If you have it, what are you doing about it?

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure just before xmas last year, and I confess I've done little.

I'm exercising more regularly, which is good. But I still haven't reached a level of fitness where I'm exercising the recommended 150 minutes a week. Most weeks I'm can't get past 45 -75 minutes. And I've removed the most egregious offenders from my diet, but my diet still needs a lot of improvement. I haven't lost an ounce of weight either - that's on me though, I love to eat.

I'd really like to adopt the DASH diet, but my god, the thought of cooking more and giving up so much of my favourite unhealthy but convenient food has me kind of depressed. But I'm willing to give it a go....I think

So how are you, my fellow bipolar folk with high blood pressure getting on?
