Mad at the scale!

Sometimes I get really frustrated when the numbers on my scale aren't going down. I read an article yesterday that makes me feel better...

Health Magazine says that you can lose a dress size by gaining 3-4 lbs. If those pounds are muscle, not fat, you lose inches, even if the number on the scale is a bit higher. Why? Because not only does denser muscle tissue take up less space, but the number of calories incinerated by a body with lots of lean muscle is higher than if the person's weight is made up of fat.

This actually makes a lot of sense to me. I am in a smaller size than I have been in the past, when I weighed less!

I credit this to AdvoCare's Catalyst! Catalyst is an amino acid supplement that feeds your muscle so you don't lose it when you work out. It preserves lean muscle so your muscle does its job and burns the fat. I've heard it called "Liposuction in a bottle", "Gut and butt be gone", and "Shrinkwrap for the body". It's one of my favorite products! You can read more about it here:
