Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 62
Commence panicking. I have to bring this phase back onto the tracks. I took yesterday off and my wife and I hung out and escaped the children. It was really nice.

We ate well at a fully vegan restaurant in Yaletown. (See link.) But it wasn’t on the strict track. There was alcohol.

So now I face the rest of this long weekend with a challenge on how to get on track. There are 27 days left in Phase 8 and I will feel terrible if I don’t give it a good go. I booked time with a naturopath in late November to see if I can find a reason why my body is hanging onto lard to intently. Any information from that won’t help this Phase but could be useful in January.

Despite a day off, there was a challenging yoga class at noon on Friday and today I did some weight work. The Saturday gym challenged me because I was cornered by a rather elderly, clearly twitchy Dutch guy who thought I needed to know about his 1000 calorie-a-day diet that he recommended. I’d characterize it as Extreme Paleo.

Sigh. About 12 hours into such a regime, I’d be taking hostages. Time to start documenting again and getting back into the swing of it.
