So my journey to the county fair has come and gone. I'm going to call it "the day that I almost crashed the WW app".
So here's the past few days. I weighed in on wednesday and had lost 2lbs. About a week ago I had to buy new work pants or seriously risk having my whole department know that I enjoy brightly colored undies. I ended up buying 2 pairs because of course, I'm the perfect inbetween size. Dammit. So the larger pair is truly a bit big on me but not excessively so, and I refuse to completely smush myself into smaller size just yet. I know that in a few weeks there will be no smushing needed.
Yesterday I ended up at the fair. Now let me explain this a little bit. Our fair isn't some rinky dink little thing with a couple rides and sheep. Erie County fair is the 2nd largest fair in NYS and the 3rd largest county fair in the country. There's tons of stuff to see and do and of course, eat. We always have new foods popping up, this year included shark and alligator kabobs which I didn't try, along with fried gummy bears and a few other things I've lost track of. I always have certain food items that are just part of my fair experience. It's stuff I associate with it, and some of it is food I only ever eat while I'm there. So pondering this all, after my little day of debauchery that I didn't enjoy a few weeks ago, I was thinking this might be the same. It wasn't. I ate like a death row inmate and enjoyed it, but I think the difference here was that I know this is a one time thing. I don't have access to this stuff all the time, and it's part of the experience. If I can get this stuff through the year, I know I'm not ever going to eat it all at once so to me, the fair is and will stay a one off screw it I'm eating what I want type thing.
My total fair food intake was a piece of pizza, a corn dog (which isn't one of my usuals, they just smelled really good and I haven't had one in years), fried dough nuggets which I didn't finish because they were just too heavy, lime fizz, birch beer, curly fries (fresh cut, not those weird seasoned ones), and a cannoli. Then whenI got home my friend and I ended up splitting a personal size cheese pizza and some garlic breadsticks. I enjoyed most of it. The curly fries were disappointing as they were underdone, and the fried dough in nugget form were just too heavy. I've only ever had the large slabs of it before and figured the nuggets would be easier to eat and smaller but I was wrong. I wanted fudge but didn't see it, and I resisted a stand that had fried cheese curds. Part of it was because I was full, part of it was because they were 7 bucks, and part of it was going "you don't need them".
So this brings me to today. I had no intention of tracking yesterday but I figured what the heck, let's see how much damage I did. I tracked as best as I could, using some generic items and estimating others like the fried dough. And yeah, it was a lot. My figuring gave me a total of using 65 points for the day and leaving me 22 weeklies left. I did count all the walking though. Actually I'm probably underestimating that, but I figured with all the starting and stopping and meandering around, I counted it was walking for 90 minutes (I was there for about 7 hours, so this is why I think I'm actually underestimating but that's OK) and it spit back 7 activity points. I feel fine today, just tired and sore from walking so much. I will just go back to my normal on program eating and next wednesday when I'm at my meeting whatever comes of this is fine.
I hope to learn a lot from you all. 
I got on my scale today and I'm up a couple pounds but I'm not sure how much of that is due to higher than normal salt intake and how much is the treats. 
That means a month without a paycheck. Oh and I'm due for TOM which always makes me want to eat sweets. lol
