State Fair!!

Doug and I decided to go to the State Fair today. We got there pretty early, around 9:30ish, and as soon as we walked in he got a big, juicy turkey leg. Mmmm. Of course I had to have two little nibbles, it was so tasty. Chew, chew, chewed it to death.

A while later, after we walked to the other side of the fairgrounds, he got some cheese curds. I took one small one, peeled off the greasy batter, and slowly enjoyed the gooey cheese inside. Heavenly. I really wanted to be careful so I wouldn't have any "issues," that's why I took the batter off. It would have been too greasy for me and I probably would have had to run to a bathroom. We looked for the chocolate-covered bacon, but didn't find it. I don't know if I would have even attempted a taste, pure grease and sugar which would have been a disaster, although I have not had any problems with anything I've eaten so far.

Then he made me taste his beer!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! I'm not supposed to have any alcohol for 6 mos. to a year (depending on who you listen to), and I'm really just shy of 4 weeks out from surgery. LOL, but I really only had enough to get the taste in my mouth (he said it was good, I was like "it's ok, beer is beer to me"). So yes, I was the ultimate rule-breaker today.

Sorry AGAIN, Queen!! ; )

On the good side though, we did a LOT of walking. Oh yeah, and the scale finally moved this morning, it was down about 1.5 lbs. since yesterday. It hasn't moved for almost 2 weeks now, not one bit. So that was good. Maybe with all the walking today it'll be good tomorrow.

We were only there about 3 1/2 hours, and it was getting so crowded it wasn't even fun anymore. I really need to learn to retrain myself though, on the way out we got some iced coffee (mine decaf, skim milk, sugar-free syrup...yes, I've turned into one of those "very specific order" people), and I ordered us each a 16-oz., not thinking that I couldn't drink that much. Duh. Oh well, Doug drank it (not knowing it was decaf), so it didn't go to waste. I just need to remember that I need to get a SMALL, not medium or large anymore.

In time...
