Spring Slim Down Challenge

My experience with weight training in the past is that I won't subtract pounds but my clothes sure fit better,  My weights are random things like planters (emptying and moving them to storage), shovels (lifting full of dirt), hoes & rakes (moving full of leaves).  Well, you get the idea that I'm being very lazy by doing some necessary chores and trying to make- believe that it is effective weight training.  That's my kind of multi-tasking. (I notice my body hurts as much as it did when I regularly worked out at a gym; maybe it is weight training after all.)
