Blood Pressure Update

So I got my results from my 24 hr blood pressure test. It's actually kind of funny. We went to eat at McDonald's last Tuesday after we had a tour of the gym we joined. As we are sitting there a lady with 4 kids walks by (it's in ASDA) and she waves at me. It took me a second to realize it was my Dr. Christian told me "she caught you" (eating fast food) and she heard and laughed. She said she ate there before they went shopping as well.
Anyway, she said she got the results to make and apt. so I did but because the NHS is "slow" I don't see her until this coming Wednesday. I received a letter in the post today and she wrote that the results came back that my numbers were too low to receive medication! So that's good but it did say that they were borderline so I know that they need to be worked on.
So at least I don't need to be medicated and now that we are going to be using the gym I should hopefully get into a groove and it will hopefully lower it even more!!
So I don't think I'll be doing the GLuten free as much as before but I think we will be cutting back. When I make pasta I'll use GF and I have some GF bread still. I can eat that for toast in the morning.

Yeah! So glad you don't have to worry about going on the meds for high blood pressure.
Hope you had a fund day out!!
