Celia,

I have also heard that muscles have " memory. " In other words, if you

workout and then take a break the muscles remember where you left off and you

can get back to that point quicker the next time around. Does that make

sense? Have you ever heard that?

I am just the opposite as you. I have to talk myself into doing the

weight training. I don't mind going in the morning so much, but I hate going

in the evening when it is really crowded. As for cardio that is my favorite,

aerobics, spin, step, whatever...a good instructor makes a world of

difference too. Best of luck to you Celia!

Hey, I have a non-weight training question for you. This will need to be

answered by Chef Celia! ) I have been eating celery lately. Some of it is

good, but most of it is very, very bitter. The celery I eat at restraunts is

always mild tasting. Is there a way to get rid of the bitterness? Do I need

to soak the celery? Please give me some suggestions...I hate biting into the

bitter pieces!!! Thanks so much!

I am deeply hoping my muscles remember all i've done for them.....:-)

As far as the celery thing goes, i am stumped. I usually only eat the heart

parts: the real middle, but i've never read anything about soaking and

bitterness....sorry.........
