Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 15

This pretty much sums up how the parents are feeling at my kid’s school. -16 in Toronto Sounds like January to me. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 15 I’m not sure how this week is going to go, but I’m pleased I managed to prepare my supplies for the week. It was a dumb weekend dealing with this mess at my kid’s school. Important safety tip: don’t piss of French Immersion parents, particularly the Moms.…

Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 14

This pretty much sums up my mood. -14 in Niagara Falls. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 14 I am so not in the right frame of mind for a diet. The Vancouver School Board is threatening to move my son’s French Immersion program to another school that’s a 35-minute bus ride away which passes through Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. What does this have to do with diet? Stress = stress eating. Asking me to condone such…

Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 13

What I like about Spider-man was his cheekiness. Gasp. -13 in New Brunswick. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 13 Well, this sucks. I still feel like hell. This bug fools you into thinking you’re OK and then the next morning says, “Ha ha, fooled you; you’re still sick.” I forced myself to the gym where it’s too busy and there’s a selection of odd characters. What’s with white old fart guys (who are only a…

Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 12

She-Hulk would make a good movie. Apparently Moose Jaw is no longer the home to the tallest Moose statue, apparently. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 12 Argh. I’m a mental midget. I still feel like a sloth in living in my airways and I’m trying to stay on track with the diet but, I’m feeling so weird that I don’t know what’s what. Coffee. That’s an idea. I’ve been working on the premise that a…

Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 11

Mysterio is in the upcoming Spider-man movie. A hot spring bath at Harrison Hot Springs might work. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 11 Oh come on! I just had my breakfast; I ate homemade cookies last night with reckless abandon; I slept horribly; and now I’m hungry again – 10 minutes after breakfast. WTF? To say this is frustrating to do with a cold and constant interruptions in my schedule is an understatement. My issue…

Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 10

Nick Fury is in the upcoming Spider-man movie. I am excited. I would like to recover from my cold here Tofino. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 10 Day 10 of Phase 9. Oi. I’m so not on track, it’s not funny. I feel weird from the cold and, I suspect, the Harry Potter potions. My thinking from a stress management perspective is to continue to refine the process, get rid of the cold and carry…

Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 9

Team shot! I need to hide somewhere. How about Campbell River? Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 9 The fact we’re collectively trying to figure out weight-loss with no understanding of how individuals vary in weight acquisition (or not) is frustrating. I guess I have to put that aside and continue sniping at the medical community for not knowing. The diet/fitness industry seems to be chasing the latest fad one at a time until they hit…

Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 8

I found this looking for something else. Let’s try Burnaby, where there’s a by-election coming. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 8 I put together a series of tweets for a doctor who wrote a diet book. As I read the usual diet debates on news sites, I can’t escape the feeling that we have no idea what we’re doing. I therefore reject all criticism of what I’m doing until someone does me the courtesy of…

Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 7

This pretty much covers it. It’s only -6 in Winnipeg. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 7 Good grief – where to start? I have a cold. I sound like a 20-year smoker. This is not helping. Shoving small ducks up my ass would help more. I’m trying to follow all the potions from the Naturopath. I have no idea if they are helping or will help. It’s a 60-day process and with the cold masking…

Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 6

This isn’t the Captain Marvel you were looking for. Complex legal and brand issues have led him to be Shazam. I wonder if the Prime Minister made it back to Ottawa in one piece. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 6 Blast. Can’t workout as I suspect I’ll hork all over everyone. Damn cold. I received my new set of Harry Potter potions from the Naturopath. I am conflicted. My science mind wants to quack test…
