ELLEN: I am so low after the Eagles loss that I couldn't face the gym this ayem. Will Bunch's lead on our story Monday sums it up: "I'm from Philadelphia. Will someone please kill me?"

I was concerned the mood at the gym with all those sports fans would be a big downer.

Once again, I'm looking for motivation. I know I'll feel better if I do go and get those endorphins pumping. Tips?

JILL: I think after an emotional setback, we ought to allow ourselves to wallow in our disappointment and not feel compelled to muster the energy to maintain our usual pace. I think being good to ourselves means cutting ourselves a break now and then, and easing up on the intense pressure we put on ourselves all the time. So, I wouldn't worry about getting to the gym today. But I'd try to get there tomorrow or Wednesday because that satisfying feeling of well-earned weariness after a tough work-out is good for the soul and will help you rebound. Remember, Phillies spring training is beginning (has begun?) and hopes will rise again!

ELLEN: Go Phils!

Here's my horoscope for Monday (Jill, did you write this?): ARIES: There may be a slow start today. Focus on your career by midday. A difficult balancing act is required to keep everyone happy - including yourself. Everyone's a grump for a few days.

It's midday. I better let go of my paralysis and concentrate on my career.

THERESA: I tend to flee to the gym whenever I'm bummed out to work off my stress. And I ate a big pile of nachos and drank too many beers during Sunday's game, so I'm more motivated than ever to work out this week.

APRIL: I too, drank a couple of wines and ate appetizers during Sunday's game. I was ready to hit the gym today. Now I am ready to have more wine.

LAURIE: Being a longtime Philadelphian, I am resilient when it comes to this sort of disappointment. Hasn't affected my desire to work out either way. Though, on the whole, I'd rather not be in Philadelphia right now!
