Planning and Re-Planning

So my grandmother wanted to meet me for lunch today at Arby's. I said ok, not the healthiest option but I looked up their nutrition menu online and had a whole meal planned out that fit in my calorie goal. Kids turkey sandwich with apples and chocolate milk. I even pre-logged my lunch!

I get there and "oh, we don't have apples or chocolate milk today, is curly fries okay???"

:( "NO! that is not okay, unless you are hiding some 35 calorie curly fries in there somewhere."

So I frantically search the menu, trying to remember something that wasn't so bad from the website. I settled on a Roast Turkey Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing ( because when I asked if they had low-fat ranch the girl rolled her eyes and said uh.. it's buttermilk ranch). Sigh.. so I used half the packet of dressing and re-entered my new lunch options.

Everyone says healthy eating is all about planning.
What do you do when your original plan doesn't work out??
