Now that its gettin' hot out here, are you avoiding the outdoors? About 75% of adults are deficient in Vitamin D and avoiding the sun's rays might not help. The minimum number of International Units of Vitamin D recommended by doctors is 400; many doctors recommend as many as 1,000 units daily.
Yes, slather on the SPF 30+ and grab a liter of water and enjoy a 15 minute walk outside but don't forget to eat plenty of Vitamin D rich foods!
1 cup vitamin D fortified cereal = 4- IU (Wheaties, Multi-grain Cheerios...)
1 cup vitamin D fortified milk = 115-124 IU
3.5 ounces fresh salmon = 360 IU
1 whole egg = 25 IU

One month LATER
So I needed a little more recovery time than I originally bargained for; it happens right?!
The good news is that I'm back and working on being better than ever! I hope you, too, are taking steps to maintain, regain, renew your fitness.
I am working diligently and oh, so very carefully, and recovering my fitness; I haven't been so sore in years! The pain and tenderness is pretty awesome though and I'm digging the great feeling of accomplishment the end of each workout brings.
As you're journeying through, keep in mind that everyone slips back on occasion; the step up is where it's at! As always, my mantra is think specific, write it down, look at it often and document failures and accomplishments!
For the month of May, I'm working on bathing suit season! My goal is to loose 1% body fat: small, specific, documented and obtainable in a short period of time.
Ready, set, GO
