Take a bowling ball to work. For real. Go to a garage sale and pick up a bowling ball with a bag. At work, keep it on your desk. Take it into the stall when you go to the restroom. Haul it into the conference room. Put it in the shopping cart on your way home. Lay it atop the counter while you’re fixing dinner, and set it at your feet when kissing your kids goodnight. You’ve worked hard today, soak it off with a nice bubble bath – but don’t forget the bowling ball has been everywhere with you, so have it hop into the bubble bath with you.
And, as gently as you can, roll it into place between you and your bed partner.
When you get up in the morning, drop the ball into the toilet. That is where it belongs. Now you are free. Have a nice day without the bowling ball.
Losing 15-16 pounds is like that. You’ve been hauling around a lot of dead weight and it goes everywhere you go.
Just imagine what it would be like to lose 2 or 3 bowling balls.
In the long run, does taking a bowling ball to work really make your day lighter?
