Diana did near the same,

I was working with artificial flame…

She entered the room

Dispelling gloom,

Felt happier all the same.

037d4cc47b0b79858a852147a0d86933Damn, that’s lot of burpees to burn the calories of my burger, my french fries with a beer! I’m not saying you should avoid junk food for the rest of your life but you should no doubt think twice before going for it!

What’s easier? To do thousands of burpees or to avoid this  junk meal? I mean, a fast food is suppose to satisfy your for 1 hour max let’s say… But a healthy body can satisfy you for years!

Yes, i’m bad for posting this and using the culpability Technic on you  lol. Don’t worry, i’m far from what i’m preaching too but the thing is about being closer to your ultimate goal everyday :). So, if this poster can save you from one devilish meal lol…I will be able to say that my post did change the world lol!

Take care friends!
