Group ex classes

My two left feet

A couple of years ago I fell out of going to USC's Group Exercise classes.  I loved going to lunchtime yoga but schedules changed and I wasn't able to go any more.  And once schedules worked out again I just didn't start back up.  So this Maymester's Group Ex schedule came out and I decided that I was going to get back into it.  Monday night is Zumba, Tuesday and Thursday are yoga.  Well, last night was Monday and I had talked myself into going and to have fun embarrassing myself.  'Cause this girl don't dance... not without alcohol anyway.  (Though if I have enough tequila I will be on the bar Coyote Ugly style :)  Thank goodness Facebook wasn't around in college).  So back to the story, I got to class and the instructor comes in and it's a sub.  No Zumba last night but we did have a great cardio sculpt class and afterwards I got a quick run in on the treadmill.  Tonight was yoga.  I haven't done yoga in awhile and I was out of practice.  Also, I realized I needed a pedicure with so much looking at my bare feet.  Running and nail polish are not always BFFs (especially when you are wearing the cheap stuff).  The goal is to get into a good routine and cross train, something that was lacking before.  I got into the habit of jogging and that was it.

I have also recently discovered my new favorite fruit, the loquat.  There are trees outside the office that we have international students and their family's swarm this time of year.  While I had not seen any sick or dead students around I am not going to eat something that I don't know what it is.  Finally someone knew the name, I could Google it, and all was good.  And I found out the seeds contain cyanide (as do many other things- like almonds, but I am avoiding them to be safe).  Anywho they are awesome and I need a ladder or a spotter to climb the trees.  Especcially once a Kimberly suggested loquat margaritas. 
As I came in from lunch today I grabbed a couple and a coworker saw and asked if I was that hard up for cash that I was picking my own fruit.  Funnily enough, shopping for loquats and they can be up to $12 a pound  .So I will take the free ones please.  Maybe that can be my workout tomorrow, climbing the tree.  Also it would be good training for the Mud Run in October!
