[MELISSAJ]

Work it out Franky!! I know that Italian mothers love to love with food!! I was a competitiive figure skater my whole life and then went off to college and skated exhibition and cheered.

Anyway, whenever I don't exercise, I come down with something - the blues, a cold, etc. Unfortunately, since I've returned from my NY trip with this bug, the only exercising I've been doing is moving furniture, dragging bags of possessions to the garage or garbage, and cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. My neighbor told me my arms looked liked Madonnas(which personally, I believe to be a bit malnourished), but I am a firm believer in exercise.

I was very concerned about my condition - looks and contagious or not, but I was told by my doctor to sweat daily!! He specifically told me to forget about the gym (I spent 4 - 5 days there prior to this) and run and ride outside.

It's time to take everyone's advice and not worry about the condition of my condo right now.

Thanks for the kick in the butt.
