There are worse things than having behaved foolishly in public.
There are worse things than these miniature betrayals,

and stand icily about the bed looking worse and worse and worse.

I do body conditioning, spinning and yoga. On the treadmill, I'll do intervals of running flat and then on incline. I'll do that for an hour.
