Assorted Ravings of the Slightly-Weird

Jogging Woes

Why oh why is jogging just about the only way to burn fat effectively? Am I doomed to have to drag myself out to jog at least 4 times a week for the rest of my life?

Everytime I see those fat-burning ads on TV I am so tempted to try them out, but then luckily when the price of those things flashes on the screen my inner cheapskate kicks in and the urge subsides. It would be so much easier if people could burn fat without having to jog.

Maybe having more sex is the answer. I'm sure enough of it would be a good cardio workout, plus it sure is a heck of a lot more enjoyable than pounding the pavement! I can just imagine the new ad campaign for a gym: "Have sex like rabbits! Lose 30 pounds in 2 weeks!" This would also explain the vicious cycle that unattractive people find themselves in: they're unattractive so no one wants to sleep with them so they end up not burning fat and hence becoming yet more unattractive. Good news if you're attractive and have tons of pple wanting to sleep with you; not so good news if you're fugly cos you now have to deal with being fat as well.

Frivolous thoughts, these, but such are the things that run through my mind as I force myself to jog almost every night. (Did I already mention how much I hate jogging?) About the only thing I like about jogging is the chance for some peaceful quiet thinking, but then again most of my thoughts, apart from thinking about burning fat through rabbit-like sex, are of the "come on, just a bit more to go" variety.

Anyway, I've added some things to my wishlist and top of my list now is a portable music player for me to listen to music as I jog. Other things include a CD holder for my car and the last 2 Sims expansion packs. Of course, if any kind soul is so inclined, there's a lovely lovely lovely brocade jacket and dress on VSC :)

Happy Friday!
