Exercise 3B, page 57.0:00
Congratulations on your new job.0:06
You're starting next month, aren't you?0:08
It's my first permanent job and I'm really excited.0:11
I'm a bit worried about moving away from home and setting up flat on my own though.0:14
I'm really going to miss my mum's cooking and I don't know how I'll manage to have a full time job and still eat properly.0:18
Well, as you know, I've been working up in London for the past six months.0:25
It's not easy to cook healthy meals when you're out working all day.0:29
A lot of my friends end up ordering takeaways and junk food, but I've come up with a few ideas.0:34
Well, the most important thing for me is to plan menus ahead.0:41
I plan all my meals for the coming week.0:45
Then I make a shopping list for all the food I'll need and do a weekly shop that ensures that I eat healthy, balanced meals during the week and not rubbish.0:47
Wow, that sounds very organised.0:57
But does that mean you have to cook every day when you get home?0:59
The other trick I have is to cook for more than one meal.1:04
I'll cook several portions of something that I can put in the freezer.1:08
That means I have something ready to eat another day when I don't have enough time to cook.1:12
You just have to defrost it in the microwave, right?1:19
It really does save valuable time.1:22
That's all well and good for your evening meal, but how do you manage to have something healthy when you're actually at work?1:25
When I go to work, I always bring in food from home.1:31
For example, it takes less than five minutes to prepare a nutritious sandwich for lunch.1:34
Another thing I do is to keep a supply of healthy snacks at work, like dried fruit and nuts.1:40
You've certainly given me some food for thought, Rachel.1:47
I'll have to try and get organized like you.1:50
Let me know how you get on.1:53
