Caution: Long Weekend Ahead!
I am really looking forward to this long holiday weekend!! We have lots of fun things planned with friends and family. We’re staying in town but we’re going to some BBQs, a soccer game, and maybe the state fair if we find time! The “Caution!” warning in my blog title is a reminder to myself that with all the socializing and being out & about I need to pay careful attention to my food - pick the healthiest options and watch those portions, Self!

The one “pass” I’m giving myself is at the state fair. I’m not going to eat anything & everything I want to, but I am planning in advance to allow myself 1) a huge mound of shaved ice…..yummmmmm and 2) a greasy, buttery, doughy, cinnamon-sugary elephant ear. I swear to you, buddies, there are times I would give an ARM for one of these delicacies. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The fair only comes once a year, and this will be my indulgence.

However, I do need to be careful with those two “treats” on Sunday to balance it out with some extra exercise, because weigh-in is Monday and I want to see a loss! So I’ll try to go for a good long run on both Saturday and Sunday to get those cardio minutes in.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Hi Kari,
Enjoy your weekend!? I think it sounds like you have everything all planned out.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Luella
You’ve been working so hard Kari that I’m glad you’re having your elephant ear.? I think it’s so important to allow yourself these treats in moderation and that is exactly what you are doing so have a great time and let your taste buds party on!!?
OMG!!!! I love those Elephant Ear thingys!!!
MMMMMMMMMM..lol.
..Why did you have to put that in your blog??? Hmmm??? Just Make my mouth water thinking about them..lol..
lol…I was just telling Jordon the other day…When we go to the State Fair I might have one of those..Since my Self Challenge will be over then…That was going to be my one minor mini treat…lol…
…lol…Any Who…lol…Enjoy your Labor Day Weekend! See Ya On Tuesday!
you are so smart to go into this holiday weekend with a plan! You have
pre ordered your food and have a extra work out planned?
Have fun! I have even at a BBQ passed on the bun and just had the meat
separate. or 1/2 the bun and make an open faced burger. Just a thought.
Enjoy!
That sounds like a great plan!!? And what good would life be without a few indulgences from time to time.? I know you’ll do well!? You have a great plan to balance out your goodies with lots of great exercise!? I would give anything to go to a fair and have a taste of fair food.? We missed it this year and I really wanted to go.?
? So, I’ll live vicariously through you.? I can’t wait to hear all about it!? Have a fantastic time!
What the heck is an elephant ear??? LOL!? I guess I figure out it’s some kind of deep fried doughy concoction that is just too good to be true?? I too have my fair temptations…cotton candy and CANDIED APPLES YUM….!?? You enjoy these treats..you are planning for them and that is so wonderful that you will be able to enjoy them guiltfree!
