Have u ever tried jogging for 50 minutes continuously?
- yes ofcourse...
Have u ever eaten your favourite ice-cream on a hot summer evening?
- yeah definitely....!
Now....tell me have u ever tried combining both of them?
- what do u mean? You mean, jog for 50 minutes on a hot summer evening and then hog an ice-cream????? phew...are u crazy!!!
yesss, thats a crazy, whacky idea! Let me explain how it feels to try this unusual thing.......
I'm all hungry, thirsty and sweaty after that long, tiring jog and finally enter Cold Stone Creamery which itself smells like a big ice-cream. I gaze at the menu for so long that I've tears in my eyes because I forgot to blink for sometime!! Finally I decide to try Strawberry Banana Rendezvous. As I order, the young-tall boy on the other side scoopes out a big ball of pink Strawberry ice-cream. I think...okey, am all set to take the ice-cream. But wait a minute, he just started with strawberry, what about banana and the renedezvous? So..I wait patiently trying to close my watering mouth!
Suddenly I see an unusual and interesting thing....the boy places the ice-cream on a cold stone, flatten it, adds few strawberries, few pieces of banana, Graham cracker pie crust and as per my request, adds roasted almonds and pecans instead of white chocolate chips since I feel chocolate chips isn't the right fit. He mixes the whole cocktail lovingly as though he just invented a whole new ice-cream! The cocktail is now stuffed into a tiny bowl and handed over to me. I rejoice from within as though I won a trophy for working hard for 50 mins and keeping my mouth wide open for so long in the shop!
Nooow comes the best part of et al. I settle down in a corner and put the first scoop of this creation in my mouth. Yoppieeeee...hmmm....~*its simply amazing*~! I feel as though I've floated a few inches into the heaven. For a few mintues, I see the world around me turning into beautiful red strawberries, bunches of bananas, lots of almonds and graham crackers, all of them blending in tonnes of strawberry ice-cream. I relish, relish aaaaand relish every bit of that ice-cream till I realize that am scrapping the bottom of the bowl!
I feel totally light and delighted after this no gain, no loss affair. Its a boost for my feel good factor coz on one hand am glad that I burnt 400 cal. and on the other hand I got to throughly enjoy this superb creation on earth, which ofcourse added 200 calories back.
So what? Think about the whole experience.....its priceless and memorable.
As I finish writing, I cant wait to go for my evening jog :)

oooo lala.. that article is as tasty and delicious as the ice cream. Mind if I join you for the jog???
How about hogging *while* jogging?! :)
Hi Smiths..Kari here.. nice 2 see ur blog.. heheh..
Regarding the jog and hog.. u will need to run like 3 hrs to burn the calories of the ice cream u displayed..heheh
I have the same problem.. i run at the gym be happy that i burned 250 calories,,, come back home and eat 4 cookies...just 4 choclate chip cookies... shucks.. once by mistake i saw that calorie content of the cookies.. 4 constitute to 300 calories !!!!!! wat a waste at the gym !! :((
The hogging part works perfectly fine with me. Look at the bright side of it - I like to pig on an icecream without even working out :) So you are better off then the most of us mortals.
Hmmm.. the icecream that you just described would put even the most complicated flavours of Baskin-Robbins to shame :) Ha ha ha.
On a serious note though, your blog is well written. Really appreciate it. Now I am all tempted to post one of my own. Keep up the good work and you have one reader hooked on to your blog spot
