Stepping Forward with Less Information

Challenge for the day:
I will eat lunch at a restaurant for which I have NO nutrition facts.  I can't tell you the last time I did this, certainly not in living memory.  Usually when I go out to eat I look up all the menu and nutrition info way ahead of time and already know what I'm going to order, and how much it will 'cost' calorically, before I even walk into the place.  And, usually, I "adjust" my food intake for the entire day to account for whatever I order.  They recently opened a really neat looking place across from campus, though, it's a "Coffee, Cereal, and Peanut Butter Bistro."  Those happen to be my three favorite food groups, no joke.  I must check this place out.  And I happen to have a break between classes and a meeting today that is not long enough for me to come home to eat, but is long enough to grab something close to campus, so if I'm going to try it sometime it seems like today is a good opportunity.  The bistro is small and independently owned, so NO website, NO nutrition facts, I'm just left to (gasp) order what I think looks good...

So, today, scary scary spontaneity.  Or that's the plan at least.

Good luck! It sounds like a fun place to try.

Good luck with spontaneous outing! The Bistro sounds great. I hope you let yourself enjoy it and try not to do math computations in your head. Even though letting go of those numbers is hard, there is an element of "free-ness."

Cammy,

So what did you think?

I am very proud of you for doing this. Not surprisingly, I have issues with this as well.
