Ok.

Stop.

Take a deep breath and put your thinking cap on.

I’m going to hit you with some wisdom, k?

Take your weight loss calorie goal, and just toss that number out the window. We’re not going to talk about that right now. We’re going to talk about that minor (or major) freak out we sometimes have when we’re having a really good week, eating really well, then we lose our damn minds and stuff our faces with delicious delicious junk food.

2000 calories is about what your body needs to maintain your weight and keep all your organs doing all those lovely keeping you alive things that they do. Your body burns all those calories at rest. That means that while you’re sitting on your ass, walking to the fridge and back, scrolling through tumblr, etc etc.. your body is making you breathe and make new cells and shit and burns those 2000 calories.

To gain a single pound, you’d have to eat another 3500 calories on top of those 2000. Thats 5500 calories. 5500 calories is a fucking lot of calories, okay? Lets take a look at what 5500 calories looks like.

• One slice of a large pepperoni pizza from pizza hut is 330 calories. You’d have to eat a little over 2 entire large pepperoni pizzas to hit 5500 calories.
• One crunchy taco from taco bell is 170 calories. To eat 5500 calories, you’d have to eat 32 tacos.
• One double cheeseburger from mcdonalds is 440 calories. 12 of those is 5500 calories.
• 21 cheetos are 160 calories. 714 cheetos are 5500 calories.

Was whatever junk you ate probably a bad choice health-wise? Probably.

Did you ruin all your progress? No.

Did you even eat enough to gain an entire whole pound? Nooope.

Are you going to survive, drink some water, go for a walk or run in the morning, and forgive yourself? Yep. You are.

Know why?

Cause shit happens.

But we move on, and we stay determined, and we get fucking results because thats how bad we want it. You started this journey, and you’re going to finish it. One bump in the road is just that. A little bump in your road.

So, k. Stop freaking out. Forgive yourself. You had a bad night but you’re going to make better choices next time. Now go drink that glass of water, take an advil, do some exercise, and remember that you’re a badass fitblr too full of determination to have any room for fucks to give.

I fucking love this. So right.

Truth!

Since I got requests for personal pics from more than one stalker anon I figured why not?

Part 2/2

Yes that chair is a lamb.

Most current photos, after weight training. I feel and look more defined, but i am considerably larger, without the muscle I’d be about 250ish. My clothes fit in the waist like they would in my 230s, but my thighs are larger, as are my shoulders and arms, making shirts tighter. My self esteem cant tell if we’re fat or not. I hadn’t realized how black and white my view of health was; either skinny or fat.

Short haired Macro, minus the last two pictures of my longgg hair

Part 1 of 2

At my skinniest in these pictures, before weight training, I was in the 230’s, would love to get back there.

Work Selfies

I think I look like crap here, let’s see what the internet has to say.
These pictures remind me that when it comes to 8am shifts I am a cracked out coffee addict.
But but detoxing for gym stuff means no caffeine unless its from green tea D’:

How do I cope?
Oh god I look like Trials!Sam LOL
