Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 38

Spider-man’s next bad guy. I always wanted to go to Bamfield. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 38 I may live to regret adding cycling. Ouch-y. Yesterday’s weigh-in was a 1.4 pound loss for the week. See the chart below to see an average of exactly 2 pounds per week over five weeks. I still don’t look at the actual weight. I need to feel like I’m in a truly new range before I want that…

Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 37

The Fantastic Four did not appear in Avengers Endgame. Pooh. Green Party breakthrough in Nanaimo–Ladysmith Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 37 A weigh in day. And I just ate chocolate almonds because I got stupid hungry and I’m stressed. It’s also day 2 of riding the bike for the first time in the season. Predictably my backside was saying “ouch” this morning. I also notice that the Fitbit calorie counter doesn’t seem to pick up…

Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 36

These characters were some of the few not in Endgame. Toronto is receiving more shocks about serial killers today. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 36 So I tried to offset the big blowout day by being super strict with calories, if not fully low carb. The calorie count seems low for how I was feeling, but if there’s any sense of justice, the cheat day won’t damage the work from the previous week. I doubt…

Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 35

Avengers Endgame tonight at 6 PM. Then the media blackout ends. That’s 10 PM Saint John time. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 35 Hah. I just realized I forgot to count the alcohol from yesterday. Oops. It was a blow out cheat day and I have to be super careful today. Cheat days are a double edged sword. You feel a relief to let go, but there’s a kind of guilt mixed with fear that…

Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 34

I decided to drop by DC for a minute. Tickets for Endgame tomorrow. I’ve having trouble with the anti-climate change provinces like Ontario. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 34 I am waiting at a Mercedes Benz dealership waiting for my Smartcar keys to be reprogrammed. I’m enjoying the most expensive “free” coffee, water and ham-and-cheese bun ever. Yesterday I did a full high intensity workout that included 8 rep cycles of kettle bell burpees. (Those…

Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 33

I needed Spider-man from a comic I own. Saskatchewan in court over carbon tax. Don’t get me started. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 33 The story for today is you never know what will be accomplished at the gym. I tried the slight weight increase in the bench press and did 3 sets of 10. I was having trouble doing 3 sets of 10 last week at the lower weight. Then it was the deadlift’s…

Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 32

I used the keyword “wolverine crazy” and found this with The Punisher and Ghost Rider. That would be cool. Early icebergs in Newfoundland. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 32 I was completing my log sheet and realized that yesterday was not great. I was exposed to free tempting foods and the yoga class time and the location of a subsequent meeting forced me to eat lunch out. I was tired and hungry and in a…

Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 31

X-Men looking terribly heroic. According to the CBC, Manitoba may have a way to offset flooding. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 31 I have a scratchy throat. Make it go away. Weight loss. Here’s the deal, I gained 1.4 pounds as a result of the 3-day blowout on the Easter weekend. Then I lost 2.4 pounds last week, which fixed the blowout and then took me down another pound. Total weight loss for Phase 10…

Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 30

Spider-man with Carnage and Venom. Seems right. I’m thinking about Bracebridge, which has had trouble with flooding. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 30 Good Lord. Day 30. Sometimes wine is necessary. The Vancouver School Board decided to phase out the French Immersion program at my son’s school. It likely won’t affect him directly but it’s a decision I fought hard against. Now I feel like shit and the diet, I think, only suffered mildly. If…

Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 29

As we move toward Dark Phoenix, here’s Cyclops and Jean Grey. Ottawa is still dealing with flooding. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 29 It’s a bit of a guess from yesterday vis-à-vie calories. I normally do a Sunday mini cheat but I was trapped at a food court with a long delay between meals so that never helps. I noticed when I wrote up the diet log that there was no giant sugar-based cheat. I…
