going to make some low fat fruity tea loaf this weekend so I can bring a slice of that with me to work every day next week with my tea in the afternoon!

Must find a recipe for this - it'd definitely liven up the afternoon tea break!

I've been taking inspiration from the thread, some nice lunches here, so might join in with you if that's ok.

Today's food - porridge oats and water/milk, couscous with bits of bacon and roast veg, and snacks of French fries, nuts

Tomorrow's food - porridge oats and water/milk, wholemeal bagel with ham, pepperoni and salad, apple and French fries

Recipe for the fruity tea loaf is here :

I actually use a bit less sugar, and use stork instead of butter and just use mixed dried fruit rather than dried cherries and berries as they are a tad expensive! Is really delicious though. You can add some nutmeg or whatever if you wish and I made this instead of a Christmas cake (as that's a bit heavy for my liking) in December and just added some brandy and mother in law loved it - lol!!

Lunch for me today a bit dull but veggie (trying to up my veggie days) : low fat cream cheese and marmite on home made bread, with some cherry tomatoes on the side, an apple, a banana and a yoghurt, plus a slice of above-mentioned tea cake for the afternoon to see me through till dinner tonight.

Breakfast was smartprice porridge with half a cut up apple in it, cooked with water in the microwave and then some low fat plain yoghurt on the top with a drizzle of honey. Nom nom.

I feel like I eat quite a lot compared to others on here but am maintaining my weight at just under 9 stone so maybe I am burning up a fair bit of energy!

Happy lunching everyone!!

I failed today - and I have no excuse except I couldn't be [STRIKE]ar***[/STRIKE], I mean bothered, this morning so I got a sandwich from M&S when I went to get milk for work this morning. Not bad considering it is only the 2nd time this year. Back to best behaviour tomorrow.

I am working from home today so made some veg/lentil soup this morning and will have that with some bread and low fat cream cheese and some tomatoes and olives. May have a yoghurt after. Will def have a bit of fruity tea loaf this pm with a cup of tea - am a bit addicted to it currently! Or should that be currantly?! Lol!!!

Anyway, I feel so happy that every time I have lunch from home I am another small step to being mortgage free! hurrah!!!
