The precious is lost!!!
by well actually, it's not so precious.
Winter and the lack of nice gyms in the hillbillyland where I live hit me like a Mack Truck and left me with 10 pounds more than I had on my body say.. before October 26th.
This morning, at the new totally awesome gym not far from me that my hubby and I discovered and immediately signed up to, I weighed myself, for the first time since last Wednesday.
I lost a pound and a half!!!!!
A POUND AND A HALF!!!
I know it doesn't sound like a lot but imagine a pound and a half of pennies. Or a pound and a half of ... well... fat, like a big bag containing a pound and a half of fat that was just Lipo-sucked out of someone.
Since Wednesday I have been working out vigorously like a maniac (today i can't move my arms or legs) and eating healthy. Working out makes you SO hungry so i've been eating like a pig, but like, like a really healthy pig - lots of veggies and frutas and healthy lean proteins... I even tried Turkey Burgers for the first time and they are DELICIOUS and very low in fat. I recommend them.
I know it's very silly to be all happy about it and I still have like, hmm about another 9 or so pounds to lose but, I lost a pound and a half this week, I'M ON MY WAY, and I must say I'm so excited I just can't hide it.
This is what a pound of fat looks like!!

I did a talk for last years yearbook and started it out that way. I was like, did you ever know anyone who started a diet program? What is the first thing they tell you after a week? I lost a pound! And you want to say ok, it's just a pound. But you want to be encouraging so you just congratulate them about THE pound. Why are they so happy about the pound? because they have a number. We love numbers. THat was how it started. True story....
dude im so glad you put that pound of fat in there cause i was soo wanting to know what a pound of fat looked like in the raw,,, no joke, this is all truth
A POUND OF FAT LOOKS LIKE PINEAPPLE JELLO!!!
I wish they had a size comparison.
If only I could be a fairy butterfly! Id fly all across the world and spit on the heads of bald, and blading people and watch it splatter splat!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VAT ??? Are you makeing fun of my incomprehensible sickness to want to spit on a baldmans head!? Are you saying that its funny for me to want to be a fairy butterfly, are you insisting that i cant eat oreo's anymore? DO you mean to tell me , that I of all people couldnt or wouldnt or shouldnt do it???? I loathe and despise you ("stolen" i just wanted to use it i thougt it was cool). Well let me tell you that cheerios lowers cholesterol!
what the heck? i read that and burst out in laughter....thank you for improving the quality of my day.
ha ha cool
haha i have about 20 *precious* to lose and i'm not fat!
this title for some reason makes me think
"Most Preciuos Blood" and every time i read it , in my head i say "Most Preciuos Blood"
I understand how good it feels! I just joined a kickboxing class (1st time I work out in a year) and it feels great...painful, but great. i feel myself slowly shrinking.
isn't there a saying about 'a pound of flesh'?
A pound and a half is good in one week! esp if you aren't heavy to begin with. It would be bad to lose too much all at once. As a really lowfat snack, you really should try these bbq soy chips they have at shoprite. i thought they would be like ricecakes at first, but really, they are the best chips i've ever eaten and they are good for you-lots of protein & calcium.
i LOVE those!!!!!! my mom gets them all the time!! (also, NAKED chips are AWESOME! I think some guy named stacy makes them. look for them at shoprite. the original kind. SOOO good)
Skinny Chips are fairly good as well
Everytime I see this journal title I laugh because it's like a pound of fat is precious or something and oh I don't know it's just funny
everytime i see it, it makes me think of lord of the rings with gollum.
ditto and amen...
umm i think that was the point there gladiator
