the doc and his BP is high he says it's because of nervousness... I know better, he does too, he's a nurse for god sakes 
... Someday, I hope not too late, he will see the light...
