moondove's Journal, 11 July 2014

I'm back at it again! Have been eating whole foods since May 1, 2014. Lots of veggies, a good amount of protein, yummy wild caught salmon, and a variety of berries, and 1/4 banana a day. Cut out almost all bread. Measure everything. Husband bought me a Wii U at Christmas, then recently a Fit monitor that I began wearing July 4 and I just love it! It keeps tracks of my steps and how many calories I burn each day, then I weigh on my Wii board, and upload my stats each evening, (and take a pic of me). It's very inspiring and keeps me motivated.

I recently switched to a new Primary Care Dr who is excellent. I had a physical and found out I was vitamin and mineral deficient. Especially very low in Vitamin D, my result was 13, it is at least supposed to be 30 or above. Now I am taking 50,000 IU once per week and will have it checked in 4 weeks. Now I know why for the last couple of years I have been experience severe fatigue and muscle weakness. I did not realize that being low in Vitamin D can prohibit you from being able to lose weight, among a bunch of other scary scenarios. Live and learn.

Low D is a recently discovered phenomenon in the medical community. My doctor started pushing that on me about a year ago. Said as we age our bodies find it harder to "make" vitamin D in the sunshine or to assimilate enough from our foods. It is heart healthy too I think.

Bikerhal Yes, it is heart healthy too! Sunshine does not work very well when we become fat. (I recently learned that as well.)
