inaccurate measuring from body composition scale from 9.1% BFP
I forgot to measure my waist today :P

Finally the weather has cleared up and the sun is in sight. It doesn't look like it's going to last long though lol. I can't remember the last time I felt so hungry as yesterday. I just couldn't stop eating. :)

edit: I'm reading an interesting article about vitamin D. Here's some important parts:

"...Remember, vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. The more fat cells your body has, the more you may be at risk of a D deficiency, because the vitamin D in your body becomes trapped in those fat cells. When comparing obese and non-obese people, researchers have found those who are obese have 50 percent less vitamin D circulating in their blood than people of normal weight, despite equal sunlight exposure..."

"...As we get older, it naturally becomes more difficult to convert sunlight into D3. For example, when exposed to the same amount of UVB radiation, a person who is 70 years old will make 75 percent less D3 than a 20-year-old..."

"...Let's look at an example. If you're fair skinned, sunburn easily and live in New York City, you would need to spend just four minutes outside on a sunny 4th of July to produce about 1,000 IU of vitamin D, but that turns into 40 minutes on a sunny New Year's Day. Under those same conditions, a person with dark skin would need 16 minutes on July 4 and about 4.5 hours on Jan. 1 to produce the same amount of D3 [source: NIAR]. And on those days with complete cloud (or smog) cover you can only expect about 50 percent of UV to penetrate..."

"... Live above 37 degrees north of the equator -- in the U.S., that'd put you north of Washington, D.C. and north of the Utah/Arizona border -- or below 37 degrees south of the equator, and you probably aren't getting enough UVB exposure to naturally produce adequate amounts of D3 year-round..." - Some articles say that, it's above the 42 º parallel that it becomes impossible to get enough vitamin D through the sun during the day. I live above the 37 º but bellow the 42 º so, depending on the articles I read, I'm either getting enough or not lol.

This is from another article "...A lack of vitamin D – known as vitamin D deficiency – can cause softening and weakening of bones and lead to bone deformities. In children, for example, a lack of vitamin D can lead to rickets. In adults, it can lead to osteomalacia, which causes bone pain and tenderness..."

edit: I ended up weight training today with mixed results. This was 2 days rest. I think I'm going to maintain this resting period for some time and see what happens. If I don't get any progress I'll probably add one more day. :) Today I let the calories go beyond the limit again lol. I hope this is somehow mitigated by the weight training lol... I'm taking it very lightly and never taking any set to failure. I'm betting on more frequency instead of more intensity to produce results :)

I never go without sunscreen during those hours and my levels are fine i had everything checked 6months ago(i was feeling weak)but we do have an extreme uv rating nearly all day long where i live so it might be different here. Plus i'm olive skinned so going by that it should be even harder for me to get enough?

Sorry for late comment i'm a bit behind at the moment my poor girls had bad colds(in 30°c heat go figure:-):-()

That exactly what I was thinking Ninaj heheh. In Australia you possibly have a higher uvb exposure rate. But I don't know for sure :P That article says that the right time can go from 4 to 40 minutes depending on the power of the sun at that time or on where you are. If your current levels are good the way you are doing things, you should definitely not expose yourself any more than that! ;) Yes, the darker your skin is, the harder it is for you to get the same amount but maybe that's being compensated by the extreme sun down there. Whatever it is, it looks like you're doing the right thing! ;)

Thanks for apologizing but you really don't have to! If you come here after one month without saying anything, you still don't have to apologize! Engage in conversation as a pleasure, not an obligation! ;) heheh. I know it's hard to (for me also) do but that's how it should be.

May your kids get better! That's definitely strange. It can probably happen if she got her nose wet or something. Colds usually enter our bodies when our noses get cold because the virus is always present in the exterior of our body and the blood vases in our nose, which will normally be protecting that entrance with white cells, retract and leave that entrance unguarded. That's the theory I've read at least heheh :)

That's not a problem cause I don't have air, so if I don't have the windows down I would sweat to death! HA!
