Another Avengers image. My thoughts turn to hiding on Bowen Island. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 24 Yesterday was annoying because I got hungry at 10 AM in a bad way. This is not normal for Phase 7; I tend not to have the deadly munchies until after lunch and almost always after dinner. Knowing that today was my first day back on the bike, I added half-a-slice of bacon to the morning eggs-and-bacon to…
My second Avengers image. A lot of people are thinking about Toronto today. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 23 I can handle fairly easily the hunger during the day. I lapsed last week into the chocolate snacks but that madness seems to have passed. Fingers crossed. What I have to figure out is the evening. Because I like dining with my family, on Mondays, we aren’t all home until 7:30. So I delay. A coffee…
I am doing an Avengers series this week. Huh. It’s warmer in Halifax. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 22 Monday. A fresh start. Sunday is the official cheat day but I found myself trying a little harder not to overdo it. One thing from the Diet Fix book was a description of how a weekend can turn easily into a three day cheat with the following weekdays all being used to correct the course. I…
This is a cool cover I never saw before. Just go to Niagara Falls and click on something will you? Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 21 Sunday. The Vancouver Sun Run is on and that makes for traffic hell until well into the afternoon. Lucky for them it’s sunny, but I hope the runners are wearing an extra layer. 5° C. Due to a supply problem, and the fact I was really hungry this morning,…
Apparently in the comics Catwoman and Batman marry. I’ve always wanted to go to Osoyoos. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 20 Yesterday was a classic time where I threw the diet away. The normal sensation is to feel guilty and beat myself up, but it occurred to me that it might be instructive to compare plan to actual and see what went off course. The plan was indeed to see a movie with a friend…
I needed a retro Spider-man today. I must be hungry if I’m thinking of Nanaimo. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 19 It seems a stricter diet simply gives you more chances to feel guilty and beat yourself up. I was really stressing over being super hungry last night. I did find myself grabbing scraps of food while working in the kitchen. Even though I applied a bit of a penalty in the calorie count, I…
Deadpool is putting together X-Force. Should be fun. Deep Cove in Vancouver is worth the visit. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 18 Proof in the chocolate almonds (not pudding) that you can easily blow a calorie restriction is included in this post. I’m not particularly angry at myself because the strain was getting to me and I needed a break, even for an hour. I managed a nice walk home and I’m hoping the balance…
Unless Disney buys every movie studio on the planet, this crossover won’t happen on film. More movie filming in Kitsilano today. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 17 It occurred to me after yesterday’s rant over sleep advice, that had the article acknowledged real life (e.g. parenting challenges) and suggested to try one of the pieces of advice, I might have been less cranky. Catch 22 #9032: If you have sleep apnea, one of the symptoms…
Deadpool and Domino. I saw the latest Deadpool 2 trailer. Maybe I could get a good night’s sleep in Tofino. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 16 I read a how-to-get-better-sleep article and I just had a rant with a friend at work. These articles simply think you are a weak-willed butt-faced dickhead because you can’t organize your children, your chores and take a moment to chill AND take “proper” sleep every night … OMG the…
More Justice League Dark. At least it’s clear weather in Cape Breton today. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 15 As I start week three of Phase 7, I noticed that the cravings and sheer pain of this process is less. I must be adapting but I hope I’m not adapting to a slower metabolism. I don’t want my body to gain back weight that easily. This assumes I’m actually losing any weight. I went to…
