The question is: what should you do over this weekend?? Well, if it's me it will usually involve mentally switching off for a few days, catching up with some friends...and some light exercise and a stretch...
...I can hear the complaints already..."...come on, Caolan, I'm on holidays...surely a couple of days off won't matter..."
...actually, it will...I know long weekends are a time to over-indulge - whether it be chocolate or alcohol...and the longer you take to kickstart your metabolism, the more likely those extra calories will remain with you...
"...surely a choccy egg or a beer won't make that much difference..."
...okay, let me make it easy for you...every beer you drink means you will have to spend about 6 minutes running, 18-20 minutes walking or 8-10 minutes on a bike or in the pool...a glass of wine is reasonably similar, although a glass of red will tend to pack about half the calories of a beer......and chocolate is much worse - your average Easter egg or about five little ones will mean about a 35 minute run, 50 minutes swimming or on the bike, and a colossal two hours walking to burn off...
...and for those of you counting at home - Caolan's personal tally for the weekend: zero Easter eggs...and it'll stay that way...
*pats self on the back* No Easter eggs and beer for this gal. Oh and staying strong with the work outs...yes!
ReplyDeleteI must say though I learned a lot of how one simple, cute and delicious chocolate Easter Bunny can be so dangerous...
