Switching gears back to DC. Turks and Caicos still sounds nice. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 28 I was worried last night that I had eaten too much and then around 9:30 I started to get hungry. I was happy to have the feeling of hunger. That’s a departure from the norm for me. I have to see the doctor tomorrow to sort of the sleep apnea crap. I hope I can try out a…
I found this old cover. I ended up finding an escape in North Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 27 I had an OMG moment while reading the label of a Burnt Almond chocolate bar. On Friday afternoon, I was feeling really in need of a chocolate fix and I wondered just what I was up against. They were on sale, which made the cost was OK but, I read that there were 200 calories…
My last Avengers image for the week. If anyone talks to be about Infinity Wars I will smack them. I’ve been looking at Tsawwassen. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 26 I’m coming up to the first month of Phase 7, which I’m hoping is a turning-point phase. The funny part is I don’t know in what direction this is turning. I had a tough conversation yesterday where I found myself stressing out over the diet…
Another Avengers image. I’m looking at Ladner. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 25 I saw the Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) for my lower back today and apparently my transverse abdominal muscle needs to strengthen. Joy. I was also late for the appointment (on time, according to what I’d written down) and now really pissed off with myself. I rode for the first time yesterday and my strength was pretty good but my backside whined a…
Another Avengers image. My thoughts turn to hiding on Bowen Island. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 24 Yesterday was annoying because I got hungry at 10 AM in a bad way. This is not normal for Phase 7; I tend not to have the deadly munchies until after lunch and almost always after dinner. Knowing that today was my first day back on the bike, I added half-a-slice of bacon to the morning eggs-and-bacon to…
My second Avengers image. A lot of people are thinking about Toronto today. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 23 I can handle fairly easily the hunger during the day. I lapsed last week into the chocolate snacks but that madness seems to have passed. Fingers crossed. What I have to figure out is the evening. Because I like dining with my family, on Mondays, we aren’t all home until 7:30. So I delay. A coffee…
I am doing an Avengers series this week. Huh. It’s warmer in Halifax. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 22 Monday. A fresh start. Sunday is the official cheat day but I found myself trying a little harder not to overdo it. One thing from the Diet Fix book was a description of how a weekend can turn easily into a three day cheat with the following weekdays all being used to correct the course. I…
This is a cool cover I never saw before. Just go to Niagara Falls and click on something will you? Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 21 Sunday. The Vancouver Sun Run is on and that makes for traffic hell until well into the afternoon. Lucky for them it’s sunny, but I hope the runners are wearing an extra layer. 5° C. Due to a supply problem, and the fact I was really hungry this morning,…
Apparently in the comics Catwoman and Batman marry. I’ve always wanted to go to Osoyoos. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 20 Yesterday was a classic time where I threw the diet away. The normal sensation is to feel guilty and beat myself up, but it occurred to me that it might be instructive to compare plan to actual and see what went off course. The plan was indeed to see a movie with a friend…
I needed a retro Spider-man today. I must be hungry if I’m thinking of Nanaimo. Mutant Diet Phase 7 Day 19 It seems a stricter diet simply gives you more chances to feel guilty and beat yourself up. I was really stressing over being super hungry last night. I did find myself grabbing scraps of food while working in the kitchen. Even though I applied a bit of a penalty in the calorie count, I…
