I'm excited to go to the Iowa State Fair again this year. I used their online Plan Your Itinerary tool for the day I plan to attend, but I may have to deviate from that based upon time and such.

Anywya, I'm really excited to see how much walking I get on my Fitbit for the day.

Here is my plan:
-Arrive plenty early for the Park & Ride, park far away from the pickup point, and walk across the parking lot.
-Do not use the "tram" (tractor & wagon), even to get up the hill.
-Research whether they allow one to bring in water, and carry hydration pack if yes (to save costs and minimize soda). Note: I do not get any calories from soda, as I only consume diet. However, the amount of intake for that day in order to stay hydrated alone is enough to also make me feel ill due to the high acidity, and/or maybe the caffeine.
-Try to eat at least one snack from the fruit/veggie stands.
-Log everything and no funnel cake unless I can afford it in my calories (but I will allow myself to eat back spent calories).
-Minimal standing / sitting around. This is going to be especially difficult because I want to go to various things where I would be sitting or standing to watch. I won't be in line for the butter cow, but I'll try to make the smartest choice as it presents itself.

Is anyone else planning to go to the Iowa State Fair this year? Do you plan to eat the fried butter on a stick (or other calorie dense foods)? If so, do you plan to offset it or will you consider it to be a cheat day?
