Although I am not yet officially a 'Healthy Heart Ambassador'... I did take my blood pressure this morning!
I knew it had been awhile since I'd checked it, but was surprised to see I hadn't since last September. I keep track in my phone so I can have a list of readings when I go to the doctor (because it is ALWAYS high in the doctors office).
Anyway, this morning it was 128/80 and 127/73 - and I was actually talking to someone while taking it. I was happy with that. My top number seems to always exceed the standard 120.
As for the HHA thing... I did complete my assignment (making a video) and turn it in. I'm just waiting to see if I passed or "am not yet ready" (yeah, that's their phrase for being a failure). Actually, the video was kind of funny. It's on Youtube. Jane was my imaginary client, and she kept bursting into laughter. :) I left it as is. Hopefully the instructor will get a chuckle out of it too! Laughter probably is good for blood pressure.

but heartache crushes the spirit."
