yay, vitamins
Went to the doctor. Everything's the same--blood pressure's down, cholesterol is borderline--except that somewhere along the line I've gotten somewhat Vitamin D deficient. Which seems ridiculous as I live in Florida, but you know, it was dreary and cold for a few weeks, and I've been stressed and buried in work, so it's very possible that I have not, in fact, been soaking up sunlight in 15 minute daily increments like I ought.
So I'm taking a supplement. She told me to do 2,000 IU, but I want to get back in the habit of a daily vitamin, and mine already has something like 400 IU (and I'm almost finished with the bottle), so I'm doing a 1,000 IU supplement with my vitamin, and when I buy more vitamins, I'll figure out the D IUs and go from there.
Plus, it's nicer out now, so I foresee more outside time over the next few weeks. Until it gets so hot I want to DIE.
