Ghee, Revisited

99 Market, 1gal. Ghee

After I wrote about ghee yesterday, I went back to re-read what I wrote and then it struck me: That gallon of ghee is eight pounds of fat.

So what?

So, for the last month and a half, I've been eating less and moving more--watching portions, forgoing sugar, hitting the gym four or five times a week to lift weights and do cardio, walking six times a week--and I've lost eight pounds. I'd like to say that those are eight pounds of fat, but I'm sure we all know that that's probably not true. It's eight pounds of something anyway, which is about a gallon of stuff--which kind of gross if you think about.

So I won't.

So, there it is. The symbolic lesson of the day, I guess.
