Hulk and Wolverine from the cover of Wolverine’s first appearance seemed to work for today. I really do want to go to Cape Breton Island someday for summer vacation.

Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 48
This is the kind of day where diets go sideways. I could not face a power bar or making bacon and eggs this morning so I delayed with chores and then went to Starbucks and had a bacon, cheese and egg breakfast sandwich. The evil of wheat.

I saw Hugh Jackman on the Tonight Show and his Wolverine diet (an inspiration for me for this diet/fitness regime) came up and they fed him pasta. Had he done that during prep for any of the movies, he’d have lost a week on his routine. This makes me think, what am I losing today? Quite possibly my mind, but as I mentioned to my wife last night, my definition of blowing my diet is a piece of bread where in the past that phrase would have meant a Costco-sized bag of M&Ms.

Speaking of pain, I figured out what happened to my arms. The muscles at the top of your forearm and the very bottom of you bicep are used for gripping. Try grabbing your cellphone case really hard and notice what tightens in the arm. Those muscles got cooked on Tuesday. I think I know how to avoid this going forward.

Today, no exercise, rather I’m going to see Carmina Burana in which my wife and daughter are singing.
