Woke Up This Morning...

And lost myself a gun.

Or rather, 1.4 pounds, as represented by this Smith & Wesson Model 640. (Empty weight: 23 ounces.) Back on track!

These little "same weight as a..." references are great.

When I think about the fact that I could healthily lose a full quarter of my current weight (50ish pounds), I'm reminded of the fact that a backpack well packed for a few days' hiking weighs in around 50 or 60 pounds. I'm carrying a full backpack 24/7 right now.

Someone I know -- I can't remember who it is, off the top of my head -- visualizes the weight she loses as sticks (and pounds) of butter.

And of course Jayananda (at Living It Up... in my blogroll) uses scrabble-related weights and measures. Which gives her more variety than I'd expect.
