An old Iron Man cover that I suspect I used to have but died at the Cottage. Which looks somewhat like this cottage near Picton. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 49 Yesterday was a full-on dietary train wreck, but without the desserts. The Vancouver Bach Choir concert was on, was amazing, and I drank and ate to celebrate. Today, I must reel myself in and try to deal with the stressors that are not helping.…
Hulk and Wolverine from the cover of Wolverine’s first appearance seemed to work for today. I really do want to go to Cape Breton Island someday for summer vacation. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 48 This is the kind of day where diets go sideways. I could not face a power bar or making bacon and eggs this morning so I delayed with chores and then went to Starbucks and had a bacon, cheese and…
This is fairly representative on my mind today. Positively balmy in Toronto today for a February day. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 47 Last I checked exercise was supposed to help one’s mental state. At this point I’m feeling totally bummed out. I’ll have to see with my sore limbs what I can do that the gym today. All this pain and just too much stuff going on clearly led to fries. It was a…
I really needed a superhero crossover today. Winnipeg is a civilized -6° today. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 46 Literally I am sore all over. I am considering skipping the gym or doing a drastically reduced homework session. The problem with the working out process is when your trainer suggests another set or something there’s a tendency to say sure, what the heck. You don’t know you’ve gone past a boundary later. It’s like driving…
In honour of anti-bullying day I give you Metaphorpho. I checked the Regina page today and it’s not bad at -1°. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 45 Yesterday’s trainer session was interesting. Weight up. Body Fat down. There’s another measurement their magic scale takes which is how much water is in my body. Historically when I ate foods that I’m allergic/sensitive to I retained water. Now there’s a way to measure this. Once I get…
After seeing the very silly Lego Batman yesterday, I offer this image of Batman villains. I’m feeling nostalgic today for Sandbanks Provincial Park. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 43 There is definitely a correlation between situational stress and food & drink. When I look at my food log over the past couple of days, I see a few carbs sneaking in and my wife and I saw fit to buy and consume wine. We did…
This image is in honour of taking my son and a couple of friends in Vancouver to Lego Batman. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 42 Give the stress surrounding some aspects of my life right now (privacy and decorum prevent me from going into detail) I suspect that we’ll see the effects of cortisol levels on my weight coming Tuesday. This weekend I need to prepare food for next week and I haven’t had enough…
In continuation with the cat theme, this is Black Cat a complicated villain/love interest for Spider-man. Halifax maybe snowy now but wait until summer. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 41 So, the alcohol showing on the food diary is strictly therapeutic. I failed a safety tip. Don’t go to Costco hungry. I had bad food there, but I don’t think it was too egregious. However, I was so hungry I was a public safety risk.…
I was looking for an image of an obscure character called Hellcat and I found this ensemble picture. Time to start planning summer vacation. Parksville anyone? Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 40 Oh crap, I’m way past the halfway mark. Day 40 of 77! Despite my weakness with homemade vegetarian nachos, I’m feeling more on track that any time prior in this Phase 2 of the never ending Mutant Diet. I was sore after a…
I was looking for Nightwing, the grown up Robin and I found this cool picture. I wonder if the US Virgin Islands are paying attention to what’s going on at the mothership? Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 39 Yesterday I think yoga saved my day. I was really becoming more Quasimodo than Baryshnikov in terms of posture due to the Tuesday personal trainer session. As I limped into the yoga class I warned the instructor…
