    bal got a reaction from mlbdl for a blog entry, POD 14 - ready to return to work   
    drum roll please........... 2 weeks, 28 lbs lost (including 5 lbs week before surgery). SW 277, CW 259, GW 155. I feel great. No dietary issues. Not hungry. Full after 2 oz of salmon for dinner. This couldn't have been easier! I know that the weight loss is going to slow down too as I increase calories (currently 500-600 cal day), but I"m enjoying the quick weight loss while it happens!
     
    Today I spent a couple of hours going through my store of work pants - I have pants varying in size from 22 to 12. I am able to fit into a couple of pairs of the 20s - which is amazing! I figure a couple of more weeks and all of the 20s will fit.
     
    In the past when I have dieted I have saved the pants that no longer fit - just in case I needed them again. But I am committed this time to take the clothes that don't fit to the salvation army right away - because I am never going to fit into them again!
     
    I also joined the YMCA yesterday. I know that in the past I've convinced myself that the amount of exercise I get at work is sufficient (I'm on my feet a lot). But I've promised myself to be honest about everything - how much I eat, the amount of sweets I eat, and the amount of exercise I get. An I have promised myself to exercise at least 3 x a week at the Y.
     
    Journey is off to a good start. I know there will be bumps along the way, like any journey. But the journey has begun!
