Ugh. I am completely miserable San Diego. Although I had a great time this weekend visiting Katie in Hutch and going to the fair with Jordy and Brian I definitely think I could have made some better choices when it came to eating. If not just to better stick to my diet, but to keep me from feeling so crappy right now! It all started with dinner at Chipotle on Friday before we left town and then it was downhill from there. We stopped to get gas before getting on the turnpike. I got a 3 Musketeers. A king size. I ate it before we got to Topeka. Then for breakfast Saturday we went to the Carriage Crossing in Yoder. I have always wanted to go and I have to say it was well worth it. Brian and I split one of their famous giant cinnamon rolls and holy hell was it amazing! Then he ordered the biscuits and gravy and I ordered scrambled eggs with hashbrowns, bacon and toast. We kind of shared and ate off each other's plates. I was so full when we were done but I'd do it again. After breakfast we headed to Katie and Louie's house for the non-baby shower, baby shower. They got barbeque catered in from Hog Wild in Hutch. I had a brisket sandwich, potato salad, coleslaw and baked beans. Then it was time for the fair. I'd been planning all month what I was going to eat at the fair and I sure did have almost everything on my list. That's just what you do at the fair. You walk around, check out the butter sculpture, look at the weirdos, and gorge yourself on delicious, fried, greasy and sugary concoctions. I started my fair smorgasbord with a Pronto Pup with Granie's mustard-a must have at the Kansas State Fair. Next I happily found the booth missing from my fair feast last year, stuffed cucumbers! They use this caulking gun like tool to hollow out a whole cuke and then fill it with your choice of stuffing. I opted for ranch dressing. So good! After my cucumber I thought about getting another veggie and going for the roasted corn, but I knew there were other things I would want and I could get roasted corn at home so I passed. By this time I was getting kind of thirsty so I picked up a lemonade and we checked out some of the vendors, crafts, and picked up a jar of honey for Katie (too prego for a second trip to the fair). At around dinner time we decided to hit up the Kansas beer garden where you can get locally made beers and wines. I had a really delicious ale from the Tallgrass brewery in Manhattan. After my headache of beer I was startin' to get the munchies again and I knew I wanted meat! We had seen some people earlier that had some really good looking gyros. We found that stand and Jordy, Brian and I all got a lamb gyro with lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber and taziki sauce. And of course I couldn't leave the fair without having dessert. A caramel apple sundae. Instead of serving it on a stick they cut the apple up and drizzle it with caramel and sprinkle peanuts. You eat it with a fork. Much easier than the stick and just as delicious. And no trip to the Kansas State Fair would be complete without a ride down the slide. By this time I had $2.00 left of the $60 I took out for fair food (don't judge, Brian ate on that money too) just enough for one trip down the slide. Jordy rode with me. It was bliss.
So as if I didn't make enough bad food decisions yesterday we had McDonald's for breakfast this morning (two breakfast burritos, hashbrowns and an orange juice) and Blind Tiger for lunch (chicken strips and fries).
I feel like I need to have my stomach pumped and not eat for 3 days. So bad. For the scales and for my tummy. I plan to spend the rest of the day lying on the couch recuperating and regretting. But I'll probably do it again next year. :P
