    Watch out 75, I'm coming for ya! ;) (Brittany)

    So yeah. After my little loss last week, I was expecting a big number. I was hoping for 6 pounds...haha! A girl can dream right? The scale did not let me down however. I lost 4.2. Which puts me at 73 pounds lost total!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **Screaming and running around the room** I am going to be at 75 pounds down sooner than I expected. I won't be going to weigh-in next week because it's Opening Day (Go Reds!!!) and if I were to lose 2 pounds this week, I would be upset to hit that milestone at a meeting other than my own. So I'm just going to stay on plan and weigh-in on Monday in two weeks and aim for 2 pounds lost between now and then. I can do it!!!

    Now, a question. As I stated above, I'm going to the Reds Game on the 31st. Breakfast will be alright. I'll just eat before I leave. Snacks will be no problem. I can take 100 calorie packs and some sliced apples along. The problem is at the stadium. What should I eat? I don't have to worry about the soda or the beer, because I don't drink either. (Well...occasionally soda, but no way will I be drinking it at the ball park). I'll be bringing my own water with me. $4.50 for water? No thanks! The last game I went to, I had a veggie dog with some grilled veggies on top and one of those mini baseball hat sundaes with strawberry topping and counted everything as 20 points. And I ended up gaining weight that week. So this time, I need a plan. And I need to be safe. No way am I screwing up so close to 75 pounds! I figure, if I want ice cream, the ice cream bars have the nutritional information on them. And the Dippin' Dots have nutritional information on their website. As far as actual food goes though. What do you think? Our ballpark has LaRosa's pizza and Skyline Chili. Both of which have nutritional information that is easily accessible. Should I just go with one of those since I'm sure of the nutritional information on them? Here's a rundown of the basic food that they have in the ballpark:

    Alley Dogs - Section 401:
    - Featuring Kahn's Hotdogs, Brats, Big Red Smokeys, Popcorn and Soft Pretzels.

    Doggy's Dogs - Section 135:
    - Featuring Kahn's Hotdogs, Brats, and Big Red Smokeys.

    Downtown/High 5/ Crosley Grill - Sections 119, 130, 514:
    - Specializing in 1/2 pound Burgers, Grilled Chicken Sandwiches, Chicken Tenders and an assortment of French Fries.

    Dugout Dogs - Sections 516 & 525:
    - Featuring Kahn's Hotdogs, Brats, Big Red Smokeys, Popcorn and Soft Pretzels.

    Frank's Franks - Sections 113, 142, 531:
    - Featuring Kahn's Hotdog, Brats and Big Red Smokey.

    Home Run Dogs - Section 105:
    - Featuring Kahn's Hotdog, Brats, Big Red Smokeys and Popcorn.

    Knuxy's Knots - Section 525:

    LaRosa's Pizzeria - Sections 113, 133, 518:
    - Try a piece of Cincinnati featuring LaRosa's Pizza and Steak Hoagies.

    Montgomery Inn - Section 124:
    - Cincinnati's own Montgomery Inn Pulled Pork and Chicken. For Dessert try one of our many flavors of Dippin Dots.

    Riverfront Dogs - Section 118:
    - Featuring Kahn's Hotdog, Brats and Big Red Smokeys.

    Roebling Dogs - Sections 113 & 135:
    - Featuring Kahn's Hotdog, Brats and Big Red Smokeys.

    Skyline Chili - Sections 116, 130 & 518:
    - Featuring Cincinnati's own Skyline Cheese Coney.

    United Dairy Farmers - Sections 117, 133 & 525:
    - Try a United Dairy Farmers Chocolate/Vanilla Soft Serve Sundae today. UDF Hard Dip Cups, Ice Cream Bars and the Frosty Malt are also available.

    I could go with a grilled chicken sandwich, or something like that. But my worry there is that I will underestimate as far as points go. Heck! I thought I over-estimated the last time and ended up gaining. So what do you? Anyone have any suggestions? Open-mouthed All input is greatly appreciated. I am so nervous about eating there so close to the 75 pound mark.

    oh god... ballpark food.  Trust me I feel your pain!!!!  Unfrtunately i only need to deal with it twice so far this season... GRRRRRR!!  But yeah I try to stick with the grilled chicken sandwhich while I'm at Fenway (side note i said try, me and fenway well those are my non diet days though i try hard).  I know at the same time Fenway has some over priced fruit cups, do they have those there too?  you'd be surprised what else you can find... what about half of a pretzel (or a quarter depending on size)... i usually try to add some lettuce & whatnot to the chicken sandwhich.  But yeah I also agree, could it be your cheat meal for the week?
    oh and CONGRATS!!! yayayayayay!!!!

    Montgomery Inn would be a REAL cheat - worth it to me - but not when you are so close to your goal!
    When we went to the Blue Jackets I ate ONE brat (allowed for the bun and brat in planning) - mustart and catsup.  We weren't allowed to bring in water or food - so I got one Large diet to drink, and Jim and I split a pretzel.  I ate all the carbs for the day at that meal.  Oh - I ate before we went in, too - so I wasn't hungry.
    And - if someone has a problem with what your eating - say you are diabetic - I am, and it always works for me!
    Have fun - Go Reds - I haven't been to a game since the new stadium(that ages me, huh?).

    what about also using that meal as your cheat meal for the week, or going for a veggie pizza with no cheese, or if you get the cheese, blot off the excess fat?

    congrats on the weight loss! that is amazing!  so you and I are neck and neck! wooo hooooooooooooooooooooooo! I am so glad there is someone else way up there with me. sometimes it embarrasses me, but I'm not alone now :D yay!

    Carla Dwrote:
    You gained weight for the week with one meal???? wow!  ok, well, I'm gonna go with 'go with what you know is healthiest and can actually get the info on' but have you tried contacting the catering section of the ballpark to see if they do offer healthier items for the health conscious fans that aren't on the menu?

    What I choose to eat when I go out is based also on what else I have eaten that day. so it would be difficult for me to make suggestions to you, plus not knowing what you  REAAAAALLY like. the best I can offer is what I said at first...but this you cannot, CANNOT leave off the menu: F-U-N!  enjoy yourself!

    Simple! Pack the water, the 100 calorie packs and a couple of meal bars or a couple of your own made Chicken on whole wheat....and have fun knowing the food is covered! -Todd

    LaRosas or Montgomery Inn might have nutritional info available.  If nothing else, I'd opt for the soft serve cone!  Yum!
