Grange Fair 2011
The Centre County Grange Fair is like nothing most people have ever seen. When most people think of a fair they think funnel cake, games, animals and entertainment, not campers, tents and vacation. Having the privilege of growing up in Central Pennsylvania my family has been a resident of the fair for many years.
This tent has been home away from home for one week in August for as long as I can remember. I have many fond memories from the Grange Fair and like going back each year to catch up with friends that I don't get to see but once a year at the fair.
A must have at the fair for me is Sunset ice cream.
This year I went in with a plan so I would not feel guilty about having a cup of Peanut Butter Ripple. Yummy! To pass up on the many tempting fair foods, I packed salads for lunch and my family prepared our own dinner in the tent. Doing this not only helped with my diet it also helped save money.
Mo & I along with my cousin's family spent Friday night camping out in the tent. I woke up early Saturday morning because my body does so naturally and whispered to my cousin's daughter do you want to go for a run. Having left my own sneakers at home I put on my husbands and off we went running around the perimeter of the fairgrounds twice. I thought I would miss exercise due to it not being on the treadmill, however when my legs turned to jelly and ached the next day I know I had a good workout and had no need to make up for it. I must say it felt pretty good to get outside and run so I'm going to continue running in the future.
Here are my latest results.
Weight: 277
BMI: 43.4
97 lbs until adoption process begins
What I came to realize this week is it's okay to have a treat. I just have to plan for it..
Till next week.
