I can't exchange these genes...darn it.

I recently decided it would be a good idea to get a body composition test done. I work out regularly and I thought it was time to see where I was at and what I needed to do to improve. So I got weighed, hooked up, and a couple of minutes later my printout was ready. It was a little depressing, only because I work out pretty hard and I still wasn't quite in the "good" zone for body fat percentage. Wtf? I looked at the "excellent" percentages and figured that those were just a pipe dream and I don't smoke. The test did confirm my long held suspicion that my metabolism sucks. It turns out my basal metabolic rate is something like 1400 calories, which is less than what they tell people to eat who are trying to diet. So that means I basically have to diet to not gain weight, and in order to lose weight I have to work out like a maniac and only eat green beans. Fabulous. So all you naturally skinny bitches out there - take a moment to thank whatever deity decided to bless you with great genes and then go eat a brownie...just because you can. Lucky motherf-ers.
