She-Hulk and Deadpool would be great. Maybe one day. Cold Lake Alberta. Every been there? Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 50 Coffee and donuts. Well, maybe. The plan today is not to do stupid things, but I can’t warranty my behaviour. One thing from the Diet Fix book that makes some sense to me is the diet-by-snacking. In other words, reduce the overall caloric intake by having small amounts of food throughout the day so…
Black Panther and Spider-man from a comic I own. Bet you there’s good skiing in Whistler today. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 49 Yesterday was a mess again. Fatigue does not help eating. But we did get to see Black Panther. One thing that was truly radical was the sheer number of really cool super strong female characters. I Googled “women’s rights in Africa” and this factoid pops up: “More than 1 in 3 women…
I needed a classic image for today. Delta BC. Not just a bedroom community. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 47 There’s no question this is going badly but there are lessons. Rest is important. We went to bed earlier than normal and I was so tired I slept through the alarm. This is not a breakthrough in diet/fitness advice, but we always seem surprised when it’s true. A death in the family makes you that…
I just like Groot and Rocket. Swift Current Saskatchewan anyone? Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 46 In the department of how not to stay on a diet, booking a beer night with friends three days into the restart of a diet may not have been the smartest thing. I soldier on. I had chocolate for breakfast today. Yes, I totally effed up. And for a mid-morning snack? Expensive peanut butter cups. They were good. I…
Wonder Woman 2 is supposed to involve the villain Cheetah. Should be interesting seeing she doesn’t wear much. On my Canadian bucket list is St. John’s Newfoundland. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 45 My brain is mush. I’m not sure what that has to do with diet/fitness, but it’s taking time getting into the swing of ultra low carb. Where Monday was a derailment, yesterday was simply spotty. There personal trainer session helped make sure…
I’m feeling a bit retro today. This is from a 1964 cover. There are relatives in Baddeck I want to visit. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 44 Good grief. It’s taking everything I’ve got not to throw in the towel. Train wreck diet-wise. Started at 2 PM. The small amount of chocolate almonds would have been OK except that I was delayed at work. I forced myself to walk home, which honestly felt like walking…
I feel like restarting this phase is like a Hulk battle. Vacation plan: what about Tofino?. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 43 Well, that was a bit of a gap. But when your mother passes away, I think it’s OK to let your diet go sideways. I know she’d not want me to use her as a permanent excuse. The fact I kept some fitness going is a good thing because I’m still able to…
It’s at times like these that being able to imagine possibilities is good. Like a vacation in the Dominican Republic. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 32 In the “no shit Sherlock” department I can say definitively that a death in the family effects your eating habits. I go to a funeral on Sunday and I’ve been eating poorly since my last blog post. Sometimes I’m on track and sometimes I’m not. I’ve been keeping the…
Earth 48 is a place where everyone is superpowered. It’s cold in Vancouver, let’s try Netherlands Antilles. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 26 I was reading the Diet Fix book and the author used a term. Bioavailable calories. This term covers the fact that some folks (i.e. skinny bastards) can eat whatever they like and stay the same weight while other folks (people like me, fat bastards) look at sugar from across the room and…
Earth 45 was taken over by a Superdoomsday creature that tried to kill all versions of Superman. I’ve always been curious about Turks and Caicos Islands. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 25 The cheesecake yesterday was pretty damn good if I say so myself. Although the folks who make whipped cream from liquid whipping cream must have some kind of nuclear powered mixmaster to be able to fluff it up in a minute. I remembered…
