Didn't check my weight this morning. I checked it a day or two ago and it showed I was up 2 pounds. I had coffee this morning and forget to weigh myself. I have been walking at least 13,000 steps a day and I still probably gained since last Sunday! I think it was the can of cashews that it took me 3 days to finish, although not a huge can. I don't log everything I eat when I know I am over my calories for the day. I log mostly to make sure I am getting enough protein. I did have one day when I had 3 pieces of bread, one at a time, when I felt starving in the late afternoon. With peanut butter on it. I have to try to just never go off my WOE, but I can only eat just so much fruit and vegetables.
I double checked my lab results. It shows a major Vitamin D deficiency. I am not used to seeing lab results for Vitamin D and there appear to be 3 different tests.
1 Vitamin D, 25-OH, Total.
Reference range >29.9 ng/ml Mine is low at 18.4
2 Vitamin D, 25-OH D3 mine is 17.2 with no reference range
3 Vitamin D, 25-OH D2 mine is 1.2 with no reference range. I googled it and found a reference range of 20-40
All the numbers are low. My doctor said to take Vitamin D3 supplements. The D2 levels seem really, really low. I think D2 is from food, and D3 is from sunlight. I do spend sometime outside but like most of us, try to protect the skin from the sun with sunscreen or long sleeves. Need to google if Vitamin D can be obsorbed through the scalp.
I always have to be worried about something. I forget to take pills sometimes because there is nothing I have to take daily. I counted the Vitamin D tablets I have left and it looks like I've taken over 30 of them which isn't bad since my doctor's appointment was about a month ago. I've put them in a pill box which has slots for each day of the week and a.m. and p.m
I may call my doctor's office to ask about the really low D2 number and to see when I can get it re-tested.
