Day 3 Do you take any vitamins or supplements? If so, which ones and why?

Day 3 of the September Healthy Living and Fitness Blogger Writing Challenge!

I have to confess, I get overwhelmed by many things and one of them being the supplement/vitamin aisle at the grocery store. Waaayy too many options. So I simply assume that I am getting all the nutrients that I need from my daily food intake and just supplement what my doctor recommends.

Apparently, I have a vitamin D deficiency. However, I am terrible at remembering to take the pills so thanks to this writing challenge I am going to recommit myself to taking them.

I am already on my way to having higher levels of vitamin D.

So, yesterday I was on my way out to meet up with some friends for some sushi. However, I realized that I lost my wallet over the weekend (I am so responsible). And the sushi place was closed for Labor Day.

So I sulked at home with a turkey sandwich on honey wheat. It was just not the same.

Thankfully some kind soul turned in my wallet today, I credit this to the time last week where I helped a sweet old day find her class.

Also, all my gift cards better still be in my wallet.

Sushi>>>>>>>>>Turkey Sandwich.

On top of being easily overwhelmed and totally responsible I also make poor life choices. It’s how I ended up not changing my major in college until I was 3.5 years deeeeep into that mess. I am telling you, poor life choices.

The day before yesterday I had gone for a run and stupidly decided to run again yesterday just because I had the free time.

Well the run/walk session was fantastic initially. I was pushing myself on the runs and recovering when I walked. All things were great up until the last mile when I got angry about something I was thinking about and took a funny step. I don’t know about you, but I have a funny ankle, it’s the one that I rolled over when I fell over on my bike on a busy street in Amsterdam.

Ever since that day over 2 years ago, it’s never been the same. And today I am limping around.

I should have just stayed home, and taken a rest day.

Of course I was dramatic, tweeted the entire incident and took pictures to document the moment.

Otherwise it never happened.

Things were looking sooo good at this point in my walk/run session.

Post-ankle madness. At least I am smiling…I think…..

So, tell me about your life choices? The good, the bad and the ugly.

    Dear Sana, please don’t be so hard on yourself :) I really haven’t made all great life choices – I probably would have changed my degree from Biochemistry to something more fun if I could go back and do so! But I take comfort in knowing that we are exactly where we are supposed to be right now. :)

      Thank you Sonal, I truly believe that I am where I am supposed to be right now. And it feels pretty awesome :) And just as confusing as ever, life is so silly sometimes!

    Lol don’t get me started on my thoughts about my life choices. When the fog clears up, I’m sure I’ll have a better answer…but I still wish I were one of those people who believed more that, “Everything happens for a reason.”– although I do love thinking this.

    I take gummy bear vitamins! I get the big jar from Costco, haha. Apparently I need to eat candy type things whenever I can.

  3. The cool thing about choices is you get to make new ones all the time ;)

    I’m catching up on all the blogger challenge posts :)

    My supplement list from my first bodybuilding competition was pretty long because I had to 1) lose 50 lbs., 2) gain lean muscle mass. But don’t worry – my list is shorter this time around (just building muscle!)
