Earth 44 has superheroes, but they are all robots. St. Lucia sounds about right. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 24 How completely mental was I to restart this process? Honestly. A few minutes ago I went and bought cookies for the team I work with because it’s my wife’s birthday and I’m kind of off my nut due to the family critical illness. More destabilizing is the fact that while I was making a 90000…
Earth 43 imagines a world where a vampire virus takes over. Martinique has a lot of sunshine to help. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 23 Well, that was a terrible restart. I have a highly emotional situation to blame, but we all know it was my hands that fed my own face. The exception was doing the gym homework the trainer gave me. That was fairly intense and I’m still feeling it. I’m not sure…
Earth 42 imagines a world of child-like superheroes. I would like to hide in Guyana Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 22 – The Restart My last entry was Jan 26 and I’ve been dealing with a family member’s critical illness. Every time I went to the hospital or considered what led to this illness I am inspired to go to the gym. With the exception of a few of the days, which were travel related,…
Earth 38 imagines a world where 1937 and 1938 Superman and Batman age normally and their offspring take on their roles. Friends of mine are in the Cayman Islands. I barely want to talk to them. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 12 Dear Diet/Fitness Program, I know I’m not even two weeks into this but sadly, health matters regarding a family member 4,386 km away have called me away for a few days. I’m hoping,…
Earth 37 is super high tech, but the heroes a bit more anti. It’s 30° in Aruba. Is that too hot? Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 11 I managed to get back on track after The Chocolate Almond Incident. This despite a series of psychological pressures ranging from an ailing parent to a DoS (Denial of Service) attack on my server. (Bloody Russians.) Emotional situations make me want to bake brownies. And watch superhero shows…
Earth 36 is only slightly evocative of what’s familiar. It’s 28° in US Virgin Islands. Wet and cold in Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 10 Pick an addictive substance. It will not compare, in my case, to chocolate almonds. I didn’t train wreck completely, but I have to manage mental and physical fatigue so that this does not happen. I think this is a universal tip: get to the gym even if the exercise…
Earth 35 is a different bunch. It’s 28° in Anguilla. Sigh. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 9 I guess the good news is that despite being wickedly tired, I avoided the snack attack problems. Of course I haven’t been able to do as much exercise as I want to. This diet/fitness process is certainly an endurance test and the shift from thinking weight to strength is interesting because, although I feel some clothing loosening, I…
Earth 34 has a seriously mixed up look. Barbados . Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 8 It’s the start of week 2. There’s a combination of feelings that can be characterized by “wow, that was fast” and “oh crap, I’ve been at this for ages”. Yoga was tough last night, but it showed I was still recovering from last week’s personal trainer session. This was because the teacher’s class focused on a “splits challenge”, which…
Earth 32 is a mix-up of people and their super powers. I’m kind of hoping a plane mix-up will take me to Netherlands Antilles. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 7 Last night, for the sake of science, I ate a couple of 2-bite brownies to see if this salt mouth condition would change. It seems to have been cut back substantially. I can’t now tell if it’s an active thing or a lingering sensation. Week…
Earth 31 is a waterworld and thus has a pirate theme. Jamaica was famous for pirates. Mutant Diet Phase 6 Day 6 So I feel like I’m continually lick a salt stick. A couple of days ago, I started having a salty taste in my mouth very much like – Ontario people will get this – the taste you get in winter after you handle shoelaces that have been covered in road salt and then…
