Oprahcizing!

Well, Amy, thanks for the Gwyneth/Oprah tutorial -- all very interesting. I think I'd throw up if I exercised in an 80-degree room, and the two-hour/day pace is a bit beyond me -- but the leg lifts and the reps-rather-than-weight ideas are both very good. Ah: we can learn so much from tv! :)

All systems go here in Chicagoland. I walked four days this week, with a good gym workout yesterday. A couple of friends joined my gym, so that may boost my motivation -- though, in truth, I prefer being a solitary exerciser most of the time -- somehow I don't like to converse while working out (ironic, since I made Amy do precisely that thing this week). What preferences do you ladies have in that vein?

And, finally, a pseudo-springtime caution. After a winter of mincing around like an old lady, being paranoiacally cautious about not slipping on the ice, this past warm and rainy Wednesday found me completely wiping out in the lobby at school, because my feet were wet and the tiles were slick. I lived to tell the tale, but it hasn't been good for the old basketball injury -- so my parting thought for the day is this: danger is all around! Caution is your friend! Just a message of good cheer for your Sunday :) -- have a good week, everyone!
