What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

Good morning ~ Very sweet cookies! So happy it's Friday, I'm ready to relax. I have a short day at work today. I just need to finalize a few things and pack up. I have a pedicure and a hair appt this afternoon, then home to nest and relax. I was looking on my blood panel results for vitamin K and there is only K1, is K2 a special test? The test they used to check clotting time for surgery was called PPT.

QOTD - I'm still in a hard Steven King phase. I just finished the Mr. Mercedes trilogy and started The Outsider. I have so many books on my read list it's insane, but the heart wants what the heart wants and right now it's Steven King. TV - right now is only Yellowjackets. I haven't had time to get into anything new, but the next couple of week I will be looking and binging for sure. Great question and great timing!

Accountability -Prefect. This is my last day of liver shrinking diet, tomorrow is full liquid.

3 sleeps left

B- coffee, FLP

l- FLP

d - chicken and salsa

Have a wonderful day!

Now I see it too!

When you finish the Outsider, will you watch the hbo series or do you need time between reading and watching an adaptation?

Yes, I will watch it, but I will have to get over who they cast for Holly. A co-worker showed me a scene from the show and it really messed with my head!

Once you adjust to the characters not matching your brain characters (which is always a thing for me except for with HP which was cast so well), I think you'll love them. It's a really talented cast.

I don't think there is test for k2. I know we need k2 to put the calcium and other minerals into bones. I often take mega dose of k2. Like 15,000 mcg of k2 mk4,

According to my clinic, all the fat-soluble vitamins are special tests that are ordered separately. Mine doesn't say just K1, so could be differences in labs. K is the vitamin I've struggled the most with, so I do take dry forms of K1 and K2 regularly.

Have you read any of Kings books written under the Bauchman name? They definitely have a different vibe to them. I only have read one but it was pretty good.

Good morning everybody!

I didn't eat until I got back from the gym last night. That was between 8:15 and 8:45. Which would be fine except that I have to get 12 hour fasting bloodwork this morning. So, I am counting down until 8:45 so that I can finally get my draw and eat!! The hospital with the blood clinic is about 45 minutes away, so after I post, I will hop in the shower and head over.

Then I am stopping at a nearby diner on the way home for steak and eggs. Plus all of the coffee. And a big tomato juice.

Today is a work day, technically, but more of a personal day. I will catch up on a few things at work, but mostly just doing personal errands to get a head start on the weekend. I need to mail something, get my bloodwork, order some paleo treats and condiments, and organize my workouts leading up to the meet I entered into June 3rd. All the things that don't actually involve work.

Marilyn's friends invited us to join them out for brunch on Sunday. I haven't seen them in awhile, so I'm looking forward to it. But the restaurant that they chose is all junk food. I kind of expected brunch would be pretty easy to find something close to on plan (ham, eggs and a Bloody Mary would have been perfect). But I will do my best not to blow up. Marilyn did say that she could cook a ham for next week's meals.

My youngest has registration at 9:00. Hopefully, it goes smoothly. Older son's registration is unchanged.

QOTD: Was I the last person to watch The Last of Us? We have also been watching Fire Country. Its pretty good.
