Time for an inappropriate Deadpool comment. Also a good day for a birthday party in Richmond BC.
Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 35
It’s a Sunday with a marathon in Vancouver and a trip to Richmond for my son’s 10th birthday party.
The real birthday is later, so cake will be made later. I outsourced for today.
It’s also Stop Beating on Yourself Day, Robert, you cloth-eared git.
Clearly, it’s not working but at least I’ve toned down the insults I deliver to myself.
I was hoping as I aged to have a sort of I’ve-seen-this-all-before zen quality to my thinking, but instead the anxiousness seems to increase. I think children had a lot to do with it. No one has ever said, “now that my children and 16 and 10 years old, I’m just so much more chill than I used to be.”
Chronic nerves, lead to chronic nervous habits. Time to gently change the course of this.
The connection to diet and fitness is that there are so many more diet/fitness opportunities to beat up on yourself. There’s motivation – i.e. I want to look and feel better – and then there’s masochism.
It’s a challenge, not a personal failing.
