Winter Soldier. I like fun names like Cupids, NL. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 48 OK. Friday was a blowout. My son’s 10th birthday included Indian Food with a startling fondness for garlic Nan bread followed by a chocolate swirl cheesecake. (Less swirl, more chocolate.) Today so far is restrained but chores, chores chores. At least I got some exercise lifting boxes and so forth. I do feel the fraying around the edges of my…
Thor and Thanos. I see conflict coming. Arnold’s Cove NL is calling. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 47 Nothing gives you a workout on a bicycle more than being late for an 8 AM conference call and you only realize it at 7:35 AM. It’s a boy’s 10th birthday today. Cake will be consumed. Especially considering I made it. Despite a focus on rest, I’ve had two days with less than 6 hours at night.…
Spider-man, Falcon and others. Here’s another funny name: Kapuskasing Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 46 Pain. It’s a thing. I was in a rush last night to ride to the Vancouver School Board offices which are at the top of a nasty hill. I was late for a presentation to the VSB and I was a hot disheveled mess. There’s a lasting impression. This morning my RMT took a run at my right hip flexor…
Spider-man and Captain America, who did not talk to each other in Infinity War. Yarmouth is a funny name. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 45 I had my personal trainer session yesterday and we booked that, in two weeks, I will do my second weigh-in for this phase. After the workout, I realized I had to go down a belt notch. How much weight do you think I’ll gain in two weeks? Oh, and this…
Spider-man and Wolverine, who would have fit in great into Infinity War. I look forward to doing this ride this year: Stanley Park to Kits Beach. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 44 I can’t handle it. This is so stressful, it’s not funny. I’m not quitting; I’m whining. There is insufficient reward from sticking to the plan, in the moment, to reach a level of calm. Deviating causes the mental pain associated with a sense…
Spider-man and Dr. Strange and Silver Sable (no idea). Cold Lake isn’t too cold today. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 43 I have discovered a new Catch 22 style dilemma. If I diet strictly, I feel strained and kind of miserable. When I cheat, I have a brief moment of chemical satisfaction, followed by a sense of strain that I have to now “fix” the mistake. You just can’t win. And, given the blood pressure…
Spiderwoman and Ms Marvel. Captain Marvel teased for next Avengers Movie. They are hockey mad in Winnipeg right now. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 42 There’s more to do. What a sentence. No kidding. Happy Mother’s Day. I’m quietly trying to bring the diet back into alignment. I am going to have to figure out how to factor in rest into the equation. Last night, I passed out before lights were out and woke up…
Deadpool and Black Widow. Ever been to the Welland canal? Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 41 Wow. I went to the movies and made a larger dietary mistake than intended. Important safety tip: look up calorie counts of foods before consuming. One thing that’s been on my mind is how fatigued the process left me on Friday. I can take sore muscles and so forth, but when the fatigue goes right inside your head and…
Deadpool and Cable don’t always get along. I have to check accommodations in Prince Edward County in Ontario. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 40 Yesterday went weird. My son had a mishap at school and I had to go home quickly. He’s OK. (His glasses are in for repair though.) But, it was nothing a lie-down and ice cream couldn’t fix. However, I did have to ride home not too long after my battle ropes…
It looks like Deadpool had a Spiderverse doppelgangers moment. According to a British site, Algonquin Park is great for moose viewing. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 39 It was nice to be able to handle a temptation. A relative was in town for only a few hours and I had a meeting that ran over the dinner hour. We landed at pub with seaside view. It was probably the easiest time I did a special…
