What's on your Wednesday menu?

Good morning, everybody!

My son sent the weather forecast from Denver and they may get as much as 46 inches of snow in his town. Some of the mountain areas may get 60 inches. I guess the snow totals out there are notoriously inaccurate until right when the snow is on top of them, but it does sound like they are going to get walloped. We told him to make sure that he stocks up on snacks, etc. in case the cafeterias cannot stay open.

The Crossfit Open starts on Thursday night with the announcement. This year, I am officially a Senior (55+), so will get reduced scale of weight and movement standards. With being back and forth from Florida, I don't really feel ready, so will just do it for fun.

QOTD: Camel-like periods of sex abstinence.

Breakfast: Protein Bar

Lunch: Hamburger

Dinner: TBD

Have a great day, all!

QOTD: It drives me crazy that men cannot listen to a problem without deciding that they must give you advice on how to fix it. Sometimes I just want to vent, not be told what and how to fix.

OMG - I've had that happen a lot, too! DH does that as well. I should have thought of that!

We have a rule, if one of us just wants to vent we start the conversation saying exactly that. It seems to help to know that going in.

How is your clotting time? I need to take extra vit K (I take a lot of K2), dry K, water soluble, or I start having bleeding issues. I had to stop taking fish oil, because my blood got "too thin".

I don't eat a lot of greens, because my gut has issue digesting them. I'm pretty sure I still malabsorb some fats (IBS + no GB), so the only K I should be OK absorbing is dry formula K1.

Beside K- other factors that can contribute to bleeding, weak blood vessels are minerals, like iron, copper (very important but seldom tested), and things like really low cholesterol (under 150), and not enough bioflavonoids to strengthen the blood vessels.

You know...I don't know about the clotting time. My cholesterol was 166 a few months ago. I know my good cholesterol is low. I see my GP in April so I'm going to ask him about it.

Also - number of platelets. Mine are "normal" but on low side.
