Exercise Reduces Appetite!

What Condition Your Condition Is In
You may not be old enough to remember the line for the rock song, “Just checked in to see what condition my condition was in.” I’d give credit to the artists, but I can’t remember who they are. Anyway, if you sometimes resemble the guy on the left, that’s bad. Stress is bad –...
