I have learned that in order to keep myself happy, less depressed, less moody, etc., I need a lot of Vitamin D. And holy cow what a difference it makes! I really like feeling happy! Richard was telling me that in the ER when people come in that they give them a shot of like 100,000 units of vitamin D no matter who they are. Also, when I went to the doctor, she told me, Vitamin D is a huge deal! All kinds of things don't work right in your body when you don't get enough Vitamin D. And for my body, she is definitely right! I notice a difference within a couple days. It's good stuff. I don't take 100,000 units of course, but about 10,000-12,000 a day, and that works well for me!
I also just learned that due to my bad back and hip issues there will be no more jogging for me. Not sure how I'm going to get my weight down now because that's the way I've always done it in the past, but I'm determined to figure it out. I still walk because that is good for my back and all of me. I fast walk and have added weights. I have also added a little weight training with that. We'll see what happens. My goal is to keep going strong until my birthday, evaluate where I'm at, and then move forward with what works and add more things that work until I can reach my weight goal. :) Next year I plan to go to the Fit Expo with Richard, only this time, I plan to be in shape!
