In keeping with the winter theme, I found a Killer Frost and Justice League image. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 28 The charm of snowfall in Vancouver is losing its effect, but it is sure good for exercise. Take last night. My daughter was at a friend’s and I like any paranoid father, after 9 PM, I trust public transit neither for its security nor its effectiveness, particularly in snow. The fewest flakes seem to…
I thought an image with Iceman would help on a day like today. I could handle Jamaica today for sure. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 27 You can tell you are in Vancouver when it snows because someone in Kitsilano walks around in shorts and open toed sandals, in the snow, but with a decent coat. I’m not sure how well I’m holding onto the diet, but today I feel less feverish. And I did…
I was looking for an image of The Spectre and I found this instead. Guyana is technically more Atlantic than Caribbean, but hey, it’s snowing in Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 26 It’s official. It’s a sick day. And a snow day. I stayed in bed until noon and have managed for forage for coffee. And a power bar. But now I face a million emails I have not dealt with and a conference…
This is what happens when I miss lunch. Guadeloupe is another French Caribbean destination. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 25 Never get in the way of someone on a diet who has five minutes to heat his lunch, another five to eat it and has another five minutes to burp and go into a meeting. I had to skip lunch yesterday and survive on a 1/2 of a power bar. The people in the way…
Here’s a cool team drawing of Justice League and Justice League Dark characters. It’s still so cold here I am even dreaming of Cuba. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 24 O boy. Colds are fun. I must be insane because I went to the gym yesterday even though later at around 3 PM I went home to lie down to see if I could shake the cold. The reason is that today in my normal…
It just felt like a Wonder Woman Day. Please visit Grenada. That’s where my mind went when I felt the cold this morning. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 23 Yesterday was the great Bulgarian Bag workout. I’ve moved to weekly workouts and weigh-ins to try to keep me focused on the process and see if I can make some significant progress for March 28. I’m going to toggle between the Bulgarian bag and the kettle…
In honour of the nasty cold/flu bug that’s going around, I give you Captain Cold and friends. He’d hate it in the British Virgin Islands Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 22 The joys of colds and busy teens. My daughter was in the junior improv competition on the weekend and a team from Kitsilano Secondary won the tournament. He team did have the chance to compete in the wildcard round, which made the effort and…
In honour of seafood on Granville Island, I thought I’d find a picture of Namor fighting The Hulk. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 21 Yesterday was another dining out event that went better than usual. At The Sandbar on Granville Island I treated my wife, son and in-laws to a meal. The trick is to find something not totally boring for the vegetarians and not totally disastrous for the lo-carb guy. I dodge the bread,…
Batman has a large number of death-and-resurrections and I many need that power. But where would Bruce Wayne vacation? Cayman Islands I bet. Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 20 This whole taking enough rest thing is tricky. Even when I do go to bed early the mind takes over with stress dreams. What fun. It’s officially the slogging portion of the diet/fitness program. There’s planning and plotting and peeing on sticks and trying to dodge…
This is a bad ass image of Katana in honour of Asian superheroes. Netherlands Antilles would work. I want a vacation! Mutant Diet Phase 2 Day 19 Yesterday was the dreaded team lunch at Pink Thai. It’s not the team I dread; it’s the carbs. At Pink Thai there’s a cheap (for a reason) set lunch menu; I had pork and vegetables. The arrived with a small salad with wonton. It was OK, but it…
