. Do you monitor your blood pressure and pulse rate?
Yep - just did it 110/81 p106 Not sure what is up with the pusle! I haven't had much caffeine today - though I did walk a whole golf course and up a couple of steep hills...had a big supper... 2. What was the last sporting event you attended? My son's last cross country meet of his high school career. (That is probably why the pulse rate is up! - That whole LAST thing.) 3. How much exercise did you get today? See #1 4. Do you own a bike? If you do, do you ride it much? I own a mountain bike and an exercise bike. I don't use either one nearly enough. In fact, I don't remember the last time I took the mountain bike off the hook in the garage. 5. How many television channels do you receive? About 70 on cable |

1. Do you monitor your blood pressure and pulse rate? -- not routinely; my bp is on the lower side of normal and my pulse is average.
2. What was the last sporting event you attended? -- probably a bowling match that my son was in. 3. How much exercise did you get today? -- do 12-ounce curls count?? 4. Do you own a bike? If you do, do you ride it much? -- have one; don't ride much. 5. How many television channels do you receive? -- about 150, though I don't watch even a fourth of them (you just can't get all the good ones in a basic satellite package. They need to come up with plans that let you pick and choose only the stations you really want!). |

1. Do you monitor your blood pressure and pulse rate?
No but I bought a pulse rate monitor for when I start exercising in the basement. It's still in the box! 2. What was the last sporting event you attended? Atlanta Braves baseball (took Chris' Flats) 3. How much exercise did you get today? I'll change this to "in the past 24 hours". I take a yoga class after work Thursdays. It's very nice! 4. Do you own a bike? If you do, do you ride it much? I've had surgery for carpal tunnel (199  and tarsal tunnel (2005&6), and am afraid I'll get far from home and in pain if I ride a bicycle. I do have a stationary bike in the basement, and plan to start riding it whenever DH gets a VCR set up down there so I don't get bored. And it'll give me more motivation - to go watch what's recorded, and exercise while I'm there.5. How many television channels do you receive? I don't know. I'll have to check and get back to you. Atlanta has 14 without cable. I'd probably be happy with that, but DH wants cable for the sports. I do like the Discover Channel, Sci Fi network, The Learning Channel, and occasionally even the History Channel. But the things I make a point to watch every week, are on the big 4. |

1. Do you monitor your blood pressure and pulse rate?
Nah... isn't that what we have doctors for? 2. What was the last sporting event you attended? My daughter's netball finals. 3. How much exercise did you get today? Ummm does getting up and walking down the hallway count?  4. Do you own a bike? If you do, do you ride it much? Yes I do own one, but it's been in the garage for maybe 10 years now. I think there's a law about making other people witness anything like that. 5. How many television channels do you receive? I'm not sure. We have pay TV, but I really only ever watch one show on that... DIY Network. The kids use it a lot though.... Fox and Nickelodeon. We get 5 stations free to air, which is mostly what I watch.    |

1. Do you monitor your blood pressure and pulse rate?
Agree with Sandra - isn't that what doctors are for? LOL! I actually check my pulse rate at the gym. They stop you and you check it for 10 seconds every 15 minutes. 2. What was the last sporting event you attended? I don't actually go to that many, I mainly watch them on tv. The girls do dancing, so if that was classified as a sporting event, that would be all I do! 3. How much exercise did you get today? Seeing as it is far too early in the morning to have done any exercise yet, I will say that yesterday I went to the gym for 45 minutes. 4. Do you own a bike? If you do, do you ride it much? I do own a bike, and it is sitting in the garage. Hasn't been ridden for about 3 or 4 years! It has a baby seat on the back which I need to remove and won't ride with it on still. And the girls aren't quick enough riding for us all to go riding together yet. One day! 5. How many television channels do you receive? ABC, 7, 9, 10, SBS, 31 and ABC2 - 7 channels. We don't and will never have, Foxtel which has heaps more! |

I think the 5 questions kinda died...but I felt like answering some...so I found an old but the most recent set...
1. Do you monitor your blood pressure and pulse rate? No. 2. What was the last sporting event you attended? Um...I think I went to the rival football game this year... 3. How much exercise did you get today? I climbed a total of 15 flights of stairs today. (all my classes are on the top floors of buildings...) 4. Do you own a bike? If you do, do you ride it much? I do. I haven't ridden much lately since it's been cold though... 5. How many television channels do you receive? 4? I think? I don't really watch TV anymore. That's just in my room though--we do get more channels in the date room and tv room of our house. But like I said...I don't really watch TV much...

1. Do you monitor your blood pressure and pulse rate?
I check my blood pressure only when I visit my parents. They got a blood pressure monitor for my dad after his heart attack. I regularly check my pulse rate when I'm on the treadmill at the gym to make sure it stays in my training range. 2. What was the last sporting event you attended? I went to one of my nieces' gymnastic competitions a while ago. Even the youngest gave it up a couple of years ago, and this was when there was still two of them doing it. Probably about five years ago. I have ambitions to actually enter some fun runs, but so far this hasn't progressed beyond the thinking-about-it stage. 3. How much exercise did you get today? 30 minute walk to work in the morning, 30 minute walk home in the afternoon. Today was an easy day, no gym. 4. Do you own a bike? If you do, do you ride it much? Never owned a bike as an adult. 5. How many television channels do you receive? Seven, same as eanay: ABC & ABC2, SBS, Briz 31, 7, 9 & 10. |
