Mutant Diet Phase 4 Day 1
Ah, the first day of a Mutant Diet Phase, in which the body is unaware of what’s happening. This may partly be due to the fact I’m still full from dinner at a friend’s last night. See cake below.

I guess this should have been Day 0 because yesterday was -1. Hmmm.

Nevertheless, I’m upbeat as I rode in despite the hot weather and smoky air in Vancouver.

I did 15 pushups before leaving on the bicycle today.

The strategy is the same as before with the zero sugar and zero carbs for 6 days and then a cheat day. Well, this time it’s a Cheat Afternoon, specifically Sunday. My typical Sunday evening involves a yoga class and then Sushi. I will add a therapeutic glass of wine and that’s about it.

My fitness component is muscle, specifically core. When the hernia “repair” happens on Oct 6 I want the parts that didn’t get bunged up in the procedure to come to the rescue.

I need to add a meditation component – has anyone had any luck with Tibetan bells timer apps? – so that I can work on my bad case of Racing Brain.

Gotta dash. First day back in the office since vacation.


Jerry’s amazing chocolate cake. I won’t be seeing much of this for 30 days.
