• Today I feel dark. And instead of trying to thought work my way through it- I'm allowing myself to sit in it as long as I want to. Sure, positivity is sparkles sunshine and all that.

  • We LOATHE "coaches" that tell people they need to earn their meals or even worse, work off their meals. It's a bunch of BS. And they can come fight us. We like us a brawl. You know that miracle body you live each day in? It REQUIRES energy to function. So no, it doesn't need you to do a 5 mile run before you eat or 5 hours of burpees after. Your BMR (basal metabolic rate) alone is the number of calories to keep you alive at REST. Which some of you are eating less than. So yes, laying in bed watching Netflix actually requires food. It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to figure out your own average BMR just to prove how many calories BARE MINIMUM you should be having. Cause you get em, cause you're you. What's the lamest thing a coach has told you?
