Leftover salmon teriyaki fillet with couscous and broccoli today! Had another terrible urge for takeaway coffee and an iced bun - cravings are unbelievable at the moment, I am eating any rubbish food in sight :-(((( but managed to resist.

Hope everyone's doing well

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I know what you mean! I work next door to Mr McD's and the temptation to get a takeaway coffee and bun presnts itself to me all the time!
Managed 5/5 HM lunches this week and only 1 TA coffee+blueberry muffin.:D

Hi everyone this sounds like a good idea, I know its a bit late but can I join. I need to organise breakfast, lunch and lots of coffee. I think I will aim for the rest of the month being good.

Finally managed to book a few days off, which whill make a difference, as I shall be at home spring cleaning and eating from the fridge! I need to aim for all three days this week, or I won't make my target!

Leftovers..... beef slow-cooked in red wine, herbs and garlic, with mashed spuds. Yum.

Bit late in the month but I'd like to join too please.

Just returned to work from maternity so trying to save every penny possible (and be healthy)

Would like to be no spends at all.

Only work Saturday and Sundays (and Friday night but no lunch needed as its a short shift) so hopefully shouldn't be too hard!

Amazing to read about people's imaginative lunches - I fell off the wagon with a bought cheese and tomato toastie on Friday (I was on the road and hadn't got myself organised enough) but today I'm right back in harness with a yumptious ham salad, yoghurt, fruit (including a pink grapefruit which is a bit weird for desk-side eating but is nice and refreshing) and mini pack of biscuits nicked from the meeting room <glow of free lunch smugness>. I find it helps to have a big tasty tea planned so that if you do get a bit peckish mid-afternoon you know you haven't got long to wait and can RESIST THE EVIL VENDING MACHINE.
