Muscles, Where Art Thou?

I take a lot of pride in having strong, toned arms. However, after my LONG cold/cough/missing lung illness and four weeks away from the gym, all signs of muscle tone have disappeared from my upper body quicker than a box of Tim Horton's donuts (yum ... donuts). For the past 15 minutes, I've been standing in front of the TV, lifting my wussy five-pound hand weights, and I'm DYING. In the spirit of full disclosure, I was watching the new 90210 and it's possible the bad acting was sucking the life out of me. Will have to change the channel, continue my workout and gauge the difference.
