Yeah, I am definitely getting my doctor to prescribe the cake for breakfast diet! Unless there is a diet that also says you can have it for lunch and dinner too! Â
For a non-healthy person, I try to be relatively healthy. I do get at least some exercise (well, dog-walking), and I don't really eat much salt and all that. I admit that I am "pleasingly rounded", but I have always been so, to some degree or another without my blood pressure freaking out. Besides, I am pretty sure that I lost about 125 lbs. walking around San Francisco on my recent business trip! Â
I really think that this is caused by stress. Can that happen? Without going into too many details, I have had and continue to have a lot of stress in my life over the past few years. I know, big deal, we all have stress. But I am feeling like lately it is really starting to add up and I am getting less effective at dealing with it. Normally I think of myself as a pretty easy-going, happy-go-lucky person (well, as much as you can be while being bitter and sarcastic at the same time!), and my blood pressure has always been on the low side, but lately I just feel like there is always SOMETHING that I am worried or stressed about. Even stupid little things that normally wouldn't bug me. You wouldn't know it necessarily to look at me, but it goes on inside. I do know that changing jobs would probably reduce my blood pressure a ton, and I am working on that. Does anyone know of job evaluating the way various types of underwear fit the male cast of Lost???
(BTW, speaking of stress.... Not one, but TWO, giant horseflys have somehow gotten into my house, and it is freaking Ranger out! He apparently wants me to do something about it, but I feel like getting up off the couch and chasing through the house with a flyswatter is just, really bad for my blood pressure. Â
 I wonder how his is right now? Maybe I should take him down to the drugstore, shove his leg through the pressure cuff and let the blood pressure machine announce HIS weight to everyone!)
