powerpuff, or powderpuff? Fighting flab one day at a time...

I do nothing to help with the sad misconception men have that "girls are wimps". I discovered a work-out room at work, and have been using the weights. Incidentally, I am determined to conquer the bench press. However, after my third set of 10 (benching only 30 lbs) today, my arms couldn't take any more, and I had to stop. Skipper has bigger arms that I do!! Let me clarify - I don't want "big" arms, I want tone. I just can't seem to get it.

But maybe I shouldn't feel bad about my lack of tone. I saw a chick the other day, who had well defined muscles in her arms, and I was pretty much in awe (and wondering what workout routine she used) when "she" turned around, and I saw a prominent adam's apple, and realized it wasn't a she at all. So much for that inspiring thought... But girls, have you ever wondered, how come men aren't ever afflicted with FAS (Flabby Arms Syndrome)? What is UP with that? Hmmmm... one of my friend's moms excuses it away by saying that women are supposed to be soft and cuddly. lol. I can live with that concept, as long as I don't get tooo much padding. :P

However, soft and cuddly or not, I'm determined to defy the "wimps" myth, once and for all. Watch out boys, here I come! (It just might take awhile.)
