Starting up... yet again... HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE ALERT

Well, this is almost embarassing. But, I know lots of people start and stop with working out and weight loss, so I don't feel too bad (still kicking myself though).

I recently (now about 45 days ago... started this post on my iPhone but couldn't get it to post) went to my doctor because I had a sinus infection, and left with blood pressure medication!! (and some antibiotics for the sinus infection) It turns out that I have high blood pressure, and I need to start watching my sodium intake and diet, plus working out could be helpful (duh). :-D

I will start to post about what I'm doing to lower my blood pressure, and I'm hoping it includes getting in better shape altogether. I will say this though... I was AMAZED at how much sodium I was taking in on a daily basis!! It is truly shocking once you pay attention and try and track it! You should only take in about 2,000mg a day... I was taking in anywhere between 7-9,000mg a day! Processed foods are the killer.

Hopefully I can figure out how to post from my iPhone again so I can get these posts more regularly without needing to get to a computer with internet.
