New developments

After having felt crappy for so long, I recently made a conscious choice to make taking care of myself my top priority. This may sound simple, but for those of you who know me well are well aware of my tendency to put others first and put myself last. I finally realized I cannot do it anymore; it's just not healthy. So now I'm currently being mindful of what I need to do for myself to be healthy, joyful, and passionate about life while balancing taking care of others. This means I am getting back into exercise, alternating between walks during the week and running in my neighborhood on the weekends. I'm also eating ALOT of veggies and fruit. While I would like to drop some weight (and need to do so), I am not focusing on that as the ultimate goal because I want to be able to stick to this healthy lifestyle. Weight loss will be a secondary perk to this vital change I'm making.

A few weeks ago I had a physical done (bloodwork) and got the results the other day. Turns out I have low Vitamin D levels. Normal levels are between 40-100 and mine is 11! That's what I get for living in a minimal sunshine area. My doctor recommended I take strong doses of Vitamin D (which she prescribed) for the next 12 weeks....so I'll be doing that too. That's the update on my health.

In other news....

This really has nothing to do with what I was just talking about, but I found it to be funny and amusing....maybe even 'meant to be' (haha). On my commute to work on Wednesday, an attractive man sat beside me....which never happens, especially considering there are rarely attractive men on the bus. I wasn't sure why this particular guy seemed intriguing to me, but let's just say it was an enjoyable distraction to that part of my commute. I wanted to say something to him, but what's the chance I would see him again and furthermore, what would I say? There is a fine line between being friendly and being creepy. I didn't want to be the latter.

Yesterday (Friday morning) I happened to take the same route (there are two possible routes I can take and I switch off depending on the day,etc.), again on my commute to work. 10 minutes later, imagine my surprise when I look up at a man walking down the aisle looking for a seat.....and it was HIM. And he sat BESIDE ME AGAIN. I almost couldn't contain myself (nervous and amused by this coincidental event) and once again, I froze. I almost busted out with a comment about the fog (it was extremely foggy), but all I could do was glance at him now and then when he wasn't looking/paying attention. I must think of something to say to Hot Bus Crush. Help, my readers. What are some good, subtle things I could say without being lame? Haha.
