Lovely Visual

While I was home in Columbus for my Dad's surgery/recovery, I took a class at Riverside Hospital about aftercare for open heart surgery patients.  The instructor had the following on a table in the small classroom.

I was curious as to what these represented, so I asked about it.

This is a replica of 5 pounds of muscle.

This is a replica of 5 pounds of fat.

Isn't that a lovely visual?  The fact that I have an extra 10 or 11 of the above makes me disgusted with myself.  Let's see, 10 or 11 X 5lbs =.....oh, nevermind!  I don't want the number.  *Sigh*  I think I need to go get on the treadmill for about 47 days straight.
