This week I met up with a couple of girlfriends for a welcome home dinner. We went out for healthy Mexican food at Porque No?<\/a><\/strong>, one of my favorite restaurants here in Portland. They have tasty fish tacos<\/a><\/strong>, homemade tortilla chips, and delish guacamole<\/a><\/strong>. They also make a mean margarita. I ordered one, but I got way more than I bargained for\u2014a margarita served in a full-on pint glass. (As in, way bigger than the one below:)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"margarita\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A pint of margarita means essentially two cocktails in one, at least. Margaritas are already known for being one of the more sugary, calorie-loaded cocktails out there so I knew I was breaking some sort of rule by drinking it. (At least I stopped at one!) When I checked the calorie count for this tequila spiked treat I found that a 3.3 fl oz serving has 153 calories. Not bad, until you factor in that the one I had was around 16 fl oz! Multiply that number by 4 and you’ve got over 600 calories in a glass!<\/p>\n

(Too bad they weren’t following our recipe for a Skinny Margarita<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

What are a few ways I could have burned off the 612 calories in this big and tasty drink?<\/p>\n

\"power<\/a><\/p>\n

I could have power walked around the neighborhood with my friends for 64 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"salsa\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I could have headed out for a night of salsa dancing. (Or at least 114 minutes worth.)<\/p>\n

\"roller<\/a><\/p>\n

Or I could spent 73 minutes at a friend’s birthday party\u2026 which was happening at a roller rink.<\/p>\n

I decided to walk home after dinner. The weather has been gorgeous, so why not?<\/p>\n
