you cut me deep, bitch. cut me like surgery.

so im on an elliptical right now at la fitness. im going on my second mile, lol. i really want that fergie body, for real. the elliptical being on the second floor gives me a pretty wide scope of the first floor.. you know, the floor with all the weight machines.

so, here i am left feeling guilty, because i just eye focked the back ofthis dude... HOWEVER, uhhhh... when he turned around he was a... tito. WOAH... woah... i hate myself. lol. whatever, man. dilf hunter extraordinaire.

anyway, i missed my step class, hence why im on this elliptical in the first place. to help kill time i've decided to google fitness myths. one of which ive been meaning to look up in order to prove my sister wrong. which one? muscle vs. fat. most of you are probably saying, "well, duh... the answer is ---." but why didn't you guys know the fuckin' answer when i asked you before?? huh?! lol, bastards...

anyway, pertaining back to the myth, my sis said a ton of feathers equals a ton of bricks, therefore ten pounds of fat will equal ten pounds of muscle. and yes, tis true, but when both are enclosed in a limited container (or one's body in the case of muscle vs. fat) then the weight of each container will vary, right?? ha, well, apple, i was right (suckkkitt!! lol, jp). read it and weep.

" Muscle Does Not Weigh More Than Fat (five pounds is five pounds), but it is Much Nicer to Look at

5 Lb. Fat vs. 5 Lb. Muscle

As you can see, the 5 lbs. of fat is much bulkier than the 5 lbs. of muscle, but five pounds is still five pounds. Muscle does not weigh more than fat.

Fat is bulky and lumpy so if you carry an extra five pounds of fat, you'll be lumpier than with five pounds more muscle. A five pound pile of fat will take up more space (volume) than a five pound pile of muscle; but five pounds is still five pounds, so for those of you that don't "get" English, you cannot say one thing weighing a certain weight weighs more than another thing at that same weight. It's a common joke to play on an 8-year old. The correct way to state the muscle weighs more than fat scenario is, "Muscle is heavier by volume than fat."

A woman weighing 150 pounds with 19% fat will look much smaller (and be much healthier) than a woman at 150 pounds with 35% fat. They weigh the same, yet the composition is different. Because muscle is more dense than fat the person with less fat and more muscle will look smaller.

Stop being so obsessed with body weight and start paying attention to body composition. How much body fat do you have compared to muscle? Simply seeing how much you weigh isn't very helpful."

word, so my input is this. don't go obsessing over your weight in comparison to other chicks. only weigh yourself in order to track your own progress. shiieett.
