Vitamin K Sounds Like a Joke But It's Serious Biz

Thursday, January 26, 2012
Day 24

Pretty decent day. Only traces of the cold linger and at this point it could pretty much just be allergies. Throat's a little raw. Nothing too awful.

If I'm up to it, I'll try again this weekend to get a regular exercise program underway. I've been feeling fairly good (cold aside) but haven't had a real burst of energy yet. I suspect that if I start adding a little exercise -- it'll be low impact, probably just walking -- and maintain the reasonable calorie intake that the weight loss will accelerate. Hopefully the combination will spark a little more energy. I know from past experience that I don't have to lose a ton of weight to get that energy burst. I guess I should start wondering if I need to tweak what I'm eating further. Too early to say.

Today's research project was to find food and drug interactions with anti-coagulation medicine. I learned that avacados are rich in vitamin K. So are leafy greens. Perhaps I can't dramatically increase my intake of those kinds of veggies. Hmm.

Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit, 2 oz ham

Lunch: Cold leftover chicken (breast plus some misc pieces, ~ 6-8 oz, no skin), 2 Kraft big slices sharp cheddar cheese, 8 oz V-8

Dinner: Taco salad, spicy pork, 1/2 grapefruit (later)
