Hit 500 pounds of trim in a single week and it messed with my head

I've always been a 'just grind it up for burger' guy when it came to scrap and trim. Never paid much attention to how much I was throwing in the grinder. Then last Thursday I weighed my bin before starting and it was 92 pounds for the day alone. By Saturday I'd hit 500 even for the week. That number made me realize I've been giving away perfectly good profit for years. Has anyone else actually tracked their trim weight and been shocked at the number?

That's a rough wake-up call for sure.

People always jump to "wake-up call" like it's some big life lesson... but sometimes it's just a Tuesday. Depends on what actually happened - if it's just a missed deadline or a bad test score, that's not exactly world-ending. Everyone loves to dramatize things these days.
