In a variation on the Justice League, we find a girl Shazam. Let’s check in on Bay Roberts Newfoundland at 1°. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 5 Things that make you go hmmmmm. At today’s breakfast, my body pretty much said, “Where’s the rest of it?” Obviously five days in I’m not acclimatizing to the reduced calorie count. Unsurprisingly, even with ear buds, meditating in a mostly empty food court surrounded by smells of cooking…
Shazam and Constantine are magical entities. Family members heading to Victoria this weekend. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 4 I hate that a new approach to an old diet seems to take effect fast. I noticed a change in my nose. Again. My nose lost weight. That’s good I guess. But I steel myself for the date in the future where I weigh in and the scale once again barfs on me. In yesterday’s yoga…
Technically there’s a Shazam family. Not sure how that plays on screen. 8° and rain seems right for Ottawa today. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 3 It’s Day 3. I made it through Day 2. I felt tightly all over and if I could make money from urine production, I’d be rich. I did venture into dairy-and-carb because it came to last call for food last night and my son had a bit of leftover…
The Shazam movie comes out this weekend and I thought I’d honour it. Spring in Winnipeg. -1° and light flurries. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 2 I lived through day 1 with a much more strict diet. Making sure the first day does everything planned is important. The new compressed diet log needs some tweaks to make sure I’m reminded about meditation. That was funny because there’s a ton of choices on the Insight meditation…
I think Wolverine fighting Deadpool represents my challenge. Only 1° in Toronto. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 1 It’s oddly exciting to start something new. Even though it’s a lot of the same with 500 fewer calories. My previous post shows the overall plan, but today I had to really psyche up. The first challenge is that there’s a freebie muffing/coffee thing going on at work that I have to completely avoid without sounding like…
I’m calling all superheroes to help me with Phase 10. Forecast for Vancouver needs to get a little warmer for cycling. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Pre-Show Last night I sort of celebrating 3 years since I started the Mutant Diet by drinking beer. I know, right? It was March 22, 2016 I took my first photo with my first trainer. I am now three years into this and I have a fitness habit. I was…
Big Superhero fight! And a snow fall warning in Vancouver in March? Are you kidding? Mutant Diet Phase 9 Finale I officially declare Phase 9 to have ended early with an utterly inglorious end. It was a complete bust and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Why? Illness and situational stress overwhelmed my self-discipline. How do I fix it? A tough question. Obviously reduce stress. But stuff does pop out of the…
I want to meditate like Dr. Strange. A balmy -11° in Saskatoon. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 58 I have no actual hope of succeeding in Phase 9. There are reasons and I don’t know if I care. I know that going back to where I was before is not an option because the strength I’ve developed, I don’t intend to give up. On the mental health front, if I don’t handle my situational stress…
I needed retro today. How can there be pollen in Vancouver when feels like it’s 2°? Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 57 Another restart. I had a close call with a muffin this morning. The panicked thoughts about all the various obligations led to the “screw it” mindset. Which nearly led to a muffin. I had been strict diet-wise for nearly two hours and it seemed incredibly lame to break it now. This week is…
Yesterday’s image made me think of if these two teams had ever met. At lot going on in Ottawa, eh? Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 54 I write this post while eating chocolate almonds. I consider them a serotonin food. I am hoping to do a full high intensity workout today. The real issue is keeping the brain calm. There are so many distractions and stress points and I have to ask my noodle to…
