Hi all.
Recently, I ran in to a peer in the supermarket. And, much like the average Joe, he started started to scrutinise my purchase. In my cart was a batch of cupcakes.
He was appalled!
So, I’m writing this post today to admit something. Yes… I eat junk food.
I’m sure many of you wonder what my “secret” is… so, I’ll tell you.
I have 7 of them actually.
1. Common sense.
2. I don’t eat junk food daily. Hell, most of the time, I don’t eat it weekly.
3. I don’t keep junk food in the house. If I want it, I have to get up… leave home, and go looking for it.
4. When I do eat it, I a.) count calories, b.) assume that the manufacturer has understated the calories on the label (because they do that) by at least 10%, c.) make adjustments to my overall caloric intake to accommodate whatever I choose to eat.
5. Whatever I choose to eat, I do so at the end of a meal. Eating your favourite shit by itself is a recipe for binging. Thinking that you can eat one all on its own is delusional… and, as grazing on junk food throughout the day is just stupid, placing it at the end of the meal just makes sense.
6. Accountability. Don’t miss workouts. Don’t make excuses. You had a hard day? So what? You’re not living in Haiti.
7. Self love. You may fail. While I don’t expect you to make excuses for yourself, I don’t also don’t want you to beat yourself up when you fuck up. I don’t. The meal that follows your fuck-up is a great opportunity to climb back on the horse.
So… climb the fuck back on.

No… Seriously. Today I challenge you to climb the fuck back on that horse, and make it count!
p.s. Not sure how many calories you need? Well… here we go: http://bit.ly/17itXSA
