12 wk leaning out progress

[SFreed]

Hey UnicornDrpns how's the adulting? Still busting it out?

 

[mmorso]

Where did you go?

 

[SFreed]

Great. Now we're getting the silent treatment. What did you do mmorso??

Hey UnicornDrpns how's the adulting? Still busting it out?

Did you just say Busting it out?

 

[SFreed]

Did you just say Busting it out?

Maybe I'm the one that earned the silent treatment. Guess I should have said "Still tearin it up?" Maybe?

No busting it out is better than rub'in one out.

Lmao. Adulting is too hard!! I totally failed at leaning out for those weeks . Still gymming but the diet has been too good in a bad way. So many pastries. I haven't gained any. So I count that as a small victory. Haha. I've missed you guys and your Rukus though !!

It's just so hard to lose the last 5 lbs. the lack of motivation when I am 90% happy with the current package plus it's my birthday month. I'll get there. Next month.

Enjoy the ride. If you're happy now, that's all that matters (especially if you're maintaining and not moving in the opposite direction).

Once I got to a certain level of leanness, I've managed to be content. I still want to shred even more, but I'm not going to ruin my life over it (note that I'm also not prepping for anything, so I get it for people who have shows, shoots, etc.).

I typically extend my birthday binge eating for the entire month . I have wasted with the in laws too. Adulting yeaaaa. I'm 32 in two weeks

Exactly. I don't want to be miserable and burnt out. That leads me to binge. It's about life balance.

I actually have a shoot to do on Monday. I was hoping to be leaner for it but oh well . My need tonbe 5 lbs leaner is just me being picky. I want to do a show but that's not until maybe September. Maybe. Lol.

 

[SFreed]

We're all our own worst critics, but I don't see where you really need to tone up.

Fat and sassy. Emphasis on the fat! My much needed cut is painfully slow.

Very cool on the shoot. For anything in particular? or just for yourself?

They were for a friend who's a makeup artist. They needed a model for a shoot.

So my birthday came and went. I turn d my birthday into a birth month . I'm still decent,u lean but now that I'm fluffier than I would like, I'm finally motivated again to do a legit cut. This time for real haha

I'll post meals and photos later ps I'm the worst at being consistent around here! Sorry. I missed ur faces though

Awesome on the shoot -- definitely would love to see some shots if your friend shared them with you (I assume he/she did lol).

Glad to hear you enjoyed your birthday month!

I'll be honest, I've personally been far less consistent with my nutrition the past month or two, but I'm actually really happy. Like you, I'm not as crisp as what I truly want, but I haven't stressed over anything and I'm still substantially leaner than what I ever used to be. I weighed in at my parents' house mid-day (which I never do) and was 223. In the Summer of 2013, I was literally 300 lbs. (pituitary tumor that I didn't really have any control over -- didn't go full on fat kid; still worked out all the time and just kept gaining -- but anyway, the point is, I feel like I'm a tad heavier now ... and I'm still more than 75 pounds under what I was at that time lol. So definitely keep that balance. I think it's good to have the times to really push yourself (particularly if you have a shoot, or competition, etc.), but it's nice to ease off that gas pedal -- something I hadn't done for years straight. Makes a huge difference emotionally.

Glad to see you back

Donuts!

You have no idea the amount of donuts that were massacred

I'll have to get back to u on this later. I need a legit computer for this haha. But in short awesome on keeping consistent and nkt gaining it all back ( so easy to do). Agreed on the issue of being emotionally happy, not burnt out.

This is my current state of sad diet life

 

[MidwestBeast]

Seeing the measuring cup....that's when you know it's real (it's the smart thing to do), but so sad...lol

Dunno what's sadder; that or the fact it all looks soooooo good! I've been on a mostly all egg diet for about 3 weeks so this all looks like good food to me! Lmfao

Tank beat me to it! Looks good to me!

Oh, I'm aware. I follow the Twitter feed, so I've seen all the Krispy Creme posts!

I would but they are butt shots...lol it was a boudoir shoot so ... none are really appropriate here.

and I'm still more than 75 pounds under what I was at that time lol. So definitely keep that balance.

thats awesome that you kept most of that off!i find that sometimes its good to just indulge ... for a while... haha. the hardest thing in life is always consistency. Burn out is the killer of all progress. Keeping happy and sane is key I def don't regret my month of binge.

oh and yes, measuring cup life is when **** is getting real haha

I'm fixated on the cookie treat

dude that thing is amaziiiiing. its a protein cookie! cake bites (optimum nutrition , birthday cake flavor) . Its soooo good and not complete trash calories that a normal cookie would be

Dunno what's sadder; that or the fact it all looks soooooo good! I've been on a mostly all egg diet for about 3 weeks so this all looks like good food to me! Lmfao

its sadder that my day looks "so good" to you lol. its def good but "so good " is stretching it. a mostly egg diet would make me want to spork myself to death. I dont know how you and SFreed are doing this diet. I'll just meet my abs a few weeks later....

Oh, I'm aware. I follow the Twitter feed, so I've seen all the Krispy Creme posts!

i have a problem help. can i please have selective tapeworm? the ones who only eat donuts and pastries? thanks

 

[Mowglisml]

Nice! I WANT ME some ON cookies!

 

[SFreed]

The fact is UnicornDrpns that you can handle eating a few donuts and pastries and it's not the end of the world. I eat a Krispy Kreme (most likely 4 or 5) and it's an automatic 5 pound weight gain minimum. I'll bet you only extended your cut by a few days.

 

[u_e_s_i]

Well done on your progress so far! I did something similar this summer, burnt out, said fml and put on 25lbs of fat ( . Hoping to be back below 10% bf by March (my birthday ). Keep up the good work

 

[u_e_s_i]

It's funny, I used to hear ppl say that junk food especially pastries aren't filling and I'd be like "but they are so many calories, how can they not be filling?"
Now I believe em, it might just be magic lol
