I need to really get better at the exercise thing so that I can get some of this excess weight off. I have never really added salt to anything so I have been focusing more on avoiding caffine.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867933967446707278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-70027614862893046922008-07-20T22:12:00.000-04:002008-07-20T22:12:00.000-04:00Don't worry, Ellen, I think just about all of ...Don't worry, Ellen, I think just about all of the cookbooks & magazines here still use the Imperial system (or have both). I'm old enough that I still think in those terms anyway -- although I'm pretty comfortable with Celsius temperatures & kilometres these days. (I do still find myself doing a quick approximate conversion in my head anyway -- 10C = 50F, 20C = 68F & 30C = 85F, etc.).loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-60130929749446180252008-07-20T21:13:00.000-04:002008-07-20T21:13:00.000-04:00BTW, I realized minutes after I submitted my comme...BTW, I realized minutes after I submitted my comment that the AHA cookbook would probably be a real PITA due to the need to convert everything to metric.

It always sucks to take a new medication, though -- I hate that feeling of not being up to par. <BR/><BR/>My BP tends toward the low with occasional dramatic swoops -- hence the fainting. But now I can feel how overtasked my cardiovascular system is, and it's a little frightening. My mom's BP shot up while she was pregnant with my twin brothers -- further investigation revealed that that she had a congenital heart murmur, and so she had a heart valve replacement 20 years later. (She is thin and rather small in the bust, so when I hug her, I can hear her heartbeat like an old steam train engine!)<BR/><BR/>The American Heart Association cookbooks are great, BTW. I use mine frequently as high cholesterol runs in the family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-62661766751481415702008-07-19T02:12:00.000-04:002008-07-19T02:12:00.000-04:00Too bad we couldn't pull some string to expedite t...Too bad we couldn't pull some string to expedite the passport process. Would have been so great to see you in the audience and in the pre- and post-mixer phase. Thanks for being with us in a very big sense in spirit.
