Honestly, I feel done right now.  I feel good, I look good (other than the saggy skin), and I am bored of eating 600 calories a day.  BUT I'm still not quite to a healthy BMI and even though I am not sure I can do it, I'm going to keep trying.  Can't hurt to try, and it's only another 6.5 lbs until I get there.  I'm at 25.9 right now.

I'm not sure when I'll do another body comp scan.  Either when the Y offers them or when I have time to get a real "dunk" test (though I'd like to do those close together to compare). 

Being back at work is a HUGE challenge in terms of exercise.  For food, it makes things pretty easy.  I have a shake for breakfast, pack my lunch, and then have dinner at home.  Getting in fluids could be a challenge depending on how busy I am during the day.  I don't like to carry drinks around the library since students can't have food/drinks there.  I drink in my office, and on my commute.

5K in a few weeks!  Hope I am ready.  I need to run tonight.  Again, missing the gym.  Hope I can get into a good routine soon, but so far I just haven't done it. 

My body media fit broke, so I'm having a new one shipped (hooray warranty).  Should be here soon.

I'm wearing a size 8 pants and a M top these days.  Size 10 is too big in the waist.
