I measured myself in the local blood pressure machine at work and got a reading of 141 over 79. Since a healthy adult is supposed to have a systolic pressure of around 120, my focus in losing weight just went from cosmetic to health. I know that’s the right reason anyway, but still, I didn’t need to know this. Goddammit.
When I take my weekly measurements, I can’t include the blood pressure at the same time, since my weigh-in is on Sunday and I work on Monday, so I’ll be going back and retro-editing the previous day’s post to add the blood pressure readings.
