Just an observation: there are certain time intervals in a day that you CAN get some sun exposure without worring (too much) about UV rays & skin cancer. I do not know about the rest of the world, but in tropical regions the intervals are 6-9 am and 4-6 pm. 15 minutes per day is enough in tropical regions and a bit more in other regions.

Nevertheless, you have more than a couple of hours to get outside and get some sun. Just have a schedule and stick to it :)

One last thing: visit your doctor often and check for overall nutrient levels (vitamins, minerals, etc) and avoid taking supplements before it.

Note that it is exposure to ultraviolet light (particularly UVB) that causes the production of Vitamin D.
