More Avengers vs X-Men. Ottawa was in the news for scary reasons. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 17 Yeah, well, yesterday was OK until emotional eating and drinking happened. I thought the calorie count was low and then I realized I forgot the wine. Whoopsie. I want to bring your attention to a new situation called size-shaming. Not entirely fat-shaming as there’s a certain amount of muscle involved. I was trying to track down a…
Avengers vs X-Men. I’ve always wanted to go to Bamfield. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 16 Well, that wasn’t much of a cheat day. Our sushi place was closed and we went to Subway for speed. I ordered a huge sandwich and according to an online calculator it wasn’t that bad. Even with chips and pop. But the difference is that the ingredients are way off zero carb. One thing with all the reading I’ve…
I had this comic at one point. A map of Vancouver accommodations. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 15 Either I’m getting better at self-control or I’m not counting the calories right. Yesterday felt like I was cheating but the calories estimate seems low still. Odd. It’s a funny trick to try to stay to a diet/fitness regime. If you concentrate on it all the time, you basically go nuts. If you don’t work at it,…
This is from a cover of a 2018 mini series I found. Here’s the Vancouver Restaurants category. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 13 It’s either luck, inaccurate calorie counting or self restraint that allowed me yesterday to cheat without a blow out. I was too full to eat dessert and by the time we got to the movie theatre I wasn’t hungry for the overpriced snacks. Kudos to The Keg for having a easily found…
I’m still feeling retro. Let’s go to Nelson BC. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 12 Yesterday was weird. I went to the cardiologist and he had me at 126/78. I looked up the cuff I use at home and it’s 42 cm max circumference and I’m 45 cm. So that might explain why my home numbers are off. Naturally we talked weight. Sadly he did not respect my wish to not know at what weight…
This is one of my favourite New 52 images. Let’s try Sudbury. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 11 Honestly with a 635 calorie M&Ms diversion I’m surprised the calorie count is as low as it is. I can’t help but think I missed something. I see a cardiologist later today. If he talks about my weight after I tell him what I’ve been doing for the last 2.5 years, I’m going to melt his brains…
I’m feeling Batman retro. It’s time to go to Saskatoon. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 10 Important safety tip. Don’t book a massage therapy, personal trainer and chiropractic session in on day. Oh, and don’t ride your bike that same day. Surprisingly I can still walk, but I am about as tender as a piece of pounded steak. The diet part seems to be going OK. The psycho cravings are fewer and I seem to…
Old comic with early reference to Batwoman. Welland anyone? Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 9 The lesson learned from yesterday is that if you push out your breakfast time too far, you do so at your peril. I had a 9 AM doctor’s appt and I did not feel like eating before. I rode to the appointment and still didn’t feel like eating. By the time I got to work I was ravenous and ate…
Super retro Batman and Superman. They should go bowling in Parksville. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 8 Sushi has a lot more calories than I thought. I begin week 2 of this phase in a doctor’s office to review the progress of managing my blood pressure. I’ve been taking numbers for the last couple of weeks and I notice it got slightly higher after I started Phase 8. I’m wondering if there’s a change management…
She-Hulk images keep me in touch with my feminine side. There’s good pasta in Coombs. Mutant Diet Phase 8 Day 7 Yesterday was terrible. Terrible attitude and I felt off. I was prone to anger and frustration. Eating was not to plan, but I somehow kept the calorie count sane. I tried a different branch of the gym of which I’m a member and I can’t figure out why the place put me off so…
