Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post Wouldn’t it be great if Ryan Reynolds had a short role in a Ben Afflect Batman film? Sigh.Sponsorship: Moose Jaw is a funny name. Check it out. It’s Day 7. Week 2 begins tomorrow. I guess I should be happy I made it through a week. Today the plan is to get my bike going, do yoga and complete about 100 tasks I put…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post It’s Day 6 and Day 5 did not go according to plan and now Day 6 is not going according to plan. When you get into a process like this if you do not have the right food ready to eat at the right time, stuff is going to go off. People who say — to those of us who’ve got food issues —…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post I forgot my lunch at home today so this Hulk image is a bit more appropriate. Why is it with dieting you always feel changes in your body in places you really don’t care about? Like my damn neck. Who cares? The workouts in the scruffy log entry below were pretty intense. I wasn’t even trying to fully do Mary’s workout homework and I…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post It’s a nutty day. I did pass the Canadian Securities Exam by the skin of my teeth. I am very relieved. At least I’ve knocked one pressure off my list. As to dieting, the classic situation occurred. My body used lard that I added on the Easter Weekend to make the first three days feel simple. Then the cravings started at 2:30 yesterday. I…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post It’s now Day 3 and I’m still mentally recovering from writing the Canadian Securities Course yesterday. It was good in one way to plan the first Mary Killer Workout. But mentally I was off kilter for the session. The first full weight and tape measure measurements were done and put in the secret envelope that Mary will keep until the end. I received my…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post In honour of last night’s Supergirl/Flash crossover, in which it looked like Benoit and Gustin had a blast, I found this set photo which seemed to confirm it. I have now finished Day 1. I have the Canadian Securities Exam today so I have to rush. Today will be my first official session with Mary the trainer. Wish me luck on both. The official…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post After all this prep the time has come. Am I able to battle the cravings that are coming or will I simply fold? Given the amount of preparation, I’m not feeling like quitting before I start. I have a lot of frozen meat-and-vegetable meals in the freezer and I’m planning on pulling off this first week. That should develop some momentum. (Batman vs Superman…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post I had my Personal Trainer Assessment today. Basically Mary needed to know how far she could push me on this program. Mary works at Steve Nash Fitness World at W. Georgia and Bute, which is one block from my office. The proximity to work of this gym is crucial for the overall success as time is the killer. Mary put me through a cardio…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post So I’m trying not to panic. I’ve booked the trainer. I’ve been to Costco and bought a boat load of protein. (See image below.) It was funny; I was really looking at this in a price-per-pound mentality. When I looked a chicken there were de-boned, skinless chicken breasts that were triple the price of chicken thighs. I could not image the chicken breasts for…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post I am off to Toronto to visit my mother who is in hospital. These kinds of things really throw a wrench in planning as this trip was unplanned. I am adding a superhero image to all postings for no real reason except I like them and they are part of the fitness theme for this 90-day journey. I have worked out a deal with…
