I wonder what this guy did to have Spider-man on his hood? Let’s pretend it’s not 1° in Vancouver and go to the beach in Parksville instead.

Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 50
Wow. This Phase of the Mutant Diet has about a month left.

Last night I discussed with my wife the need for us to dial back our reactions to frustrations. These include (but aren’t limited to) other drivers, school system issues, work issues and children doing stupid stuff. We are pretty much setting the dial to 8 where a 4 is more balanced. (By the way 10/10 on the scale is where you are so angry that are can be arrested for a violent offence. E.g. road rage.)

Relevance to diet/fitness? I found with my frustration with hurt arm muscles that diet/fitness activities became more frustrating and I became angry. And it helped me eat more of the wrong things.

Conscious dialing back to 4 will help I think. The reasoning is that I never found my driving skills to improve when I was apoplectic after being cut off by another driver.
