Proper planning is a must for me. I am a planner, almost obnoxiously so! With respect to healthy eating, planning out my day ahead of time is really important. I'm still adjusting to being so conscious of keeping daily carb intake at 100 or less, so thinking through my day each morning helps me stay on track and not end up at dinner with no carbs left to consume. That's certainly not a horrible problem and it's easy to put together a meal that includes zero carbs, but I prefer spreading them throughout the day.

I had thought yesterday would be a normal day here in the mountains where I'd be on my own for all three meals and had planned accordingly, but in the afternoon learned that my friend had planned dinner for us. I knew whatever she prepared would be delicious as she is an excellent cook. I also knew that I had not compensated in any way earlier in the day for extra carbs in the evening. I was grateful for the article I've referenced earlier which was the inspiration for my choosing the 100 Days of 100 Carbs challenge. The writer emphasized that over the course of the 100 days, he had days where he consumed LOTS more than 100 carbs and that was o.k. He didn't allow it to wreck the entire effort. I determined to do the same.
Isn't that fawn adorable? Those spots!!!

The meal, as expected, was delicious. Because I am so motivated, I made good choices. I didn't deprive myself, but neither did I overindulge. I carefully calculated my carbs for the day and didn't even flinch when I arrived at the total. Truthfully, it wasn't as bad as I expected. Maybe there's hope for this obnoxious planner to indulge in a little spontaneity after all!
(I was enjoying my breakfast this morning and noticed movement out the side window of my cabin. I am way up on the top of the mountain and although deer are everywhere a bit lower, I hadn't seen any here yet, so imagine my surprise to see this tiny adorable fawn and mama frolicking in my side yard. They entertained me for about ten minutes while I finished my breakfast before moving on.)
