My boss said that June would be better for my Italy trip. I got the trip transferred to June. I owe a little more money, which I will pay off (done). And hey, I should be down to my target weight by then! That will help with walking!

Wacky weather is wacky. I've been wearing hoodies over t-shirts to deal with it. This morning, it was in the 50s, so I put on a hoodie, but it's supposed to hit 80 this afternoon! I'm looking forward to usual fall weather because I want to pack most of my summer stuff for Kauai early in case I find that I need to get something for the trip.

CNN showcased a fold-up fire pit from REI that would be perfect for my patio in Urbana. I wonder, then, if I should take my Mom's patio furniture with me and then get the fire pit. I'd be ready for fall parties!

I received the iPhone. I started charging it, and it wanted to set up as soon as I plugged it in. I have all my files transferred from my Android before the phone is even fully charged. Pretty slick, Apple. I have an appointment at an Xfinity store Wednesday night to get the phone set up for their mobile service.

I found a ring that I would like, but I should wait until I lose the weight to get it. It's too expensive for a short-term ring. Maybe that'll be my reward for losing the weight. Along with a sheath dress or sweater dress :)

The assembly guy is here. He didn't have his friend with him, so he lifted the box and carried it downstairs by himself. Pretty impressive. The man has muscles. He's done and the Total Gym looks cool. I'll have to look for the CDs with the exercises. Oh, they have them online. I want to make sure to do back and leg exercises to build up strength for my trip, but I also want to do arms because my arm strength sucks.

The cats are saying two paws up for the Squeeze Ups. It took Mimi a little longer to realize that I had squeezed it on my finger.

Got the garbage and recycling out. Because it's gotten late, I'm going to gather the laundry and pretreat it for stains (I get makeup on my clothes a lot) and just do legs on the Total Gym (done--I added arms). I'll do my back and abs tomorrow.

I had my session with the life coach. As usual, she keeps me sane and organized. I asked her how to work exercise into my schedule, and we decided that I would work out on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to start after work. (She tells me not to get too ambitious, but make doable plans.) I also have a plan for doing stuff on the house.

I was wondering where I could park my mom's car while I'm in Urbana in December and early January, and I found a Web site in which people rent out extra parking spots!

I finally connected with the guy who owns the Urbana house. He wants to store some stuff in the garage.

I tried to change my Xfinity appointment because the rowing machine might get here late, but they make it impossible to change it. So I'll either show up or I won't.

I decided not to take a tour of Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Park in Kauai, but just go there myself. I need to stop spending money because I can. I have a rough itinerary for the trip, but can be flexible on the days that I don't take tours. And hmm, some people are saying that the sea is too rough for the snorkling trip after October 1. Should I cancel?

I had my Dare to Dream class. We need to come up with a list of 100 goals. One thing that occurred to me is to see if I can get a photography teacher, and sure enough, they exist. I just messaged one person, so we'll see how that goes.

I started going up and down the stairs to get exercise on an "off" day, but my knee started hurting. I can't wait to lose the weight. I started going through my mom's shawls and scarves. I'm ready to channel my inner Stevie Nicks :)
