I’m sure I’m going to get unfollowed all over the place for this, but that’s okay.

I’m leaving tumblr.

To be honest, I’ve come to realize that it’s not helping me at all feel “healthy.” I got down to the weight I wanted and still wasn’t happy. Amazing how common that is…I knew that would happen too; that’s why I told myself that I would gain two pounds back as soon as I hit my goal…so I wouldn’t try to lose five more…or ten more. Whatever.

Being on here makes me feel sick. Seeing pictures of even skinner girls than I am makes me want to look like that…that’s not okay. That’s NOT healthy. Mentally, tumblr is not okay for me. I’m sorry that I have to go, but I also can’t stand the fact that half of my followers are “pro-ana” or “pro-bulemia” and turn to my blog for pictures/advice. I’ve NEVER pushed either of those. They are scary, and I don’t want to support that.

I’m sorry if I have offended any of you.

I took a week off to think about my decision before I did it.

Thank you for being lovely followers.

Ps.) I haven’t decided if I want to shut down my personal one as well. But if you want to stick with me @ Jordanthehuman.tumblr.com you can. I’ll still give you a positive attitude with your accomplishments.

Hey, did I mention that I got promoted to green belt in BJJ?

I’m so stoked that I have a gym that with a legitimate lineage. That’s my coach, blue belt Eric Stevens, with his master (and my professor) Piet Wilhelm. Look him up…I promise you he’s for real. His master is Renato Tavares…THE Renato Tavares. HIS master is Carlson Gracie. My gym has pretty good credentials. I’m not bragging on me…but I got pretty dang lucky to have Professor Piet Wilhelm there to promote me.

Ps.) It takes about a year to get a colored belt promotion in BJJ…NOTHING like Tae Kwon Do. I did that too. In less than a year and a half I was testing for red…this stuff will actually help me later in life.

Diets don’t yield the kind of results that healthy living does. Think long-term!

Why yo-yo dieting is unhealthy.

Diets be shit.

nopityfitness:

There is a commonly repeated, regurgitated yet FALSE idea being passed around mainstream fitness. That myth is:

“If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose fat”

This. Is. Wrong.

Our bodies are not calculators. Hormones, genetics, what you eat and how you…

In the Yoga Studio: Briohny Smyth (by equinox)

This is beautiful. Something to work towards in my practise (though I think I need to go more often for sure, ha).

From sitting on my ass, to kicking ass.

It’s hard to believe it hasn’t even been a full year.

Determination + perseverance = Success

Get creative and incorporate exercise into random daily activities! This is a great example of “using your time wisely”. ;)
