I saw my gyn. yesterday; I will be seeing an endocrinologist (one I saw for thyroid nodules, so no new doctor, thankfully) and she had her assistant draw blood to test my Vitamin D levels right there in the office. She also gave me a list of calcium rich foods, which included a few things that I didn't know (did you know cumin has a lot of calcium?).
My gyn lost 115 lbs. in 2005. She now is a tri-athlete. I used to see her at the gym, where she compulsively goes everyday at 5:30 AM. Anyway, she just completed a half marathon, so I got a whole earful about that. She keeps telling me she is still "scared" to ride on the road for the most part and how her DH is not active like mine, hence, she goes to the gym and trains early in the AM, so it doesn't interfere with her family life and delivering babies. Although I was the same way at her age, it seems like she has replaced one addiction for another...
Anyway, she gave me a big lecture about not getting down about the osteoporosis because even people who lead super healthy life styles get stuff.
