I got some test results back about a week ago that my genetics pretty much suck (thanks dad). My cholesterol was on the tad high side and I am extremely Vitamin D deficient. Living in the NW in the winter time, some vitamin D deficiency should be expected because we can go for weeks on end with never seeing the sun. However my test results indicated that I was really lacking it, so a weekly mega-dose later…
I have decided that Vitamin D is my happy pill. It is amazing how much more energy I have had this last week and how much happier I have been because of it. One side effect is potential weight loss – haven’t seen that happen (again, THANKS DAD for the genetics), but it has only been a week. Plus I figure the long runs I have been tackling each week should help out too. Maybe I will contemplate potentially wearing a bathing suit this summer… (WHOA … wow, that was certainly getting ahead of myself!).
Poor Carter has been sick the last two days. He has been a fountain of snot and really makes us wonder how someone so small can produce so much. Huh. Mystery of life I guess.
Anywho – Happy Friday!
WHOA ! ! ! I have been slim for ALL of my life until they put me on female hormones. Thanks, Lisa for your hormones. You get sick all the time, I never get sick and never have? You get weekly colds and miss more work in a year than I have my entire life. You never have any energy. I never slow down. But we do share one common trait. Both of act like we are 65 years old. BTW, I am just funnin so don’t pull the girlie hurt card. – Dad –
