  • I have an Omron and I have been pleased with it. The model no. is HR1000.
  • They both look good on you. I kind of like the one with the sleeves the best - or if the sleeveless, you should have a contrasting wrap of some kind.
  • Since it is a date, I agree with the idea of bringing something low cal in your purse. A Special K Granola bar is 90 calories, for example.

  • I now measure my wine to match 1 serving and I have really reduced how much Coke Zero because I saw how much sodium was in it. I now go for iced water and iced tea when I am hot.
