My systolic number is always 20 points higher in the doctor's office. Since my bp is borderline, my doctor "suggested" that I take my bp every other day or so. The variation is interesting.
I've been doing the No S diet (http://www.nosdiet.com/) for the last 4 months. The core of the diet is:
No Snacks No Sweets No Seconds Except (sometimes) on days that start with "S"
It is less a diet and more a way of creating better habits. These are my problem areas. The "S days" give me a safety valve so I'm not inclined to throw the whole thing out the window. I'm within a couple pounds of where I want to be and I hope to continue to eat this way to maintain it.
