Get A Macaw Lose Unwanted Belly Fat Eat What You Want

2016/5/4 10:36:14

I just laugh whenever I see those weight control commercials on the television.

Who wants to lock themselves into spending hundreds of dollars a month to lose weight. It really isn't necessary to do that. There is a better far more fun and rewarding way to lose belly fat. It's called "Buying and caring for a Macaw".

Trust me owning a macaw is far more rewarding and fun than any old diet and exercise program. Losing weight on my program just happens.

It happens without fancy diet programs or drugs to amp up the metabolism too.

Owning and caring for a macaw is the best solution ever. Its funner (don't think that a real word) but it is. My owning and caring for a macaw weight control system is easy and rewarding. Its a cure for depression. It's inspirational and gives a person another purpose in life.

My system will without thinking cause you to lose unwanted belly fat without a conscious effort to do so.

Here is how it works for me.

I go to bed each night, the last thing I do is check to be sure my macaws (shadow) cage is latched. This is routine at around 2 a.m. each morning.

In the morning six thirtyish I wake up and remove shadow from my back or belly according to how I've been sleeping. He wakes me up when he lands. He learned in less than a day to open his cage.

Limited time in the sack does wonders for controlling weight.

Then its a shower, twice a week for the bird , coffee and fixing breakfast. Shadow has some of whatever I eat.

In an hour give or take. I'm crawling around the floor watching fox news. All the while making growling noises nicely copied by shadow. We play like he's a puppy. We roll the ball, shake the rag and play catch the finger.

I then beak him to my shoulder get up off the floor deposit him on his perch so he can make a mess. Its the getting up and down several times a day thats good exercise.

Now its clean the cage time its big cage 6x5x7, macaws need one. I spend more time than necessary because he is in there helping. A good half hour of hardlabor and sweat.

Then shadow and I do some computer stuff. He likes to grab my fingers on the key board or fly back and forth to his toys on the floor. Even with his help typing is hard work and takes a couple hours. My happy frustration and constant need to type over generally keeps my heart rate up.

Then its lifting him into the air time. This lets him stretch and flap those wings. Thats four five minutes of lifting my hand into the air so he can use his wings for balance. He finds that exciting. So we do this several times each day. We like to yell weeee. Its good for the arms and shoulders.

Now its a walk around the yard, out to the mailbox. The neighbor lady 4 houses up the street watches for us daily, so shadow and I walk up to visit her most mornings. That is up and back and is good exercise.

Now its lunch time so we eat again, same deal as breakfast.

All this hard work demands a siesta! Me on the couch, shadow on me, this has worked well for decades.

After the siesta another half hour or so crawling on the floor growling like dogs. Some more bird lifts generally.

Then its back to the computer and more finger chasing. Do you know how strenuous typing is with a 35 inch macaw on your wrist and hand?

Now here is the clincher that keeps me trim and full of energy.

About 4 or 5 each afternoon we go to the gymn. We have an enclosed back porch, 16x28x8ft. If there is sun then there is sun somewhere on the porch. The floor is concrete, good for a parrots toe nails. Half the porch is for me, the other half is stocked with everything a parrot could love.

I work out a little bit, he works out a little bit. I sweat and groan. He climbs, he jumps, he flys, he makes his parrot jungle noises. He chases a rubber ball and carrys it back just like a dog, to be rolled again.

Believe me we have a good team work out. We don't need no stinkin diet. I was 31 when I found shadow and 175 lbs. Today I'm 62 and 182. Shadow and I eat what and when we want. We know we'll work it off together.

Stay slim and trim get yourself a macaw.
