It’s Ballpark Time...

It’s hard getting around nine innings of temptations!  I am hoping I get to go to a Cubs game this year - not that I am a huge fan, but I love Wrigley Field and the experience! There aren't a lot of healthy choices, but here are some things to remember.  Choose grilled chicken over deep fried chicken sandwiches or tenders.  Try frozen yogurt instead of ice cream.  A handful of roasted peanuts over the caramel corn.  Go for a customized deli sandwich, heavy on the lettuce and tomato with mustard instead of mayo.  Have a beer, but drink plenty of water and stay away from the soft drinks and lemonade.  Best of all you can get some exercise - walk around the ball park before the game, the seventh inning stretch and after the game.  If you are like me and have to pee a lot - the stadium stairs are also a good workout!  

BTW - The all-beef hot dog with mustard contains 214 calories; the corn off the cob, 386.  Lite beer contains 90-110 calories per 12 ounces.  Lemonade has 150 calories and 37 grams of sugar per 12 ounces!
