Spider-man Noir is really cool. Victoria BC at -4°. Panic in the streets. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 30 I have discovered that this long persistent cold has put a barrier around my high intensity workout. I haven’t fully completed one since either early in this phase or late in Phase 8. At the gym yesterday, I wanted to see if I could push past it. It was going better but the SI (sacroiliac) joint…
A crossover that won’t happen in movies. Vancouver sees winter. -3° Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 29 We start a Monday with a communications challenge. I’m exposing myself with this blog and the journey always includes notes from people that observe that the diet process is stressful and I should find an easier way to do it. In my experience “easy” ways to diet are accompanied by the sales of useless products by snake oil…
Retro Spider-man always helps my mood. Light snow in West Vancouver. Unacceptable for February. Sorry rest of Canada. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 28 No blog post yesterday. I was too messed up by situational stress and feeling crappy. Eating is off. I am grabbing carbs for basic fuel – so it feels. Is that real? I went to the gym but could not get near a deadlift station. Most annoying. I did a second…
I stumbled across this image on the web. I’m not sure if it’s real. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 26 Anger and diet. Not a good mix. Frustration and diet. Not a good mix. What is a good mix? Peanuts and chocolate. I wonder about institutions. The Vancouver School Board could not be annoying me and my fellow parents any more than if they hired a Mariachi band to play outside our windows while we…
When I’m stressed, I like Spider People. North Bay Ontario has an extreme cold warning. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 25 Yesterday has diet fail all over it again and today we merrily start again. Well, maybe not merrily. If I can’t wrestle my situational stress under control, I am dubious I will have the eating under control. I can however present good news on the fitness front. Yoga class was hell because the chest…
Spider-man and Fantastic Four would be great to see on screen. Thunder Bay is -26°. Brr. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 24 So, on a day about mental health, I’m looking for the positive in my diet/fitness process. OK, so, what about those Jays?
I have this comic. People in Winnipeg are tough. -34° Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 23 Train wreck. It was interesting going to the gym because it was the first time I didn’t feel actively ill. However, I was aggressive with the kettle bell and mountain climber combo and realized I was not as healthly as I thought. I had a chance to walk home but it was a bit cooler than I’d dressed for…
I really needed a retro Spider-man image today. Ajax … -14° and snow. Brrr. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 22 I am going to start food tracking again today. I think the sugar madness induced by stress has lessened. The cold has receded to a manageable level. Sleep disruption is huge between urine manufacture to truly screwed-up nightmares. Back to work. There’s enough of it.
I was pretty surprised Black Panther got a best movie nomination. 2° in Lunenberg today. Not bad. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 21 Another day, another dietary restart. The stress has dropped a little and I might be able to kick off the week. I have supplies. There’s nothing that unexpected difficulties can’t totally mess me up. I had a nightmare in which I was in a RV and it went over an embankment into…
I needed an angry Wolverine image. Victoria BC has a spending scandal starring a log spiltter. Mutant Diet Phase 9 Day 20 Well, this is going badly. I tried today to catch up on workouts. I can positively say that one workout can’t make up for two missed days. It was good to push the limits though. The food is just off the rails awful. I just can’t bear to document it as it inspires…
