NYC———->LA
I put a little video together of my journey to LA this past week. Hung out with some friends of mine including, Steven Taylor, Alysha Nett, Bridget Blonde. I had a great time.
All shot on a Canon 1DmarkIV and 50mm 1.4
Big thank you to The Blonde Locks and Make Believe clothing companies. I suggest all of you go grab some gear!

All about the legs today … you know what they do to me…
are a waste of time. I just need a girl who doesn’t want me to jump through hoops for her. Let’s start with casual sex. You wont see anyone else and I wont see anyone else, but we don’t have to date. We’ll have time for that later. I just have time for sex, I don’t want to hurt you and I don’t need to sleep with a bunch of people. Let’s make this simple!! And all you girls trying to fall in love who get too drunk and sleep with me on the first night but then try and retract into a virgin-like state. FUCK OFF, go get fucked over by an asshole who is going to lie to you to get in your pants, because I wont do it, you’re not worth it.
Alright. To be frank… It just drives me crazy to hear people complain about how they haven’t lost a single pound in X amount of days while doing a large amount of exercise. Stop panicking and just think this through a moment.
Just take a look at the above pictures. Then, consider the fact that your body stores and excretes water at varying rates on a daily basis. Now, tell me how a scale is going to tell you how much fat you have or how healthy you are. That’s right, you can’t. Weighing a piece of meat doesn’t tell you how lean you are, so why do that with your body?
Also, take this into consideration. One pound of fat contains 3,500 calories, so in order to burn off that pound of fat, you need a caloric deficit of 3,500 calories. Ever weigh yourself in the morning and at night? If you have, you’ve noticed that the number usually changes. And with what I just told you, you should now realize that those fluctuating pounds are not your body gaining or losing fat. It’s the amount of water in your body fluctuating. You take in and excrete varying amounts of water each day, so that’s what you’re seeing on the scale. Burning off several pounds in a one day period just isn’t possible. But if you want to (safely) lose weight, put yourself at a 500 calorie deficit each day and you’ll lose 1 lb of fat in a week. After all, it’s fat we wanna lose, right?
Look at the last picture in this set. As the woman’s body fat percentage goes down, she appears thinner. If that fat is being replaced by muscle, she’s not going to see it on the scale, only on her body. And the same goes for you.
So please. Before you complain about how you’re plateauing, or about how you can’t lose that last 3 pounds, try measuring yourself and taking progress pictures. Then, if you still don’t see a difference, feel free to message me, or any other educated fitblr out here. We’ll be willing to help you from there.

This gave me goosebumps…twice. This is my city, this is the real Chicago, this is what goes down. Chance is an up and coming rapper, this is his CD release party at a staple in my city LDRS, I fuck with them, and Vic (the owner) puts on for his city so hard. If more ppl were like Vic and stayed in Chicago rather then move to LA or NY, our city would blow up.
