Spider-man and his offshoots give me the most comfort. Speaking of discomfort, hernia and all, I went horseback riding near Parksville. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day -2 In two days Phase 4 of the Mutant Diet starts which involves me preparing for October 6, the schedule date for my hernia repair. Somehow repair sounds better than “operation”. The goal for the 31 day period is to max out muscle, lean out where possible and not…
Ms Marvel strikes again. Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 127 I think for time management reasons, this will be the final entry for Phase 3. I have about five minutes before I see the personal trainer. I’m feeling kind of rough and it’s not simply from staying up late drinking red wine with friends. The smoky haze in Vancouver is getting to me. This is the time when I should be weighing the past and…
Ms Marvel and Spider Woman. Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 126 Phase 3 ends Wednesday. There’s a difference between putting a positive spin on something and mindless optimism. I have a method of 6-days ultra strict and 1 cheat day that seems to be working. There’s a combination of significant discomfort followed by a release. Today I’m back on track and I actually wanted to be back on track. My innards truly let me know…
Ms Marvel at maximum power. My future travel is taking me to Ontario. Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 125 In the department of not making sense I had two glasses of wine last night and was wasted. It had been an early day and on the strict side diet-wise. (Today is a cheat day.) But it was emotional because my daughter did have her wisdom teeth pulled and there’s something that plucks at the core…
Ms Marvel turned into Captain MarvelHere’s what the Travel In BC site has for restaurants. Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 124 I had to wake up at 5:30 in order to make sure my eldest child was feed and moving 8 hours in advance of having her teeth pulled. We snuck out and headed to Siegel’s Bagels where I had eggs benny on a bagel, but with some effort I managed only to eat about…
Ms Marvel is the predecessor to Captain Marvel, which is an upcoming movie. Vancouver is still way too smokey. Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 123 Accepting that something is difficult does not mean that you are whining. But I find I’m whining a fair amount and I want to move from whine to acceptance and, maybe on Saturday, to wine. I’m hoping that if I write about my fears that they’ll stay here in the…
My last Justice League image. I saw a cool news piece about tall ships in Halifax. Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 122 I am displeased. Rear tire of my bike was completely flat. At least it was before I started riding this morning. I am down a belt notch. Pity the damn scale doesn’t seem to get the message. If you look at the chart below, you will see that my weight in the last…
Justice League Dark. I wish that movie would come out. Vancouver is supposed to be super hot today. Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 121 I’m panicking. It isn’t because I see the personal trainer today to find out what type of odd expression I can see on her face when she looks at my freakshow numbers from the scale. However, I am proud that the gym moved the scale from the front of the gym…
Justice League with Earth 3’s Crime Syndicate. It’s nice and cool in Tofino. Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 120 Back in saddle. Can I go back to bed now? There’s not enough coffee. The key issue is controlling mood and attitude. Perhaps a start would be to avoid the news. The only real change is that I don’t feel as desperate. The cravings may have lightened. I wasn’t 100% carb free yesterday because I had…
I love these group shots. Looks like Justice League Dark is in the mix. Check out my latest Sophie’s and Fireworks article. Mutant Diet Phase 3 Day 118 Yesterday’s cheat day was good. Pancakes. Beer. Hamburger. Not always in that order. On Friday though I was tired in a new way. Normally when I’m dragging myself and laundry up and down the stairs at our place, it’s’ my muscles that are whining. But in this…
