  • I've managed 5/18 so far this month. Had 1 day last week where I hadn't brought my lunch in to work so won't reach my target of 18 days unless I get some overtime in!

    6 days back at work now & 6lunches taken

    I confess to cheating in as much as taking tinned soup everyday, but baby steps n all

    Next week will be more challenging as am going back to salad which means the effort of preparation.......hmmmm

    Day 6 completed

    I took soup again but I felt hungry so I had a slice of bread with it as well. I'm going to make a quiche tomorrow for Monday and Tuesday.

    Well I managed to take lunch in everyday last week so I'm now up to 7/22 :j I also resisted getting anything from the vending machine or buying a coffee so I'm doubly proud of myself.

    My dry January is also going ok, although I could have done with a large glass of wine on Friday night as work was hard going last week!

    Off to the supermarket later....think I'm going to try couscous next week with feta, tomatoes, olives and cucumber, although to add a bit of variety I'll try taking leftovers on a couple of days.

    Good luck everyone for this week :)

    Good Evening LTW'ers!

    Updated to here :)

    My LTW tomorrow will be leftover Mackerel & Rice Salad. Yummy, that'll stink the car out nicely! Betcha glad i dont work in your office ;)

    I am slacking, i haven't done my meal plan for the week yet. I'll do it tomorrow instead, after work.
    I am planning on FQ's Lunchsize Sausage Rolls at some point this week too, probably Wednesday to coincide with running out of PL stuff for my youngest son, so he can take 1 in his PL :)
