Fri 18 Jun

Happy Birthday, Michael! Hard to believe my baby is 19.

Had a hard time getting out of bed to exercise this morning; treated myself by cutting off Pilates after the side series. I've worked pretty hard this week. I've been extremely careful on what I've been eating and making sure to exercise regularly for the last week and a half, and finally have my weight this week back to 126.4, the lowest since I came back from the cruise. This weekend will likely be a bit overindulgent with Michael's birthday dinner at Christian's tomorrow and then our mini-vacation to the North Shore, though I hope to hike quite a bit to wear off some. I'm reasonably sure I won't keep to 1550 calories or less most of those days. I've looked at menus for several of the restaurants up there and the offerings are wonderful.

I will review the options for Jul 30 with Dad when he gets home from work. I'm pretty sure we'll bring the truck, and get the hotel in Chicago for Friday night to do IKEA and Mitsuwa. That's Grandma's birthday, but we can arrange to take her out on Saturday night or Sunday to celebrate. I'm sure she'll understand.

I was really tired tonight, but gave hiking my best shot. Got about 3/4 of the way up the hill before just had to sit down and rest and then turn back. Dinner at the Dane was a nice reward.

Okay, moving truck booked and it looks like we'll be pulling into Madison sometime during the afternoon of July 30. If you and/or dad could bring the truck down, we can load stuff up, but I'd also like to hit up Ikea and Mitsuwa in Chicago - would you be up for either bringing two vehicles and sending one back to Point (Mike?) or just taking the stuffed truck to Chicago and getting a hotel for Friday night and hitting Ikea and Mitsuwa Saturday?
