Thank goodness for summer hours!

Starting on Monday, we are going on summer hours! Which means I’ll work 8.5 hours on Monday-Thursday and then 6 hours on Fridays to be done at 3pm. Which will be so nice! Mom and I are going to go for a long walk (1.5 - 2 hours) together most Friday afternoons throughout the summer, so that will be great! That should help me out with my new focus on upping my fitness level.

My other plan for getting back into shape is I’m going to take a beginner Pilates class. I think this might help me with my hip flexor problem, which is really holding me back right now. I had this problem 2 years ago, and it has crept back. So, I’m willing to give Pilates a try to see if that helps. Classes start on May 28th and will be Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30 and run for 8 weeks. Then I’ll assess whether it is helping me and decide whether I want to move on to level 2. The benefit of being in level 2 is I could take classes with my mom, which would be fun.

I submitted my vacation request for the summer, so I hope it’s approved. Since we had a very expensive year last year with the wedding and honeymoon and we have been spending a lot on the house lately, we don’t really want to spend the money on a huge trip this year (other than our weekend trip to Niagara Falls planned for our first anniversary). So, we’re going to spend 2 weeks at the cottage, 1 in July and 1 in August. I am really excited about this since last year I didn’t get to spend nearly as much time at the cottage as I would have liked.
