January save on work lunches challenge

Noselfdiscipline

Made my own lunch today, but my lunch buddies wanted a fry up, so I had to sit there and watch them eat it! I didnt crack though!

OMG - count me in. This is the best idea since sliced bread. I joined the 100 day challenge doing this, but it's more practical having a dedicated challenge.

My name is Pickle and I'm a lunchoholic. I must not buy any lunches out in January, and I may (very occasionally) treat myself to a bar of chocolate or something, but only on those days where lunch alone is not enough, or there are some other extra-special mitigating circumstances.

So far, so good: no lunches bought.

Whew, updated the list! Nice to see so many people joining!

Had a lovely lunch of leftover cottage pie. I hadn't been to impressed by it at dinner yesterday, but it tasted yummy at lunch time, so maybe it improved with a night in the fridge. It was a really lovely filling lunch as well, so very satisfied!

Crikey Nottoobadyet, that's very quick: I'm impressed! :T Thanks!

Today I have sweet potato with cottage cheese. Healthy & free as I already had everything - horrah!!

Special K for dinner instead of lunch.

hey I'm well impressed. Didn't buy lunch today, although didn't get any at all.... so not so good.
Was too desperate to get home in the snow and didn't want to stop. working from home tomorrow so def don't need to take lunch.
Will manage 5 days this week:T

Well my first day went well. I turned down one offer of coffee this am, another lunch and another coffee invite this pm (boy how do some people get any work done!)
Just bought 3 bottles of diet coke on way home for the rest of week (69p per 1.25 litre in coop for all the other addicts out there!)

I am really hoping this challenge will be good for the waistline also!
