Glad to hear that you are feeling better!!

About 3 days ago I started slowly using my bike
again (10 min, then 15 min) and did one set of weight training exercises a couple
of days ago. Yesterday I used my Ab-Doer Today I was able to do 30 minutes on
the bike, 50-100 reps of each exercise on the Ab-Doer and one set of each
exercise of weight training (using a Body by Jake Total Body Trainer).

Okay, I have a question about the Ab-Doer thingey... which model do you
have and where did you buy it? I just looked on Ebay and the prices seem
to vary widely. Your pictures are inspirational

FINALLY!
About a 1/2 hour afterward I realized that I had, once again, achieved that GREAT
feeling where I automatically stand up straighter (because the back and abdominal
muscles are getting stronger), and I feel WAAY more flexible and just generally
GOOD. I REALLY missed that! GAWD I hope I don't get sick again!
