Someone scanned this image from a comic I own that I bought in Toronto as a kid. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 59 The personal trainer session yesterday was intense and I was for two of the kettle bell exercises using the 80-pound red kettle bells. I also finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the Bulgarian Bag overhead swings. I still need to make the hip movement align with the arms but…
The Justice League movie seems to be without a Green Lantern. Maybe they’ll introduce this new girl with a power ring. The weather still sucks in Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 58 The Vancouver School Board Choral Festival had about 400 kids. It was loud. My wife’s choirs did well. I’m now deaf as when the kids all got talking in the cafeteria and John Oliver Secondary … gasp. And the diet went sideways.…
In honour of Logan, here’s a Wolverine picture. It was a really snowy and vile night yesterday in North Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 57 Hi. Welcome to the busy week. A child goes off on a 2-week trip. Multiple music performances. Volunteer board meetings. Oh, yeah, and a real day job I should be paying attention to. A lot. Oh, wait. This is a fitness blog. I hurt my ankle on the weekend…
This Guardians of the Galaxy image is closer to what I remember as a kid. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 56 The sanity chip is not well screwed in. What British sci-fi comedy am I referencing? A funny thing happened on the way to Yoga class. My ankle, between the heel and the actual bone on the side was registering as painful. Out of the blue. In class it was giving me moderate trouble but…
Drax (the green one) is part of Guardians of the Galaxy. I think they should vacation in PEI. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 55 Time to put this derailing train of a diet/fitness program back on the rails. Yikes. It has been 120 km/h all week and when things aren’t right, the eating goes sideways. The advice of taking more sleep is valid but difficult to achieve. The laundry sadly does not march itself down…
Zatanna the sorceress calms me down. Ucluelet by the water is a place to calm down. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 54 Big snack attack last night. I think if I can navigate through the next few days without any major slipups, I’ll be good. I have a meat and veggie supply shortage so I need to shop tonight. Sleep would really help as would fewer last minutes projects with children and strange happenings on…
Early image of Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy. Brandon came to mind today at 14° today. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 53 My lifestyle does not support my weight loss attempts. I am too stressed and too busy. Or, is it that I have too much stressful stuff going on that makes me busy or is it too much stuff making me stressed? Anyway, I think I have to not give up because, honestly,…
I saw a new trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy. Looks like fun. Saskatoon is a meagre 16° today. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 52 Pink sequined outfits and a bad diet day. Huh? Yesterday went according to plan in the morning. I took my son to a dance competition where Dads were scarce, where there were more boy dancers than last year, but existed a stunning number of little tiny girl pixies. Shortly upon…
I found this cover to an old Justice League comic that looked totally unfamiliar. Snow still in Vancouver. Seriously. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 51 I undertook one of my least favourite activities: the early morning workout. Circumstances forced me to reschedule to the morning. Part of the workout required that using a think rope, I drag a punching bag with a rope across the floor. With the personal trainer sitting on it. I didn’t…
I wonder what this guy did to have Spider-man on his hood? Let’s pretend it’s not 1° in Vancouver and go to the beach in Parksville instead. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 50 Wow. This Phase of the Mutant Diet has about a month left. Last night I discussed with my wife the need for us to dial back our reactions to frustrations. These include (but aren’t limited to) other drivers, school system issues, work…
