Wolverine and Spider-man, who in their strange ways inspire me on this journey. Where are you for Christmas? Vancouver for us for a change. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Early Finale I declare Phase 8 over on Day 82 of 89. There are a few reasons for this. I had a good strict run for the last couple of weeks and I’m stressed out. My time for the next couple of weeks is insanely busy and…
Batwoman will be appearing in this year’s crossover episode and honestly I’m dying of curiosity. I always wanted to go to Bamfield. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 81 Today I see a naturopath and I’m trying to be open minded. I’ve been at this so long that I can’t imagine someone having a better idea that the thousands of ones I’ve looked at. The focus will be digestion. The key mystery is how can I…
Batman, Constantine and Swamp Thing. There was sun in Vancouver yesterday, but that didn’t last. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 80 I weighed-in yesterday. I am down 4.4 pounds from the Oct 16 weigh-in. That’s about six weeks. I weighed slightly less than this in October 2017. The problem is that the pants I wear now, last year, were tight and two belt notches higher. Now my pants are falling off and I need a…
It’s not as wet as yesterday, but I thought I’d keep with the Swamp Thing theme. There’s probably a swamp in Kenora. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 79 Today is a weigh-in. The last of the phase because the risk of dietary issues as the Christmas season comes along is high. Plus I see a Naturopath tomorrow and I don’t want her office trying to weigh me. I’m on Day 79, which means I technically…
In honour of Vancouver weather today, I give you Swamp Thing. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 78 Last night was one of those opportunities to throw in the towel. I had a plan with the family to go wheat free, but that restaurant was closed and the next best thing was Rocky Mountain Flatbread which is lovely but it’s still pizza. However, no alcohol, no dessert, no known sugar. And when I got home, it…
Staying with She-Hulk, I notice in this image Deadpool is surprisingly un-scarred. For some reason I want to hide in Brighton Ontario. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 77 On a soggy day, I contemplate a Tuesday weigh-in (last for Phase 8) and a visit to a Naturopath to try to discuss digestion. I worry the Naturopath will be like everyone else and assume I’d dieting wrong instead of actually looking at the data I have…
There were a couple of Things and She-Hulks at the gym today in Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 76 Because I took the day off, yesterday was weird. There were carbs and I tried to penalize my calorie count as much as reasonable. I was still burning 1500 more than I took in. At what I call the stinky gym, which is not my regular one, but is super close to my son’s ballet…
I was trying to sneak in an episode of Green Arrow last night but it didn’t work. Calgary has been in the news. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 75 Friday morning. It’s raining. I just had a breakfast with carbs. It feels good. If I stay strict for the rest of the day, things should be OK. If you look my sheets for the last week, I’m burning 1100-2500 calories more per day than I’m…
I’m trying to catch up on my Green Arrow on TV. It’s filmed in Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 74 For a moment there, I thought this would be OK. But yesterday the fatigue kicked in. I had to go home and have a nap. The yoga class was weird because poses were difficult due to weakness in shoulders. Lots of strength elsewhere, but you need it all to hold these poses. And the…
I think we should have a black Superman in film. TV shows were filming in Kitsilano. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 73 I’m less freaked today and I’m wondering if my system has figured out that I’m being strict on calories and is finding a way to retain mass as a retaliatory action. The workout yesterday pressed the boundaries of repetitions not the actual weight. I think my days of fast jumps in weight are…
