Finding the cure for Love Handles:

It's true. I finally discovered "the method" of losing those "love handles" in just a few quick weeks, and totally natural for the most part. This discovery came to me at last night's cocktail party and four Jim Bean/diet cokes. The honest to God's truth.

At the party, several friends kept coming up to me and asking what diet I am using to lose weight, and half remarked on my new and improve " love handle-less" appearance. I was overwhelmed to say the least, and then had to come up with what my secret had been over the past six weeks. I knew they wouldn't believe one of those wood-chip infused diet bars that inflate a bolus of sludge in your stomach after ingesting with a tall glass of water. I also knew that I had not been sleep-walking to my computer to order those new "corsets" for men being recently advertised. I pondered away at coming up with something of substance.......

Right then, it hit me. Reality took me by surprise. My secret weapon was my two energetic, misbehavin' Dachshunds. They are the two most footloose critters on the planet. I should have read more on the breed before becoming their "daddy" and soon found out about their energy through "Dachshund for Dummies"...Duh!!!

These two guys are the "antimatter" of animal world. Up, down, twirl, jump, run, and still ready for more action. So how did I lose the "love Handles" ?

Dachshunds have short legs and therefore they need your assistance to get them up and down from heights. That means I have become the human crane operator, constantly bending, lifting, and pulling them around. Dachshunds need to be drained of their energy combustion through daily walks. I have been walking them two miles per day in the park six days a week. I do believe in one day of rest (Sunday), otherwise I would have no soles left on my feet.

Finally, Dachshunds are forever "greet and meet" social butterflies and will pull and drag nonstop until they can get close enough to smell the butt of another four legged creature. So, facts to be told, if you want to see those "love handles" peel off your hips in no time flat, just head on out and purchase a pair of cute Dachshunds. It would be considered a health and money saving investment. You won't need that gym card sitting in your wallet.

Be well. Be Safe. Laugh.

As long as those dachshunds don't develop love handles! I've seen more than a few! Keep both you and them active!

Thanks for reading. They do keep me active in the 2.5 mile walk daily. Had to do it, cause my mother keeps feeding them pizza crusts!!!

Yes, I am just beginning to understand their weight issues. Even my Vet is confused over what would be the best diet for my bois (Frodo and Gullum). I am now giving them 1/3 cup of food per day along with the daily walks and they seem to be slimming down nicely. Well, so have I with the walking.... 27 pounds. Course dieting on my side helps.... :)
