Santa's Enchanted Forrest

Last night we went to Santa's Enchanted Forrest. I haven't been since b4 I met my husband and he's never been. Normally I wouldn't waste the money but it was really cold this weekend for some reason and I really wanted to do something outdoors to enjoy it. So we ended up going there at 9pm. It closes at midnight. My husband thought it was a waste of money ($26 per person) to only go for 3 hours but i figured we could get a lot done.

I should explain that Santa's is a 2 part theme park. The first part is all pretty lights and cute Christmas displays. The 2nd part is a carnival with rides and food.Speaking of food, I have never lusted over food as I did last night. I had to point out each food place and what they sold. Thank goodness I had the foresight to have dinner at home first. Whew! So I am proud to say that the only thing I bought there was 1 bottle of water. :-)

Around 11:30 people started to clear out. I was ready to leave but my husband wanted to go back and see if he could get on the rides with no lines. We ended up staying till 1am! He got to ride all the rides he wanted with little to no lines. It was awesome. We definitely felt like we got our money's worth by staying. It was so much nicer without the crowds. It felt like Disney during resort hours. When it got late I started to get hungry. Uh oh. I pulled out some trailmix just to hold me over. It ended up getting alittle stuck which was a good thing because when my husband offered to buy me something to eat I really couldn't!

I really wanted something sweet but everything there was fried or pure sugar. So when I got home I made this really yummy dessert using graham crackers, sugar free caramel, sugar free jello pudding, sugar free cool whip, sf vanilla syrup, apples and toasted pecans. I had one slice and let me tell you, it was decadent and totally hit that sweet spot. Last night was a great night! Oh and when I got home I ate my leftover dinner too. I have made a corn tortilla with homemade refried beans (not really refried just cooked and mashed), ground turkey taco meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. Well I could only eat half so } popped it in the fridge. When I came home it was like eating Taco Bell leftovers. I always used to eat them cold. It was so yummy! A night of yummy food and no carnival food!

Weird thing is i hardly consumed anything yesterday. I got in 35g of protein and 39oz of water. An all time low for me. I wonder if its because of the cold weather? Weird because i was out walking around for hours.
