Part of my wife’s hangover recovery program yesterday required bacon baps. As I was in town anyway (having to work on a Saturday, can’t be good for you) I picked some baps and bacon up and we treated ourselves to a bit of a fat boy lunch. The problem with this was that we had a load of bacon left over.
So I wake up this morning and the bacon is looking at me in the fridge, a quick check on the packet shows 75 calories a rasher. What are you going to do? I decided that I’d take one for the team and eat the lot at once, get temptation out of the house. Ten minutes later and the 6 bacon rashers are stuffed into 2 baps and it’s all gone, a rough estimate at somewhere around 750 calories. 20 minutes later and I’m feeling bloated and a bit sick, today wasn’t supposed to be a gym day but I thought urgent measures were required. After downing 2 pints of water (can’t under estimate the amount of salt in bacon) I headed for the gym with the idea of burning 800 calories.
Even walking up the stairs to the changing rooms was hard, my legs were very heavy. 4 rashers (300 calories) in on the cross trainer and I though I was dying. It was then though that something strange happened, not so much a second wind but an energy boost. Not only did I cover nearly 8 kilometers on the cross trainer but I then rowed for 3.5. Some sit-ups and a bit of light weight work and my total work out resulted in:-
Calories Burnt: 1097 (40% fat)
In Fat Burning Zone: 1 hour 9 minutes
That’s by far and away the best workout I’ve done since I started this. Mind you this afternoon I was more than happy to just put my feet up and watch Man Utd beat Tottenham! What this all clearly shows is that bacon is the breakfast of gods, saying that though I think I’ll not try it again next week.
ps just in case anybody is wondering I had cereal for my lunch to make up for things a little as well
