What is Pig Out in the Park you ask? Well..... i am sure every major city has one and call it by a different name. in Seattle it is called the Bite of Seattle. the difference being that well, it is in Spokane and "pig out" lasts for 6 days (Wednesday-Monday) labor day weekend. there are 50-100 food vendors, plus arts and crafts and music all over the park for people to enjoy while chowing down. needless to say there are no healthy options at an event like this other than fruit kabobs and corn on the cob, but i was not going to even go there or tempt it.
I brought my own food- a chicken sammy (pomegranate vinegar marinated grilled chicken and a slice of whole wheat bread) a bottle of water and a protein bar.
we arrived at about 11am and didn't leave till about 2:30 pm. ran in to some friends while there and they were very impressed by my restraint. i said that i am focused, i brought my own, i am on a budget and if i did go off track i know from past experience i would feel ill with in minutes. it is not worth it to me, i have worked to hard for this to blow it on something so stupid.
the only thing that i could really smell that i liked would be garlic fries... but all the grease, no way!!!! it reminded me of safeco field in Seattle though.
