    1/18 So today is my first real day of this challenge ( I work full days Mon - Thurs and only a half day on Fri) I managed to bring in a salad and some bread & pate for bulk (I finished the pate rather than opening a new pack of ham). I also had a yogurt, banana, cereal bar and crisps. I've munched everything except the last 3 items but these can stay in my draw as snacks if I need them. Hopefully it'll keep me away from the canteen!

    Updated! Snacks are always a good shout to have in an emergency. I travel a lot in my job and carry pistachio nuts with me, not easy to eat when driving though so have to wait!

    I'm in again this month. I'm working 12 days :) But my working pattern is changing and I'll be working 8.20-2.30, no break as only 6 hours. There is no way I'll survive until 3.30 when I get home so will need to take several snacky kinda things so I can eat on the go!

    Will make a sandwich & fruit and yogurt I can eat at my desk (shhhhhhhh don't tell my boss!) No more leftovers for me!
