Jazzercise or Bust?!

Okay, so as many do after the first of each year...I came to a revelation. I'm almost 33 and I'm out of shape! I'm too young to be out of shape & not fitting into clothes...especially having never had children, etc etc! Don't worry...I promise to give you humor...just hold on another minute!

So...I signed up for Jazzercise (yes, totally corny name, but essentially aerobics) and went to my first class today over lunch. I imagined just sweating a bit, doing a quick shower & going back to work, I plan to do this 3 x's a week. Well the workout was incredible, however everything else was a diaster!

1. I learned in the first 15 minutes that this workout was NOT going to be the kind where you just glisten and barely sweat. No...this was a dripping sweat, beet red in the face workout....it's been almost 1 hour since the workout and my face is still blood red!

2. I also learned that many women in their 40s & 50s are in much better shape then me as I'm huffing & puffing and they look like they are having the time of their life.

3. There is such a thing as community showers for girls...who knew?! Technically there were 4 separate stalls, but there was NO curtain or anything where you had to undress prior to getting in the shower! Can we say, "Hello, my name is...." seems much more appropriate meeting someone that way, then taking a shower together!

4. As the sign quickly reminded me, I did NOT bring shower shoes...totally GROSS!

5. I begin to put soap on me only to realize that I grabbed the wrong travel size container and I was applying a nice lather of LOTION! FYI- Makes a mess in the shower and hard to rinse when the spout is only spitting water.

Okay, so that was my first class...what in the world could possibly happen on the 2nd time?!

Corazon at Castle Hill

Some of you seem to like my tips on places to eat. And, if you haven't learned by now...I LOVE food...Well, I finally tried Corazon at Castle Hill. You may not realize but Castle Hill used to be a restaraunt on 5th Street, but shut down for awhile and converted to a mexican restaraunt called Corazon at Castle Hill.

Anyway...I'm here to tell you that I thought it was great....2 THUMBS UP from me.

Very nice restaraunt...but laid back & casual. Price range for the majority of dishes is $10-12.

Here's what I got... VERY YUMMY...

Al Pastor
Chile-lime seared pork with pineapple, onion, and cilantro. Garnished with rice and beans, sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, and a choice of flour or corn tortillas.

Is your mouth watering, yet?
