Vitamin D

I can't believe it's been 5 days since I last blogged!  I promised myself to get back on track starting today, and so far I'm doing a pretty good job of it!
A few things I've realized work against me if I don't make sure they happen...
Making my lunch and breakfast everyday.   If I rely on whatever is availiable and at hand, I never really make great choices, and I still have major issues with portion control.  And you know what kills me about those bad choices?  99% of time, they're really not worth it.  Certain things are worth it, good quality delicious food that I love, well at least I'm enjoying on the way down...But some lame ass half dried bagel from work worth 13 points?!  SO not worth it.
I have not been to a meeting in 3 weeks, first it was vacation, then I was busy with a cake order, then I was on my period, excuses excuses.  Who am I hurting when I avoid these things??  MYSELF.  And I decided that I wasn't going to to that this year.  I PROMISED myself that I wouldn't do that anymore.
So here I go, back to being awesome.
I got a diagnosis finally today with all my joint pain, thank God, especially today, has been really hard.  My body is really hurting bad today.  SO, I have a vitamin D deficiency, which causes joint pain and depression.  So I am hopeful that I'll be feeling better all around soon enough.  My doctor told me a normal, but absolute lowest level your vitamin D should be at is a 30.  Mine is at a 9 !!!  No wonder I feel so awful!  So I have a script for mega vitamin, that I'll be taking for 2 months.  I want a trip to the bahama's, dr's orders, but my bank account says otherwise.
On a positive note, I have pushed through the pain and have not missed a workout yet.  I have also started tracking again.  Yay me!
That's all for tonight, I'm going to ice my achy joints, and have sweet dreams of feeling better soon.

LOVE LOVE LOVE you ladies!
