fair fare
It's that time of year again: fair season!
I visited the Texas State Fair yesterday for some fun times with some friends. I had a blast watching the kiddos in our group on the rides, playing games, riding the ferris wheel and seeing the sights. I was really worried about what I would eat. Now, there is not really such a thing as healthy food at the Texas State Fair...the fair is known for deep frying everything (this year the award-winner was deep fried beer...). I did manage to find one almost healthy item: a banana dipped in chocolate and frozen. It just had a little chocolate on it. It was fairly tasty. They also had roasted corn on the cob, but I wasn't able to eat any because of my braces. My friend said the corn was really good though.
I did not get on the scale this morning to see what damage was done with the funnel cake, nachos, etc. that were also consumed. I am at peace with knowing I ate some food, didn't gorge myself, but had a good time. Had there been a healthy option, I would have eaten it. That's life sometimes (I just make sure it's only once in a while that I have days like that, and not an every day thing).
One thing I am regretting today: my choice of footwear! I should have worn sneakers, but was in flip flops instead. My calves are a little sore today. Of course, that could be from the 30 minute stair climber session I had yesterday morning or the cumulative exercise I've had for the last several days. Either way, I am very thankful for my foam roller! That thing really helps to work out the kinks!
Looking forward to the weekend and catching up on some household chores and rest. :)
