Lindt Bunnies Galore
1 April 2011
Afternoon Everyone,
Those cute little gold bunnies with the red ribbons have been on the shelves now I think since New Years Day, so if you haven't been tempted by one yet I am very impressed!
They say the golden rule for surviving all the Easter temptations is no Hot Cross Buns until Good Friday and no Easter Eggs until Easter Sunday!!!! I am proud to say that so far so good for me! How bout you?
So if you are trying not to gain any inches this Easter, here is a reminder of how many minutes of exercise you will need to do if you find yourself tempted!
| Small Easter Bun | 41mins of walking | 32 mins golf | 18 mins of boxing | 17mins of jogging |
| Large Easter Bun | 52 mins of walking | 39 mins golf | 22mins of boxing | 21mins of jogging |
| Choc Chip Easter Bun | 55 mins of walking | 42 mins golf | 24 mins of boxing | 23 mins of jogging |
| 100g packet of Solid Eggs | 109 mins of walking | 83 mins golf | 47 mins of boxing | 45 mins of jogging |
| Lindt Bunny | 111 mins of walking | 84 mins golf | 48 mins of boxing | 46 mins of jogging. |
Remember though, that life is not all about deprivation. If you stick to the 80/20 rule (i.e. for 80% of the time you burn more than you consume), then it is OK to enjoy a treat at Easter (just not every day for the 3wks leading up to it!!!!!!!!!).
Have an active and nourishing weekend,
Heidi
P.S. You will notice I have changed my picture. There are 2 reasons. Firstly it was my plan this week to make this change as a kind of positive visualisation tool so as I could imagine myself actually exercising again (it has been 10 mths and 27 days due to this damn dirty dengue!). But believe it or not, once my plan had been set to visualise this I was given the go ahead to start exercising as of today. I'm only allowed a 20 min stroll, but OMG I can't tell you how excited I am. So today marks the reincarnation of Heidi Dening the exerciser! Woo-hoo!
P.P.S. Why don't you join me this Sunday afternoon at 5.30pm at Forestville Public School Hall, Darley St Forestville to hear the incredible 'Untamed Melody' achapella choir belt out some amazing songs. There is just a $5 donation at the door and all money raised goes to helping those effected by the Tanna cyclone in Vanuatu. Can't wait to hear you sing Glenda.
