This is a panel from an early Thor/Hulk fight. Next Thor movie will feature another battle. Every few years they talk about Turks and Caicos becoming a Canadian province. Probably that feeling comes to Ottawa every February.

Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 13

My eyebrows lost weight. I told my wife this and she laughed. It’s true. When I grab my eyebrows, they aren’t as fat.

Sadly, the quick summary of my what I think of my body image is “You are a horse-sized git who is lucky not be harpooned every time you walk on Kits Beach. In winter.”

This negative self image persists despite evidence (other than eyebrows) that I’m moving in the right direction – such as the entire set of blog entries for the past 8 months. In my kettle bell workout yesterday, there’s this swing-and-punch exercise that was very difficult with the pink kettle bell. It was straightforward yesterday with the right arm and only slightly wobbly with the left. My clothes fit differently too.

So, is my brain the laggard in this process? Or is it simply the fact when you are in process of changing every cell in your body it just feels icky?
