November 2013-Take Your Lunch To Work Thread

juno

Days two and three done!

Today everyone was having bacon sandwiches, but I resisted - it was quite easy because they had them sorta between breakfast and lunch and I wasn't really hungry.

Thank you!! And massive congratulations on a new client_party_... That's great news!!!!

I had cheese, beetroot relish and lettuce sandwiches today, two quorn balls and two hm cheese straws. Bit better than yesterday but someone lent us a portable heater foot the day so wet weren't freezing for a change.

Still thinking about tomorrow... Possibly tuna but not sure :cool: I have my snacks ready to go though.:rotfl:

Breakfast and dinner in work today and no caving to the jacket potato and beans lure of the work canteen.:rotfl:

Well done SM I love a nice jacket potato, especially this time of year!

2/10 for me today although I nearly caved in as not feeling very well and the thought of popping to the shops was tempting.... but I resisted!

Hi all
Another 1 for me today. I had pitta filled with ham, salad and sweet chilli sauce.
Also a packet of salt and vinegar crisps and a mars bar..oops! Thats not going to help with the diet is it!

I will keep my fingers crossed that you get more clients w2bSE...I'm sure things will build up slowly but surely!

Day 4 for me today. Took a toasted tuna sandwich that I microwaved at lunchtime... It was OK but I am not in a rush to take another one!!

Thinking about tomorrow's lunch now.

3/10 in the bag for me now - this is definitely helping me to not be so lazy in the mornings, its all too easy to sort out the kids and buy something for myself.... but not anymore

Hi All, have updated you

I have a guilty secret...as well as taking my lunch to work, i have also been trying to start taking my breakfast to work.
I used to stop off at tesco most mornings and get a diet coke/lucozade and a cereal bar. I'd buy a box of cereal bars for £1.99 and a bottle of lucozade for £1.15.
The cereal bars would only last a day, as i'd munch on them between clients and the kids would finish them off at home.
I know, silly me!

So, this week i have bought 1 box of cereal bars (i need the energy between clients, and am often in a rush) and only ate 1 a day (for brekkie) and left the rest in the car (so the kids cant munch on them).

I have also been filling up a big bottle with orange squash that i make in the morning from home.

So, thats my guilty secret-as well as eating lunch out, i also ate breakfast!

Woohoo, week one (five days) completed! :j

I have breakfast at work, too. I have porridge and I add a small box of raisins (I get the Fruit Factory ones in a box of 12, where you get a selection of "raisins and apricot", "raisins and sultanas" and "raisins and apple") or occasionally I will have a cereal bar which I tend to buy from B+M.
