I am 5’5 and 138 pounds. After stepping down from a 5 year career as a competitive gymnast I began gaining weight significantly. I was so used to working out 25 hours a week and eating healthy because of the demands my sport put on me that I didn’t even think about the amount I was eating and the quality of it until I realized how over weight I had become. I got back in to a healthy routine of running, lifting weights and eating healthy just like I had when I was a gymnast but in a way that was much better for my mind and body. Still trying my best to get my body in to the best shape possible and keep it that way but it’s amazing to see just how far I’ve come the healthy way. The photo on the left was at the very beginning of my weight loss journey and the one on the right is me today. My body is more toned and strong and although you may not be able to see much of a difference, I feel a hundred times healthier today than I ever have before. I am back on Tumblr after a few months of being away and I hope that I can continue to inspire people and help them lose weight and strengthen their bodies in healthy ways. :)

How to make your groceries last longer1. Chop up your chives and keep them in an old water bottle for extended freshness.2. Rinse your berries in vinegar (both white and apple cider will work).3. One rotten apple can spoil an entire batch of fruit, so the second you see something looking a little old be sure to toss it.4. Add a dab of butter to the cut side of cheese to prevent it from drying out. Also, be sure to wrap it in wax paper (not plastic) and then place it into a reusable baggie and store it in the warmest area of your fridge (i.e., not your chiller drawer).5. Store asparagus like fresh cut flowers.6. Wrap the top of bananas with plastic wrap and they should keep 3 to 5 days longer.7. Wrap greens such as broccoli, lettuce, and celery in foil before popping them into your refrigerator.8. Tomatoes do not belong in your fridge—rather they should be stored outside of it at room temperature.9. Leftover guacamole tends to oxidize and turn brown quickly. To prevent this, put plastic wrap over the top but make sure the plastic wrap is touching the entire exposed surface of the dip.10. Mushrooms should never be stored in plastic. Instead, place them into a brown paper bag or a cardboard box.[Read More Here]

FACTS:
Fat cells & muscle cells are two entirely different entities. You don’t CHANGE fat into muscle. Once a fat cell is gained, it is NEVER lost. Only shrunk or expanded. 
Higher lean body mass (muscle mass) results in greater insulin sensitivity, decreasing the risk of diabetes and increasing the body’s ability to process food & fat for energy instead of storage. Higher lean body mass increases RMR (resting metabolic rate) resulting in more fat loss with the same or less effort.
Up to 30% of weight loss from diet alone is from lost muscle mass. Sarcopenia is the natural loss of muscle mass over time due to ageing. Increased muscle mass protects from the effects of sarcopenia over time. 
Resistance (strength) training increases bone density, which decreases the risk of osteoporosis. 
What does it all mean? Not all exercise is created equal. Get off the treadmill, pick up something heavy and build yourself some muscle. There is more to working out than weight loss. This is NOT about skinny - this is about long term health and mobility.
