I saw a preview for the Doom Patrol TV show. Bonavista is only -3°; It’s almost that cold in Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 53 Let’s talk about blood pressure. He talks about treating it the way I hear artists talk about composing music. I.e. I have no idea what he’s on about. However, I’m in the normal-ish zone and will be on pills until I can reduce my weight and my situational stress.…
The Skrulls will feature in the Captain Marvel movie. I wonder how much snow Whistler had given this longer winter BC is having. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 52 There’s a new machine at the gym that simulates rolling over a monster truck tire. I like it. There’s an inclined arm press that seems easy until the 9th rep when your arms and shoulders abruptly feel like they’re going to jump off your body. I…
Retro X-Men and Fantastic Four. It helps me. I had to look. Winnipeg is -23°. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 51 Monday was a bust. Let’s just move along, shall we? Today I see the trainer and I’m better supplied to avoid whoopsies. The anxiety/stress combo is really, really not helping. You get to a point of mental pain where you don’t care. My goal today is clean eating. I see the trainer to make…
Dream Girl in the bottom left. Big by-election in Burnaby today. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 50 Well, that was fun. Nothing like the whole family taking ill over the weekend to derail eating habits that were hardly on the rails in the first place. So I am here to ask myself to carry on. Last night we all had a mild fever so going to yoga class and sharing seemed like A Dumb Idea.…
I think I need all these folks to help at work today. Snow then sun in Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 47 I had a conversation with a friend who had done on what would ultimately become a keto diet. Super strict. What was interesting is that, due to many years of friendship, I trusted his work. Also his assessment of my work over the years was free of judgement, which was interestingly refreshing.…
This is Ms Marvel who becomes Captain Marvel. If you go trekking in the back country near North Vancouver, be advised you might die. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 46 Yep, stress will lead you to sugary foods that you don’t normally like. I had a meeting about my son’s school’s seismic upgrade and it led me to sugary foods. Honestly. I don’t think stress per se is the issue, it’s the snacks that you…
I’m having trouble with nightmares so I thought of Dream Girl. Tricky finding something not NSWF. Regina, -23° Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 45 The numbers on the sheet show a pretty good estimated calorie count. Although I think the Fitbit has a minimum calorie burn for people as this number seems fairly familiar. Oh, well, it’s the data I have. I could feel the benefits of not eating as much that’s as rich and…
I thought it would be good to kick off again with Wolverine. I have to call someone in Calgary. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 44 I took a few days off for stress management reasons. However the stress of not making progress on diet/fitness has reached a level that’s causing me concern. I’m in the no win situation of being way off the diet upsets me and leads to negative self-messaging while being on track…
This represents the stand off in my head. It’s warming up in Vancouver, but what a mushy mess. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 40 Valentine’s Day had a lot of chocolate so let’s move along from that mess onto a wet, cold, wintery Friday in Vancouver. It’s a Pro D Day at school so the kids are home and many downtown workers took the day off as it’s also Family Day on Monday. I wish…
In honour of Valentine’s Day, they did have an arc where Wonder Woman and Superman had a thing. There’s a really romantic hotel in Sooke. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 39 So, yesterday food wise … I wrote it down but honestly it’s too embarrassing to scan and document here. Today is Valentine’s Day. I saw cupcakes in the hall. Lord give me strength. On the theme of trying to maintain a good mental posture,…
