With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

There was a recent study and the approximetly 7 trillion calories there, and it's all on a sitck. lol (I'm not kidding) What am I supposed to do about this? I mean I bet none of you have heard of deep fried candy bars on a stick before! I've never seen anything healthy there! Do you think I should just skip this day and pig out like I usually do? I have no idea.

I don't know about a complete pigout though....lol. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

Ummm all the fair food would probably make me puke though... they do fry everything and throw it on a stick. I haven't been there in years though since I hate the food, the crowds, and the music. Not meaning to sound negative though ;)

And don't forget - you will be wanting to bring your water bottle (you can refill at the Glenwood stand). Have fun, enjoy the fair, avoid the crap. But you may want to pick one cheat item... just not the deep-fried candy bar!
