At least someone is lickin’ their chops…

Doc said to cut out wheat, white sugar, no sodas, no gluten, no grain, no oat – rye –or barley, also no pasta, no bagels, no crackers, no bread – oops mentioned that already.

Coach said no eggs, no cow's milk, no goat's milk, no cheese, no butter, no flesh, no fish –I hate fish so that’s an easy one, no chicken.

Girlfriend said no potato chips, no fries, no McDs, that means no Happy Meals and no Happy meal toys.

Rheumy said – no alcohol. Other Rheumy said 2-3 per week is okay.

Rheumy said hematocrit going down from 40 to 32 is not a big deal and won’t be noticeable. OK…

Also, said taking a drug that inhibits making DNA drug is not a big deal. Excuse me, I like my DNA.

Hematologist said –oh, I can fix that, the RBCs that is…Yes, then I’d need a TUE from USA cycling.

So what’s left that’s worth eating (nutritious and makes me happy) that can help me fuel riding my bike on minimal RBC fumes?

Just bought a buncha cat food that cost a fortune since the 15 year old is getting picky now – isn’t that just like a frickin’ teenager?

Maybe, I’ll eat that…

And to top it all off, the frickin’ Vuelta is boring.
