Slow vs. Fast Metabolism

A few of you (namely, family) knew me when I was in 2nd grade. I was a cute, chubby, but cute nonetheless, little blond girl. My teacher was doing a little lesson on health and she introduced the word metabolism into my vocabulary. Actually, she introduced it by telling the kids in the class who had a FAST metabolism and who had a SLOW metabolism just based on their size. I, of course, was one of the SLOW ones. I remember going home and telling mom that the teacher said I had a slow metabolism...she, of course, was horrified, and might have pointed out that it was not slow, I just liked Doritos too much--just kidding, Mom :)

Anyways, I just got home from my workout with my personal trainer (which by the way is part of my "Summer of Sara 2008" plan) and he did a "lab-test" on me and my metabolism...it measures the amount of calories you burn at a resting heart rate, ya da ya da...anyways, the test showed that I have a "VERY FAST" metabolism!!! Take that, Mendenhall Elementary 2nd grade teacher!!!! Haha!!
