Results

Have you ever called a Doctors office to get results?

They don't like it.

They like to remind you that they will call you if something is amiss.

I however do not like the "no news is good news" policy. My mind wanders, and I stress over the unknown.

So I called today concerning my blood test results (well I attempted to call 4x between 9 and 9:45 and the call went straight to voice mail, so I went in).

Apparently all is well. Glucose, B12, iron (which I was impressed at as I'm a pseudo vegetarian).

No reason for me to be feeling so sluggish and unfocused.

No magic pill for me *sigh*

I am now attributing my lack of energy to SAD (such a perfect acronym!). Seasonal Affective Disorder. Which basically means a lack of Vitamin D due to lack of sunlight available in these parts, as well as my total lack of exercise over the winter months.

So to that extent I am now getting my heart rate pumping for at least 20mins a day and getting outside and into the sun. I feel better, still having a hard time with motivation and focus, but maybe I'm just out of practice.....

  1. exercise????
    as in, not sex?

    I'm just kidding i'm not a complete nypmho.

    but like, my idea of exercising is bike riding or swimming or something. not jogging or any of that other crazy stuff.

  2. nope, no sexy time for me these days. I'm also not into jogging, tried to like a few times, its so cheap, but I hated every second. I'm doing a circuit training DVD. Been at it 4 days and I'm already noticing a difference!

  3. phew, it's good to hear you won't be passing it on to your kids. at the same time, i know the symptoms you're going through and how hard it can be to get outside & exercise (i live in minnesota).

    thank goodness summer is here, we're both working out again, and our bodies and spirits will be rocking for the next few months. :) hopefully, some sexy time will find it's way in, too...
