This is a great visual of fat and muscle!
Notice how although both are the same weight, the muscle is much smaller? That’s because muscle is denser than fat. Muscle is also metabolically active tissue.
Metabolic rate is determined by the amount of fat-free mass in your body. Fat-free Mass (FFM) is made up of internal organs, muscle, and bone. So basically, the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate will be. That’s one of the reasons why weight training is very important to overall fat-reduction. A higher metabolic rate = more calories burned, which makes it easier to lose body fat! (That’s a simplified explanation, but you get the idea!). =)
My Peanut Butter Lover Protein Shake
- 1 scoop peanut butter protein powder (vanilla will also work)
- 1 TB natural peanut butter (I use PB2 for this recipe)
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 banana (preferably frozen)
- 3-5 ice cubes
Blend and enjoy! =)

SO I’m officially done with my Jamie Eason 12 Week LiveFit Trainer on Tuesday. I really cannot believe how quickly this has gone by..and how much my body has changed in 12 short weeks! To some, that may seem like a lifetime of working out daily & eating completely clean..but it’s a small price to pay for health. I achieved the body I want (almost) and I feel 18290743216389x healthier than before. I haven’t had fast food, fried food, sweets, regular soda, etc etc in those 12 weeks..and the only thing I miss is sweets! I definitely deserve a sheet cake all to myself right now…a hello kitty one of course :-D
He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking of you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had, because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you. ♥
Everything that a girl can want in a man…I have :) My boy is perfect…and even though sometimes I feel like there are things about him which are not so perfect…its these little moments that make me realize how lucky of a girl I am.
Men are so frustrating.
1. You wonder why your girl is insecure…when you’re constantly drooling over girls with amazing bodies, huge boobs, perfect hair, and just perfect everything. How about you show some appreciation to US?!
2. We women always talk about “us” when we plan things. Its not singular. You men are always thinking in the singular tense & then wonder why we get pissed?
3. To add on to that, we don’t think of only ourselves. If we go to the store to get say, a redbull..we get TWO. One for ourselves, one for you. That’s just called not being selfish..work on it.
4. WE LOVE TO SHOW YOU OFF. We think you are the absolute cutest thing in the entire world..which is why we picked YOU. Girls like to be shown off too, ya know!
Okay, I’m done for now.
please oh pleeaase let these release!!!!
These are crazy dope…
