A Few of My Favorite Things Birthday Giveaway 2014 - Part 7

Squeeee!! 

Okay, you all know that I'm really big on vitamins right? There are so many vitamin companies that I love but I have to admit to having a special place in my heart (mouth?) for my very favorite calcium bites. 

Chocolate? Lemon? Lemon? Chocolate? Decisions, decisions. Both are so very awesome and like a mini dessert when it hits my taste buds. :)

Most of you also know that I'm a huge supporter of getting the proper labs and paying attention to them.

Hopefully you know what I say about your labs in regards to your calcium level. Your blood work can still show that your calcium level is fine, even when it's not. Think of it like a bank. You have a supply of calcium in your bones and teeth so when you need a "withdrawal" and you haven't "deposited" then that's where the calcium will be coming from. Which is why your blood levels may show that everything is okay. But what happens when you have "withdrawn" calcium from your bones and teeth? Not good.

My lab work has always shown that my calcium levels are good. Then I had a bone density scan (DXA) and to my surprise I have osteopenia (low bone density) although as I said, my calcium levels are good when viewed only through my blood work.

My plan to turn this diagnosis around include weight bearing exercises and an increase in my calcium citrate and vitamin D3. 

The weight bearing exercises? Well, being honest here I haven't really done what I need to do with that but my birthday resolutions include changing that. However, the extra calcium citrate and D3? Well... that almost feels like a reward. :) 

Why? This is why

Oh my goodness! Have you had these yet? Yummy deliciousness in my mouth!

If you've missed the giveaways so far let me explain what I'm doing.

I have been blessed in so many aspects of my life so instead of receiving gifts for my birthday I wanted to share some of my favorite things with you, hoping that you may feel a bit of that blessing.

I did this last year and had a blast. It turned out that I actually did receive something. Giving to someone else and seeing or hearing their excitement is such a wonderful feeling. My blessings just continue. :)

Be sure to enter for a chance to win. The giveaways are awesome because, well, because they are some of my very favorite things! 

Good luck!
