Happy Day, My Best Buddies:
I started back on my vitamin D supplement after running out for a couple weeks - I'm amazed how much more energy I had yesterday and today! Either it kicked in quickly or I'm imagining it - but either way, I'm better staying on my nutrition plan and kicking A$$ with activity! Gym workout AND a bicycle ride with DH - I'm BACK!!!!

I had a similar experience regarding vitamin D supplements a month or so ago. I have pernicious anemia, which causes a perpetual imbalance in folic acid and the B vitamins, so I chalked my energy fluctuations up to that, but when I went back on vit D - my rheumatologist told me to, due to weird vit D problems autoimmune patients have - I experienced an unexpected energy influx. I'm now thinking the upswing could be from vit D just as well as from B/folate/iron swings. Your experience makes me think it's definitely something to keep firmly in mind when charging my own dips!
Congrats on the energy boon and on your consistency re: nutrition and activity! Go go go!
