Two more days until I'm off on summer holiday!
Work has been building up, and I'll probably be clocking a little overtime before I get to leave on Friday, but I don't really mind. Most of my packing is done (watch me panic about this tomorrow and on Friday anyway D: yikes), and I've actually done some research to try and find things I want to do while I'm away. I rarely do this. I don't know. It's like I don't really like plans. I like being surprised and seeing where the day takes me. ... but I do of course realise that I should make the most of my time while I'm on holiday and try to experience as much as possible, so ... uhm, I am doing an honest attempt. But it's been surprisingly difficult. I don't have any specific dates or outings sketched out. Just basic ideas, plus a list of festivals that I would like to attend.
You know what, I feel like a completely different person lately. My doctor mailed me my blood test results following my sick leave a couple of months ago. She'd noted that I have vitamin D deficiency and strongly suggested I start taking supplements. Which I did, and the change is ridiculous. I'm starting to suspect that this is what's been "wrong" with me all this time. My energy levels are way, way up. I used to need to nap all the time. I fell asleep while watching films or playing games or doing things I'd been looking forward to. That need for sleep has completely disappeared. I feel more alert, and I'm able to stay on top of things at work in a way that I couldn't before.
I have also lost a lot of weight. I haven't done any running since last year. When I first started running (two years ago?) I had a goal of losing 5kg, but secretly I wanted to lose at least 10. After about two summers of running, I was down about 3-ish kg.
After a couple of weeks of taking the vitamin D supplements, I felt a lot fitter, and I thought I started looking a little different. So I weighed myself for the first time in ages, and ... I am at my initial secret goal. I am down 10kg since I first started running. This just doesn't make any sense to me. I've been weighing myself once every week for a couple of weeks now, and the weight has been steady, I even seem to be losing still. :S it's just ... weird. Who knew vitamin D could have such an impact?
