Teen Titans as they moved along. I’m scared to look at Vancouver hotel prices. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 25 I had a cardiac stress test today and I passed. There are “no limits” on my choices for what I can do for cardio exercise. I was not surprised, but apart from a sense of relief knowing that I am not facing some structural issue with my heart, I am still faced with the massive…
In the 1980s they launched the New Teen Titans phases. It snowed in Calgary. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 24 It was chilly this morning. My exercise was standing outside a school and filming traffic. The things I do for my children. Yesterday was a little better diet-wise. The personal trainer put me through my paces and pushed my limits. I was really zonked by the evening but today I feel normal. What I don’t…
I’m going to work through Teen Titans phases. It’s not raining in Tofino, oddly. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 23 It’s with some sadness I have to admit that chocolate almonds is a decent pain reliever. Damn. The cold has not let go either and my daughter had a sore throat and fever last night. I remain pessimistic about my sanity. Odd thing about workouts. It’s taken over two years to feel a significant change.…
Early Teen Titans. If you really want rain, try North Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 22 With my cold receding slightly, I’ve looked at what I’m eating and there’s “carb creep.” I’m making little decisions thinking, “Oh, it’s not that bad.” The problem is that I’ll get past the halfway mark and be unhappy I made that many little exceptions. Plus there’s Thanksgiving this weekend so I want to indulge a little. Therefore being…
Last of Avengers vs X-Men. Next week, Teen Titans. There’s more in Terrace BC than you’d think. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 21 I ran out of gas and ate pizza. Wine. Chocolate. But, oddly, I’m still lower that I thought on the calorie count. Whaaaat? The problem is the ingredients are going to slow down my lard removal. Dairy and wheat are not good for me. If I’m careful today I should not have…
OK. It’s obvious why I picked this picture. I have a new client in Arnold’s Cove NL. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 20 Again Yes, Day 20 twice. I skipped a number back on Day 14. Ugh; I can’t even count. Yesterday felt like a more than 2500 calorie day. Maybe I’m missing something. It was a classic Run Out of Proper Food and Eat at Costco mistake. The cold is not helping. Today I…
A retro Avengers vs X-Men! Let’s hide from the news in Hunter River, PEI. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 20 Argh. I don’t have my chart rigged to properly record my weight training. I have to try again. I also have more exercises than I thought. I’ve been battling a cold and I’m trying to maintain an exercise effort but not get too much into the strain zone. It seems that the muscles are quick…
More Avengers vs X-Men. Fredericton New Brunswick has a deadlocked provincial election result. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 19 I took some more time to think about calories in and calories out. If you equate these in any way, it’s a false equivalency. I feel like with weight loss we’re in the situation where the only tool we have is a hammer and the problems all look like nails. In the diet/fitness case we have…
More Avengers vs X-Men. The Fall colours in Caledon should be starting up. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 18 There’s a new pain killer in town. Chocolate and sugar. The personal trainer session was awesome in that I did a lot and moved up in all my weights and added new exercises, but man I was sore. When I’m tired and sore, I hit the bad foods. Dang. In the good news category, my Fitbit…
More Avengers vs X-Men. Ottawa was in the news for scary reasons. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 17 Yeah, well, yesterday was OK until emotional eating and drinking happened. I thought the calorie count was low and then I realized I forgot the wine. Whoopsie. I want to bring your attention to a new situation called size-shaming. Not entirely fat-shaming as there’s a certain amount of muscle involved. I was trying to track down a…
