Black Widow and Spider-man. It can still happen. I saw a musical in Kitsilano last night. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 61 Yesterday was a classic. I was on track and added a bit of extra salad at lunch, but then skipped the nuts mid-afternoon due to scheduling issues. Next, the second child is off his game and we’re working his homework together when I thought I would be working on my homework by myself.…
I really want the Fantastic Four to show up in film properly. Ottawa is hosting the American VP. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 60 I have an attitude problem. I read somewhere that ingrained ways of thinking are damn difficult to remove. Self-deprecation goes way, way back. As far as I can tell, dislodging old ways of thinking requires continuous conscious effort and manually inserting positive or (at least) neutral, compassionate thoughts. The further I…
A pregnant Spider-Woman takes on some Skrulls. London Ontario just because. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 59 Yesterday’s training session had a weigh-in, but I asked the trainer to hold the numbers until I’m ready. No matter what though, by the end of June, I will produce a nice nerdy Excel sheet. For what will be obvious reasons, I am switching to a different trainer. In honour of the event, we took a photo showing…
Spider-man in outer space. Apparently in the Yukon there were 100 kg beavers during the Ice Age. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 58 There’s some relief that yesterday was pretty much to specification. Under 2000 calories, 12 km on the bike, intense workout, lots of water and pretty much brain dead by 10 PM. Oh, and unlimited urine production. However I’m not sleeping well. It’s nasty and does not help. Some predictability of energy levels…
The future look of the Avengers? Edmonton grapples with hating carbon taxes and giant forest fires. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 57 I have a bad feeling this whole process is going to boil down to mental health. It does not take much in the way of physical or emotional strain to throw this process off. Yesterday I was supposed to get back on track, but a child’s birthday party and other events threw off…
All the Spider people dealing with the worst bad guys. There’s a bit of sports frenzy in Toronto. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 56 I missed a day of blogging to due an eye test. They put in those nasty drops and blam my eyes were so off kilter I had to lie down for a couple of hours. I didn’t want to go near a computer and, worse, I was so mentally tired I…
Lady Sif, Captain Marvel and Deadpool. That would be cool. Court cases in BC today. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 54 Chocolate and wine last night. Yum. But back in the saddle and if I’m to recover from the four-day weekend, this weekend will have to be as strict as my normal week days. What was weird, until the chocolate and wine, was how absurdly hungry I was even though the calories were normal and…
Spider-man and Wolverine, but Spider-man seems to have a different costume. Apparently the George Massey Tunnel in Delta BC turns 60. It’s probably only been a bottleneck for 55 years. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 53 It’s my 21st wedding anniversary today. I’m still on a diet so at least something is consistent. Bad case of hangry last night. That and some gout. I had to throw the emergency anti-inflammatory drug at it, which seems…
This comes from X-Men vs Avengers. Possible in film? Let’s go to Nova Scotia. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 52 Ouch. Yesterday, my body caught on that I’d cut off the flow of high glycemic index foods by about 10:30 AM. My body then decided to produce water at a similar rate to an uncapped fire hydrant. Meanwhile at the gym, I weighed in, but asked the number be held until next week. The trainer…
Lots of cool superheroes. Let’s go to PEI. Mutant Diet Phase 10 Day 51 Today will be interesting as a super indulgent weekend has just ended. A trainer session is today and the only saving grace is that my right hip seemed to settle down after the yoga class Sunday and a day of rest Monday. I have a new definition for irony. There’s a gelato place near home that is open only during nice…
