Three weeks ago I started a temp job at a university. Long days, pretty stressful. Some days I brought lunch, but I got sick of sandwiches every day. The turkey was salty. The pita chips were salty.

Yesterday, I tried a salad at BurgerKing. Oh my god, the grilled chicken was so salty it literally burned the inside of my mouth. My gums are still raw. It was gross. I had forgotten why I quit eating there.

My clothes are fitting tighter. I've lost most of my fitness, what little I had.

I got back on the scale anyway: 219.2

I think that's a good bit lower than where I was a month ago and it shocked me. I actually got off and got back on to check it. I have to think I've just lost that much muscle. I'm a lot flabbier today than I was a couple of months ago.

But it's a starting over point.

Are you all recovered from the surgery? Losing fitness sucks, but sometimes can't be avoided.

Can you bring dinner leftovers for lunch? Or cook up a chicken breast at home and make a few salads with it?
