While looking for images of superheroes with sore muscles I found this and it was too funny to resist. Visit Boston Pizza in Calgary because I miss pizza.

Then of course I rode my bike home and took the kids to karate class. Sensei had the class moving so fast that I didn’t even have time to tell her my leg and knee were off kilter.

By the time we were done, my quad was twitching. Imagine the twitch we all sometimes have in the eyelid and then imagine your big honking quad muscle is doing the same thing.

There was a cool Spider-man series called Spiderverse where alternate universes of Spider-folk cross connected. I want to go to Nanoose Bay to read it again.

I see changes but I also feel that it’s a Long Way To Go.

I also have the homework for this week. The shoulders are protesting. I have to do some shoulder openers before trying the homework.

The Punisher seems appropriate for the last 4 weeks. This cover is his debut. I have this one. Here’s where I want to go this summer to recover. Parksville

I think I have this comic. It sounds like it’s warm enough in Ontario to go to Sandbanks this weekend.

But face it, I want results. Big results. Results where random people would say, “oh my goodness those are some big results.” I don’t want results where people say, “Jeez that was a lot of work for only that.”

So what is that? My pulse and BP don’t make sense. In the three readings last night I was twice in the 140s for the top number until I settled down to the 134 number. But my pulse was consistently in my record low area of 57/58. WTF?

I need a new meditation mantra: That is at the end. That is at the end. That is at the end.

Speaking of pressure, an issue arises where if I restrict the diet more or try to work out more I might precipitate what the diet industry calls the F U Response.

As I look toward the last third of this voyage I wonder what can I do to max out the results?

Could not resist a retro cover. Go retro in Crowsnest Pass.

Prior to this, I wrote this:

Comedy Rules

1. Everything is funny.

2. Things that aren’t considered funny (e.g. Donald Trump) are funnier when discussed in an Elmo or King Julien voice.

I’m declaring today the end of the second month. Some fresh stats on km ridden and steps walked will be published.

In honour of the Flash season finale, this image is from the Flashpoint comics series. I do not know how they think they’re going to do that story line on TV. Rest your mind at the Robert Bateman Gallery.

Good grief.

So I am keeping this short because I have several long to-do lists that are helping me become unglued.

Today’s comic book cover is one I own. I was thinking about Spider-man team ups and I remember liking those comics because you never knew who he’d have to work with.

Please visit Charlottetown for sponsorship reasons.

The TV show Legends introduced a character from the Justice Society. I’m now curious. I say visit Fort Langley if you’re curious.

Plus I think my counting is all wrong. This is really week 10; I thought it was week 9. There’s only 1.5 weeks until June.

The food part of things went a little sideways last week. Cake will do that. So I needs must focus without anger. When people like me (who talk loudly in restaurants and make Monty Python references) become angry at themselves, the inner rebellious person says,

This is the first Defenders comic. I own a copy. In November we get to see Dr. Strange. Please visit Mahone Bay. Cathy and Shawn will know why.

Nothing like the Sunday night yoga class to make you feel like the process is hopeless. The teacher said she thought she had run an easy-going class. Both Catherine and I disagreed. If people in the overall health industry want to understand why people choose to remain out of shape, this is why:

With any change comes the need for sustained effort to make the change habitual and permanent. This will for sure be uncomfortable and will likely cause pain. Worse, the end point may not be knowable. And, mentally, you won’t be the same afterwards.

When people face such a ginormus effort, the couch, Netflix, chips and beer start to look compelling. Heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes are abstractions. Until they hit.
