    First day of lunch to work done - and resisted the coffee shop AND the chocolate machine to have a no spend day too!

  • Hi everyone! I sort of fell off the wagon last year so can I join in again? I have a total of 17 days at work in January, so

    Can I aim for 15 days please WTBSE?

    Hope to see a lot more of you all this year :)

    My first day back in after New Year tomorrow and sandwich and fruit packed up and ready to go in the fridge :j

    Day 1 over and done with.

    I am not in an office for work and usually come home for my break -which is a huge bonus.

    Being out and about though is dangerous as its so easy to buy something. I have started to not carry cash on me which is helping as I am reluctant to use the card for a small purchase.

    Had left over pasta with pesto.

    I used to find myself buying a bag every day I was in the office (70p) but bought a box from Amazon which worked out at 60p per bag for Propercorn which is yummy and only 2 points on WW ;) If I bought bigger bags then I would just eat more :o

    This way I have treats in the cupboard for work or for taking to the cinema that don't break the bank or my diet!
