    @UTMom81. I take a low dose of amlodipine and Toprol XL. My BP is ALWAYS up the doctor’s office and fine at home. I’ve told them repeatedly that I have “white coat syndrome” which they repeatedly ignore. They juggle the med amounts with no change in BP. It’s quite frustrating and probably DOES make my BP go up!

    Oh and when I checked my cuffs against theirs and both were within a couple of points of their reading, they told me home cuffs are in accurate! I have both a wrist and an arm cuff.

    At my previous visit when she found out I was losing weight and committed, she told me I might find my blood pressure coming down. She told me to adjust my dose and track. So, when I started feeling lightheaded when going to bed, I started checking my BP and sure enough, it was very low. She had told me to go off of Amlodopine first, so that's what I did, but I kept tracking. Eventually, I was able to cut my Valsartin in half and the readings stayed fine. So she just wrote up what was already working for me. But I had kept meticulous records of my dosage and the results over several months. I do love my doctor, though. She listens to my body, too. She's a gem!

    A big hairy audacious goal (BHAG pronounced Bee-hag) is a bold and compelling enough goal to inspire action.

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    We are unstoppable not because we do not have failures but because we continue on despite them. - paraphrase of original quote by Beau Taplin

    Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

    I don’t remember who said what in round 276 but something in my brain clicked. I am getting back to my old routine of longer daily fasts - at least 18 hours which includes sleep time.

    Comments pertain to previous day

    11/2 133.0 Got much accomplished yesterday-dropped of my national ballot and community ballot, “led” arts and crafts. Took DH to “vote in person” but he still wasn’t feeling up to snuff and the line was long so we left. I hope he feels better by Tuesday.
    11/3 132.5 Today our for firstborn’s first born turns 30!!

    @deepwoodslady Donna, I didn’t realize/remember that your daughter and my granddaughter were born the same day!
