More New Avengers. I bet it’s quieter in Cottage Country right now. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 37 I weigh in and measure today. I’m not sure what results I’m going to publish as I doubt it will be notable. What I’m trying to do is connect how I feel about my workouts and body and connect them – without judgement – to the numbers. Considering I’m trying to bulk up in muscle, it will…
New Avengers fighting some fake Avengers. Rachel Notely mentioned Salt Spring Island on the weekend. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 36 Well. I can say that if you want to clear gunk out of your body due to a cold, try riding over the Burrard Street Bridge in 8° weather. The cold is still gripping me but I’m not in the mood. I have a weigh-in tomorrow and I need to get a grip on…
The Defenders live action show have only Daredevil as a common character. My daughter is hiding on an obscure BC Gulf Island (Gambier) this weekend. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 35 I set out yesterday to do a 3-rep version of the heavy lifting routine and managed to up benchpress to 30 pounds per side and did 11 on the mid row. Of course I started to feel like hell with this cold. I took…
The Defenders more retro. It’s a gorgeous Fall day in Vancouver. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 33 Phoo yuck. Damn cold. Piss off. Yesterday, I did this serious self-paced workout and then by 3 PM I was starting to feel rough. I rode home to help a child who was also feeling rough. So, today I have to take it easier. I think I’m heading home early. Not. Any. Fun.
The Defenders with Luke Cage. Let’s try St. John’s NL. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 32 Yesterday was strange because I noticed my body was demanding more calories. It wasn’t cravings, because I managed to skip the 2:30 PM snack attack (failed later mind you). At lunch when I was serving chicken my quiet voice in my head said “I need 3 pieces of chicken.” There was really no room for debate. Yoga was tough…
More Defenders. I was thinking about Ucluelet today. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 31 Well, things went really well until the fatigue, cold-in-the-nose and situational stress kicked in. Plus there was pumpkin pie in the fridge. I thought a 100 grams of chocolate almonds would not be too bad, but at 5.5 calories per gram, it’s just something I’ll have to ditch. It’s quite frustrating. The personal trainer session was brutal because I can handle…
The original Defenders. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 30 Good giref. Day 30. That means I’m about one-third into this phase. Regardless, we don’t count calories on Thanksgiving. I’m sure it’s against the law somewhere. However, a week today is a planned weigh-in so I would like to be on the plan as much as possible so that I don’t have a skewed number due to my weird food intolerances. For example, dairy makes me…
This week is The Defenders who started with The Hulk, Namor and Dr. Strange. Regina was a bit sunny today. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 29 Yes, there’s no calorie counts for yesterday and today because I’m too lazy. I’m also trying not to get my daughter’s cold so boo hiss. However, I notice that even with taking a documentation break, I am not eating like it’s going out of style. That’s a departure. Tonight…
Here’s what the Teen Titans will look like on TV. The first place I could find that had sun was Lake Country, BC. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 28 It’s a morning with rain, a sick child and the promise of Thanksgiving treats tomorrow. I need more coffee. There was a lady online being trolled by a doctor about her weight. He Twitter handle is “Fat Girl Flow”. Her tweet read, “The fact that people…
21st Century Teen Titans. I wonder what the Okanagan is looking like this time of year. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 27 I almost did not tally up calories from yesterday. I had a day off and I took my wife out to lunch after a yoga class. I mean, seriously, how much more Vancouver do you want to get? There was a distinct sense of “oh fuck, who cares?” But, today, I felt that…
