When in Hong Kong...skip the dessert

As I get ready to leave Hong Kong, I will leave you with a few bullet points that sum up my trip from a nutrition/diet/exercise perspective:

- it is impossible to count calories in HK, about the only thing you can know is if you are eating clean or not
- there is a tropical depression off the coast which has not turned into a typhoon - the rain has not stopped since I got here and has hindered my exercise


 - BUT... I have walked even in the rain - yesterday according to my pedometer, I walked over 12,000 steps (that is 6km)
 - Skipping sugar has not been easy until yesterday - Nick and I went for Shanghaiese food and they brought a red bean soup for dessert.  I passed...Nick had a bit of a go.  I wish that was for dessert everyday.  I would be able to say NO every single time!



Lastly, there is a real party atmosphere in HK and I think I have had more drinks in the last 4 days than I have in the last 4 months.  Last night I was drunk on ONE champagne.  My goal for London is the only alcohol should be when I am winning at the races.
