It’s a good idea to incorporate some resistance training into your workout routine. It’s a better idea if it involves some cake.
And Happy Groundhog Day! Although it’s been a mild non-winter so far, we’d still like the groundhogs to predict an early spring.
(This comic strip was previously published on April 30, 2009.)
I can resist anything but temptation. 🙂
Yeah, that’s the hardest thing of all to resist!
I can’t resist making fun of George.
One day George might take revenge and not let you have any dessert!
I can easily say no to cake but chocolate is my downfall
I can’t say no to cake, even if it isn’t chocolate!
Oh trust me, that never works 🙁
It didn’t seem to work, that’s for sure!
Oh trust me, that never works
Oh trust me, that never works.
Did your keyboard get stuck?
No, my poor attempt at Groundhog Day 🙁
Oh, you were stuck in a time loop!
I didn’t get it at first!
Sorry.
Well that was a fail 🙄
🙁
Happy Groundhog Day!!!!
Wiarton Willie predicted an early spring, but we haven’t even had winter yet!
No, no, no – he’s doing it all wrong!
Effective resistance training should start with something that’s easy to resist in order to build up the person (or wombat’s) confidence and then gradually work up from there to items more difficult to resist
Newcomers to resistance training should start off, I would suggest, with brussel sprouts !
That sounds like wise advice! I think if I start out resisting brussel sprouts, I should be able to do that with no problem at all. Then maybe I could work up to broccoli.
And turnip greens and spinach. Eventually you could work your way all the way up to cottage cheese.
That sounds like quite a workout, but I think I’ll try it!
Never say no to chocolate cake…It will give you nightmares.
Or you’ll end up eating it all. Not that I ate it all. Okay, okay, I did!
Of course you did…You’re Winky.
I guess I’ll have to wok on being less Winky-ish.
Didn’t that one guy in the science-fiction get-up say, ‘resistance is futile’? I always assumed he was referring to dessert.
🙂
In my science fiction universe, he would definitely have been talking about dessert!
resistance training has never worked for me either!
I think I’d like to resist resistance training next time.
Oh, the sweet, smooth siren call of double fudge chocolate cake.
Must….resist….must….crunch, smack, swallow.
I guess you’re much better at resistance than I am Winky…
Well, to tell you the truth, I wasn’t able to resist it for long.
Chocolate cake? Resistance is futile!
Yeah, I found that out. The tasty way.
I’d need lots more training than that!
I do too. I guess I’ll have to get another cake to practice on.
You & the cake will be assimilated. You will be at one with the cake
“At one with the cake” sounds pretty good to me!
Winky, that’s not gonna work… just sign up for the chocoholic anonymous
That might be a good idea, but I don’t know if I could really quit.
Haha! I’ll have to try that!
Maybe you’ll have better luck than I did!
I would have failed in the first minute. The resistance is strong with this one.
I lasted more than a minute, but not much!
I managed about ten seconds 🙂
It was pretty tempting cake!
I usally say Your the Devil.
Devils food chocolate? That’s one of my favorites!
Sounds good to me. Didn’t today’s news stories say, “That stuff will kill you?”

Ah, but what a way to die!
Ha,ha,ha! Resistance is futile.
Yeah, I kinda found that out.
I do that walking past the grocery store bakery, but if it’s on the kitchen table I’m sunk.
Yeah, once the cake is in the house, it’s impossible to resist!
It’s got power over us.
It sure does!
I don’t have to resit…My mother does that for me…Drats.
I guess that’s good and bad.
I’m not sure why I have a craving for German Chocolate Cake right now but I will try to RESIST!!! Cute toon! W.C.C.
I know you can resist it, WCC!
And I’ll help you by eating it all.
I could bring a spoon along if you get too full Winky? 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever been too full, but you can help me eat it anyway!
Okay I am on my way Winky 🙂
Yay!!
If only temptation wasn’t so sweet… 🙂
That’s the problem with temptation. It’s so tempting! And so sweet!
Whaty do we get on Wombat Day if a Wombat sees his shadow? Six weeks of chocolate?
And I saw my shadow, too!
Yay, six more weeks of chocolate!!
Resist the chocolate cake! It’s a gateway snack to double chocolate cake!
Cake leads to all sorts of other yummy treats. I’m doomed!
Lol. Poor Winky. You’re so cruel to yourself. I would never do something like that… I hope resistance was just a 1 minute game and you finally ate that cake.
My resistance training lasted about as long as that cake did. About 60 seconds!
That’s why when I make you all chocolate I put a little aside for myself first.
I don’t blame you if you want any for yourself!
haha, good job resisting that first slice, Winky.
The first slice is always the hardest to resist. After that, eating it was easy.
And there are also lots of different cakes to sample, like an orange and chocolate surprise, a lime and walnut wonder, a treacle and choc chip delight, a fudge and pancake combo, a lemon and raspberry rumble and lots of others too, actually I could go on and on and on with these recipes Winky but you need to start eating them and not thinking about them 🙂
I think you’re right. My tummy’s growling at the thought of all those delicious cakes out there that need to be eaten! So many wonderful treats! I’d better get started!
Good luck Winky! Don’t listen to what the Borg would say about your situation.
I think it might already be too late! I couldn’t resist the cake for very long.
You cannot resist the temptation, you are hypnotised and you will eat, eat, eat and eat that cake, and every other cake forever and ever and ever 🙂 Well I am only saying what you were thinking Winky 🙂
You read my mind, that’s for sure! Oh lovely cakes, come to me to be eaten!!
Great post Winky. Laughed so hard both my chins wiggled. Oh nommy cake come to me!
Yeah, it’s much easier to eat a cake than to resist it!
fake it till you make it I always say!!
I didn’t make it! I guess I should’ve faked it!
I think a Fake with an ‘l’ in it could be a nice idea… Well those Cadbury’s Chocolate Flakes are delicious, but for now we will just concentrate on eating cake 🙂
Cake now, and then we can have some of those Cadbury Flakes for dessert!
Hello Winky,
I am Raven of Leyla, I came here through Deb’s posting “Binky, Winky, Twink, Fraz and Zoe in a Forest Haven” I am delighted to be here.
My comment today is>>>….A life without chocolate is futile…it ain’t right!
Rx
Hi Raven! We’re glad you found your way here from Debbie’s blog, and hope you can find a little fun here.
A life without chocolate is definitely futile!
You should fit in well with us Wombies.
I just found out that I have to cut back on my dark chocolate intake so I feel your pain.
Cut back on dark chocolate?! I’d want a second opinion on that.
An old comic…yaiii I am happy to read what I have missed from your comic guys 🙂
Did it work Wink? I need to train myself not to try eating anything green…that’s include mommy’s green clothes.
It worked for a minute or so. Then I ate the whole cake. So I guess it didn’t work very well. But I’m willing to try it again!
It’s hard to learn not to eat things that look tasty. I hope you have better luck than I did in trying to resist those things.
I didn’t do better. Last night, I bit mommy’s green handbag. Why is green so attractive?
well…chocolate in your case
It’s hard to resist the things we love!
Maybe mommy shouldn’t buy anything green that isn’t food.
I agree that passing up on the cake won’t happen. Not a problem if you ask me.
Have a terrific day filled with chocolate. 🙂
I didn’t find it a problem eating the cake, either!
Every day that’s filled with chocolate is terrific!
It would be too difficult for me to look at so delicious cake, and not eat it 🙂
Yeah, it was pretty difficult to look at the cake. That’s why I had to eat it all.
