At the gym today, my Wellness Coach took my blood pressure, which is always exactly 120/68, maybe even 110/60 if I'm feeling a little run down, but the moral is it is never high, and today he took it on my left arm, and then my right arm and it was 132/90. I think he might not have been the best pressure taker, and I had just gotten off work and was a little stressed because I was running late. It might have been high, but I am nervous about it being that high. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday, and I'll wait and see what my pressure is then before I get too nervous.

Low fat Acorn squash, as I adapted it from the Better Homes and Garden Cook Book
1 medium acorn squash, cut in half and seeded
1 Tbs butter
3 Tbs brown sugar
Juice from half a lemon
Cinnamon to taste
Put the squash in a microwavable baking dish. Microwave on high approximately 10 minutes.
In a small sauce pan combine and melt butter, brown sugar, lemon and cinnamon.
Pour butter/sugar mixture over squash and microwave for an additional 2-3 minutes To better infuse the flavor, poke the squash and baste often.
Mash with a fork or spoon and enjoy!
