Daily Tip #11 - Duck and Run

Despite our best intentions, sometimes life just gets in the way. And it's glorious. Yesterday, I had a group assessment at Uni. Afterwards, one of our group members suggested we go out for a celebratory dinner together. She knew a Chinese restaurant that served affordable yet excellent Peking Duck. Having never had Peking Duck before, I agreed. That, and the other dishes we ordered, weren't exactly health food. BUT, when life throws you a situation like this, you can minimise the impact by eating smart. Choose steamed over fried. Go easy on the rice. Order a side of veges, and sip on a green tea as you eat (it slows you down, aids digestion, and it makes one glass of wine stretch out for the entire dinner!). Eat less, eat smart, enjoy your duck, and go for a big run the next day.

PS It was delicious!
