Good news on the health front

When I gave blood nine weeks ago my blood pressure was 136 over 84 and that concerned me a little.  Coincidentally, this was just before Lent so I decided to give up "heavy sugar" for Lent. You know, things like donuts, cookies, pie, etc. Somehow, when I make a commitment to God I find it easier to keep it.  Just as Lent was ending, we started a walking program at church and for the last four weeks I've been walking at least 5 miles a week, also still avoiding sugar and guess what.  Last Saturday I gave blood again and my blood pressure was down to 124 over 80.  I've also lost 5 pounds which is nice.  Talk about a win win situation!
