Its The Sunshine Vitamin

You know it is not going to be a good conversation when you answer the phone and your doctor's nurse says, "Have you been taking your cholesterol medicine?" 262 folks and I am not going to go into the other numbers because it isn't good.

Then there was the final zinger....... "you have a Vitamin D deficiency " Wait, isn't that the Sunshine Vitamin? Then the rest of my life flashed before my eyes...... I am heading for a low fat no fun diet. I am going to meet up with a dietician that looks like Jill on "The Biggest Loser" and my days of french fries and carrot cake is over. I will have to eat all of my meals outside because I am lacking in the sunshine vitamin.

I am trying, really trying to remain upbeat and positive but it is so damn discouraging. I quit smoking and my breathing goes to hell in a hand basket. I wake up every morning feeling like I have an elephant on my chest. Then my blood test results come back really crappy. Truthfully I have several trails selected that I want to go on but I am afraid that I will have a heart attack and die. I am trying to make my son go with me.

As far as being low in the Sunshine Vitamin, I have a prescription waiting for me. As far as my cholesterol is concerned, a diet would probably do wonders for me.  I will be going on my hike tomorrow by myself.   Expect pictures.
