Weights! Your newest friend in weight loss!

Good Morning Diary!!!
Ok I have noticed an increase in my weight since I last wrote. I blame hormones but whatever because I now have a new weapon in my fight against unsightly body bulges and it is..........(You'll never believe this one!) WEIGHT! Of course! It is so simple! One fights fire with fire so therefore fights weight with weight; Specifically weight lifting!

With this in mind I have officially commandeered my son's Bowflex,painted it pink,glued jewels on that I got from Micheals and have launched into my new regimen with abandon! Little wants to start with me but we are waiting for the little weights to arrive from wwwBalloonDog.com before we can start.

I started weight lifting this morning and I can state that it is an unmitigated success! I started with arm weights while sitting in that little seat that comes with the Bowflex.It is important to sit while doing this so that I don't pass out.(Ok Shut up. I admit that my general fitness has been better. I was on hiatus until Spring) Just about rep number 5, I noticed that there were spider webs clinging to the ceiling so I abandoned my Spangly Bowflex, got out my Webster and started taking them down. This exercise was a great workout for my lateral bats and bateral lats. I could feel it working right away. Plus I got a bonus leg workout while balancing precariously on the arm of the sofa on one foot. I held this pose for the count of ten then tried it with one leg extended. Marvelous!
After this heady workout I did some stretching.Unfortunately I was bending with my head looking between my legs and noticed that Little had put his nose prints all over the glass door behind me. Wax On! Wax Off!I am the Karate Kid!

I feel a bit sore now Diary so I am taking it easy and letting the muscles regenerate.I anticipate that I will be Buffty Buffcakes in a day or so. Little will have to work extra hard to catch up. I saw a recent photo of him and didn't realize how puffed up he got over the hibernation season. I did not tell him how fat he was and instead plan to surreptitiously force him into hard labor to reduce his massive girth.It is an ongoing process for the 2 of us but I think I have it all figured out. With that in mind, Little and I recommend weight lifting.It is good for the body and the house!
Happy Dieting!
