Mutant Diet Phase 12 Day 5

My second last Crisis image. Oh boy, is Newfoundland in for some weather. Mutant Diet Phase 12 Day 5Thursday was difficult due to being hungry and I stole a few extra calories as a result. I don’t feel like it was a major deviation. What’s challenging is the impact on mood. I am finding myself more reactive to small frustrations, which leads to poor outward behaviour. Part of the mental conditioning is to look for…

Mutant Diet Phase 12 Day 3

Continuing the Infinite Crisis image series. Snow day in Vancouver and Victoria. Mutant Diet Phase 12 Day 3 Day 1 was the all pee-pee day and Day 2 was the Hangry Day. Seriously, yesterday by 2 PM I was a grumpy, rude mess. I’m not happy about it. Today, it’s a snow day in Vancouver. Honestly this place does not handle snow well. The good news is that I walked to the chiropractor, walked to…

Mutant Diet Phase 12 Day 2

Infinite Crisis finishes up soon and I grabbed some images from the comics. A tad cold in Edmonton it seems.  (-33° feels like -42°) Mutant Diet Phase 12 Day 2 It’s a relief that Day 1 went (mostly) according to plan. My body reacts to change fast and aggressively. My diet change was like I had taken a massive diuretic. By 3 PM I was a walking Niagara Falls. This persisted, unfortunately, into the night.…

Mutant Diet Phase 12 Day 1

I’m not sure about the Morbius movie … Snow in Vancouver! Mutant Diet Phase 12 Day 1 Nothing starts a phase off well better than forgetting one’s pre-prepared breakfast. Of all the . . . I did, however, remember the pre-cooked lunch. Too snoozy in the AM. So Starbucks egg bites at 300 calories. The cheese contained in it in violation of the plan, but what the heck. Last week, which was supposed to be…

Mutant Diet Phase 12 Pre-Show

Wolverine was the inspiration … Still pouring in Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 12 Pre-Show Welcome to 2020. In three months it will be four years since I started this process called the Mutant Diet. [ Insert daunted-sounding profanity here. ] I searched the over 900 posts in my diet blog and found that on March 22, 2019 I invented and proved that 2000 calories from non refined carb sources worked. That was Phase 10. This…

Mutant Diet Phase 11 Finale

Somehow Matter Eater Lad is appropriate for this Phase. New Cabinet in Ottawa. I wonder. Mutant Diet Phase 11 Finale This is the finale to a diet/fitness phase that wasn’t. I fly to Toronto tomorrow and by the time I’m back, the festive season is upon us — what I call Damage Control in diet/fitness language. The cold I reported on came back with a vengeance and I don’t get enough sleep. The rest of…

Mutant Diet Phase 11 Day 60

I started Luke Cage season 2 last night. Horrible news from Brampton. Mutant Diet Phase 11 Day 60 Yes, there was cake yesterday. And lots of Indian food. And it was later in the evening. And I wanted more cake. So, I don’t think filling in the chart will help. To honour the attempt to stay on track, I have most of my regular supplies for my regular day. Nothing to see here. Move along.…

Mutant Diet Phase 11 Day 59

Ant Man and the Wasp. Let’s go to Brighton, Ontario. Mutant Diet Phase 11 Day 59 In yoga class today it was kind of like a mini review of the shoulder work from the trainer. There was whining. I tried to keep it in. The lady beside me did not want to hear “Jezis muther fucker bastard god hole jamming fuck,” which was what was going through my head. Ommmmm. And of course it’s my…
