I should be ingesting enough already. But apparently it's not being retained.

As well, fat is essential for vitamin D absorption. If you habitually eat a low fat diet that COULD also be working against your D.
Again, the sun is your friend. Get as much as you can.

I think you indicated you take several prescription drugs currently. IF one of them is a statin, that COULD be why you're low on D, because statins control cholesterol which is involved with your body's natural vitamin D production. You might want to discuss those conflicts with your doctor.

Yup, D presents some tough dilemmas. Over the years we've been indoctrinated to avoid fat and cholesterol, but today those viewpoints are changing. So how far can we go? How much is too much? They're both involved with our D.

Rode the rollers for the first time yesterday. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. Took about five minutes to get the hang of it. I did fall off the side once, mind, but apart from a small fred tattoo there was no damage. Might try again this afternoon.

My car is now officially out of comision. Going car free, we'll see how it goes. Ordered myself a cargo trailer for kitty/grocery hauling duties. Ended up going for this one.
