No, I don't take any meds and I don't smoke and I rarely ever drink alcohol. I'm just pretty lazy, i guess I'll start the walking thing and break out the old Wii Fit. I'll start keeping a record of my blood pressure at the same time every day to see any progress.

So would it be safe to say I should be eating more chicken/turkey/fish. instead of hamburger and steaks...and yeah shying away from the fast food places - and the vender "Wheel o' Death" at work?
I'm assuming I should stay away from noodles and stuff like that too? I suppose I could get the all natural "whole wheat" noodles or whatever...what do y'all think?
