Exercising For Cupcakes

I went to Violets today with Jinjer and Erin. Violets is a cupcake place in Old Town Pasadena. The cupcakes are delicious. Today, I didn't get the Elvis instead I went for a peanut butter and jelly cupcake that was nothing short of fabulous.

While there, these two women walk in. They had clearly been getting their exercise in by walking or jogging to Violets. A little sweaty, they were both wearing pedometers as well as exercise radios on their upper arm. We really weren't paying attention to them but as we were getting up to leave I looked over and they were DEVOURING cupcakes. I counted eight cupcakes on their plate and they were definitely eating them.

What in the world would possess you to exercise and then go eat that many cupcakes? Show some self control! I wondered if they did this regularly. I have to be honest, it looked like a routine to me. What do you think?

As usual, I am denied food. If Aunt Laura was here, I might get a taste.

Paula said...

That is hilarious! I am stumped really at what to say!

(PS....Give Sydney a tiny smear of frosting for me!)

Jinjer said...

This was hilarious. And I must say you got them at the perfect angle, once she put her arm down. GREAT photog work KT!!

Maybe walking TO Violet's takes the guilt off of the EIGHT cupcakes??!?!

#1 - PB&J cupcake sounds like heaven!

#2 - wow. I hope they walked from New Mexico, if they were trying to proactively burn off the calories.

I think they were trying to decide on a flavor for their wedding cake.

WTF? I think eight cupcakes cancels out any type of aerobic exercise, doesn't it???

Jenn Ann said...

1 cupcake and no exercise is a nice balance! Give Sydney some frosting!

I love this type of nonsense. My fav is the folks who take a walk around the block and think that a 800 calorie peanut butter smoothie from Jamba Juice is a good way to replenish both the electrolytes they lost.
