Are you happy now? I came in late on the computer, that's all! Denise Phares P.S. I belong to Bally's Total Fitness. My husband & I went there last Wednesday, with him as a guest. I called them today, and found out it would cost $37.00 more a month just for him to join, while I pay $19.41 a month for me. What a rip-off! And he can only come in as a guest once every 90 days! So I called Gunning Park, on Puritas Avenue, and found out it is free to join there, and they have a bunch of machines and a track. I'll pay off my Bally's membership each month, until it's done, then never go back there again! DDP

Monday....I am making up for a delicious 12oz blackened medium rare New York Strip Steak that I had last night at OutBack Steak House.

Breakfast: egg white omlette w/mushrooms coffee water water water Lunch: 3 oz. ground turkey browned in roasted garlic seasoning with sauted onions and celery...topped with salsa Sanck: 1/2 banana w/ ff coolwhip Dinner: grilled skinless chicken breast over romaine lettuce w/ff ceasar dressing water water water Calm down...I think your face is on fire Laurel
