Default managing an unplanned day

Forgot my lunch today and had to buy at work, then went to a dinner meeting where dinner was served.

Just toted up my calories and I did fine.

Phew.

Day nine of my restart and I did fine.

Good for you! I have been finding that when I add up my unplanned days, they aren't as bad as I am thinking they are.

It's really true. I had this awful moment of panic and thought I had blown it, then I told myself to calm down because it probably wasn't as bad as I thought. And I was right.

Good for you! I hate days when I forget or don't have time to pack a lunch. My favorite go-to is McD's grilled chicken with half the bun. (For future reference )

Good idea to figure up the calories and not just assume you'd blown it...

Great job! Unplanned days stink, but you found that you can manage even when things don't go your way

I try to plan for the unplanned. I keep some soup in my desk at work, which really came in handy when I forgot my lunch a while back...

My day went out of control yesterday, but my eating did not. That makes me very happy. The strategy that worked for me yesterday was "focus on veggies" -- that led to some really good choices.

Soup in the desk is a great idea!
