(no subject)
OMG, I found my semagic on this PC! Now I can post to LJ once in a while, rather than once a freaking month/quarter/year. :P
Waaaaassssuuup.
Here, same old, same old. Have been posting more on Sparkpeople and hunkering down as one is wont to do when one lives in 1) a wintry climate with 2) people who also live in a wintry climate but 3) cannot for the life of themselves learn how to navigate said wintry climate. It's a travesty, I tell you. There is no dearth of parking lots, fields or winter to hinder the learning process, so idgi?
How to steer out of a skid
How to stop on an icy road
How to drive a car in winter weather
My January was pretty full up, what with the new year and generally wanting to be more social once the holidays were over.
I did the hiking thing.
I investigated Pride Council, but ultimately decided that I need to up my profile once again before I take on leadership training - CATF, here I come.
A co-worker hosts a radio program on Sunday evenings and I did my first radio call-in interview, talking about high-fructose corn syrup, food additives and what people can do to make healthier changes to their overall diet. The producer liked me so much that I've been invited to do an in-studio discussion on February 28. You can see the Facebook fan page here, and listen in at 7pm EST Sunday, 2/28 at the talktainment site. (They are live streaming at this point, no saved shows, sadly.) You can call in and ask me questions! :D
There were several birthday parties in there, and lots of drinking *memory fuzzy*.
Now...the bleak mid-winter. :-\
I went to the endocrinologist, who lurves me and my HbA1c of 5.7 (blood glucose average 110). But of course, as soon as I think I've got this whole eating-healthy-being-active thing down pat, life throws me a curveball. I'm totally loving the extra carbs and calories right now - I don't know why it never occurred to me that I was in starvation mode. Oh, wait - yes - it'd been so long since I'd eaten the appropriate amount of food that I'd forgotten what it was like to have energy and be warm. *shivers* *cranks up office heater*
Like almost everyone on earth, my serum vitamin D is low (23.8, should be near 50). Unlike almost everyone on earth, it would appear that I get more than enough D3 to synthesize enough to meet requirements (about 2000IU/day). Hopefully pairing the supplement with my Omega-3 capsules will help with absorption. It's disconcerting on the whole to consider the possibility that D3 is only bioavailable in its strictly natural form.
Uh...how YOU doin'?
I will try and get through the flist this weekend and actually, you know, be a friend. :( *irons fingers*
Have a great weekend, dig out and have some fun. :)
