Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post I googled superheroes and bicycles and found this. For sponsorship, try Squamish, famous for mountain biking. Let’s talk about cheating. Last night I went to The Billy with Catherine to have a quiet moment (well, apart from the live country music) and discuss some items related to her work for which we needed a child-free hour. I had a beer. Then we went home…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post Golden Age Black Canary image in honour of this week’s Arrow episode. For sponsorship, try Prince Edward Island. I can’t believe I made it through yesterday but at the same time I have the true feeling that I kind of suck. Granted I only started cycling on Wednesday so my legs are going to be in shock from the sudden re-introduction of cycling. Therefore…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post This is a really retro image of The Thing. For sponsorship, try The Yukon. OK. Today is a gorgeous day outside and despite the pain in my legs, I felt it necessary to ride despite what my legs and backside were telling me. Ouch. My legs. And just about every other part. There’s now the pushing through process. At what point am I at…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post Cycling today, I thought I was going to croak on Burrard Bridge today. Hey, Brad Wall might be happy today. Please visit Regina. So, Tuesday’s trainer session with Mary was a new level of intense. The pullups and pushups on an angle with straps as opposed to a machine were crazy. And I got introduced to ball slams and sitting side weight toss. Kind…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post Need to go someplace calm? Try Ucluelet. Today is my second personal trainer session. I’m feeling stronger so I suspect we’ll be able to up the reps and weight. The other request I’ll have for Mary is a revised homework sheet but with alternates in case something like the pull up machine is being hogged like it was yesterday. Which brings me to the…
Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post As I kick off week 2 I am wondering about the flip flopping feelings I have on all this. I feel like I have made progress, but I also feel, at times, hopeless. What I tell myself is that I won’t really have a sense of breaking through past habits and physical conditions for a month. There’s a tendency to beat oneself up for…
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…
