A house dressed up for halloween on Olive Street in the Highland neighborhood of Shreveport , Louisiana.
Both Halloween and the State Fair of Louisiana all in one week is more than enough proof to say fall has arrived ! The temptations that surround us this time of year do not always agree with our plans to eat healthfully . However, you may be surprised to find out that you can find healthy foods walking down the midway . Here are a few tips to help you navigate the State Fair of Louisiana without punishing your waistline .
1. Remember the fair has healthy foods . Look for grilled options such as chicken and steak . Grilled vegetables are great , too.! Be mindful of your beverages such as sweetened teas , sodas and lemonade . These can pack quite a powerful calorie punch .
2 . Sharing can be a good thing . Have a carving for that one food , but you know you shouldn't eat the entire portion ? There is nothing wrong with sharing a few of your favorites with a friend .
3 . Be intentional and purposeful with your choices . Plan ahead . Tak a walk completely down the midway before making your selection . Know what is offered and make your choice ahead of time to eliminate impluse spending .
4 . One day do not make or break a diet plan . If you happen to overindulge , Make sure you get back on track tomorrow .

Hi G,
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to resist corn dogs and cotton candy and French fries are my personal weakness. I have to walk through a fair with blinders on. Good advice is sometimes hard to follow.
Good post. Loved the pictures.
If Satan knocked at our door, I'd get Nana to answer. She'd hit him with her stick and run over him with her walker. He wouldn't be back.
luv and hugs
I do thank you my Lady for your kind words .
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying myself immensely . I think I got the hang of the pictures with my dang son's help .
I really was expecting a reaction form you on my ghost house .
