It's been a while!

 I seem to have got out the habit of Me on Monday -it seems like once you break a routine it's hard to get back into it.

I'm blaming it on the exercise class I signed up for.  I now go to a Fitness Pilates class on a Monday morning and I need to get in a 'write in advance and schedule a post'.  So after everyone raving about how good Pilates is for your posture and core strength I convinced my slightly reluctant friend to join me in a trial class.  After we had both realised that we were less fit than we thought we were, we signed up for a term.  I spend the first third of the class enjoying the stretches, a third thinking that I probably won't be signing up for another term and the last portion enjoying the cool down stretches.  So basically it seems I like stretching ;-) It's harder work than I thought it was and I have less core strength than I mislead myself to believe.  Onwards and upwards!

I'm returning to the car salesroom on Thursday to make a final decision on my new car, I think the electric version is just too much out of my price range even without the cost of installing a charger - plus I still have my reservations about it so as I'm not 100% convinced I will stick with the petrol version.

We haven't really been anywhere or done anything as the weather has been 'stay at home and keep warm and dry'.  We haven't had the horrendous storms that the North and West have had but it really hasn't been conducive to going out unless you have to.

Talking of going out into the rain and wind - it's time to go to Pilates!

Have a good week.

Well done you Deb sticking with the Pilates. I also speak from experience coming to the realization I am not flexible at all when do my stretching class & also coming from that experience I have parts that I didn't know could hurt, let alone even know those parts were there! Our weather has been bitterly cold & snowy, so I'm another one staying indoors a lot. I'm reading (liking) The Memory Library so thanks for that recommendation. :)

I love Pilates, it's my favourite. Good luck with the car. We are replacing ours in a few months' time and have had a couple of test drives. I am not very keen on the process but the hubster loves it.

What model car are you looking at? So glad to catch up with you. Glad you've been staying in, cozy and warm. My daughter Lauren was very upset when I didn't buy at least a hybrid car in 2022. But they just weren't available. She kept telling me I could order one site unseen and have it delivered. But I didn't like the idea of doing that. And both hybrids and all electric cars are so expensive. So I wound up buying a gas version. Nissan Rogue. Hope you get the car you like.
