Good news!

I went to the doctor's office today for a follow up to my blood pressure. They checked it and now I am only at 130/80 which is much better than what they first reported! As you can guess I am pretty excited about this. First, this means that I can take my CDL Bus written exam and get my license. Second, it means I'm healthier than thought. Third, I can drink myself stupid after graduation (okay, maybe not that much, but I can still enjoy a few drinks with my friends).

Just so you know, I am still going to eat salads at lunch. They're delicious and only $1.45. Yum, yum! To celebrate, I'm off to run.

I'm glad you got good news but don't celebrate to soon. Blood pressures can fluctuate from day to day depending on a lot of factors. Continue to monitor your blood pressure and make changes to prevent further "mistakes" by your doctor. ;)

I second this advice ;)

Keep on running, it'll take awhile, but your blood pressure will drop as you get fitter. 130/80 is still highish considering you are so young. Good luck!
