Well it was back to work today for me, should have been back yesterday but that's another story but I still had my planned lunch yesterday and today.
Lunch yesterday was a mini wrap spread with sour cream and chive dip and some cheese.
Today I have an egg salad sandwich, tomato cup a soup and a bag of lidl s&v crisps. instead of eating it out of a lunch box I have even put it on a plate and it does feel more like a proper meal.

Hi Everyone, have updated to here.
Can I please remind you all to make sure that you are clear that you have achieved a LTW day when you post? The majority of you are, so thanksIf you don't know your number, you can just post 'ANOTHER LTW TODAY' and i'll know to add another to your tally
Sorry, I hope that doesn't come across as bossy, its just really helps me to keep everyones scores.
My LTW today was a bowl of tomato soup. I was so so hungry when I got home, I went straight into the kitchen and warmed up some soup before i'd even taken my coat off! Twas lovely!
sams- I hope you are OK and the blood test wasn't for anything serious. I hate starving ones, as soon as I know I cant eat I want to everything in sight
Shortie- That's a bargain! Wish we had those here...umm, actually best not really, I would spend a fortune!
Cathy- spiced lentils sound lovely, I would love the recipe!
Delilah- You're half way thereWell done!
Soworried-it's just the prefect weather for soup today, cold and drizzly here in Cornwall.

10/15 for me today!
Brought my slow cooker concoction from work, although I did nip out to buy some bread to go with it. I had run out so this counts toward my weekly shop.
I know bread is definitely not eating clean, but it was whole meal and made with sunflower seeds and chia seeds so super high in omega three! I am going to make some sandwiches for tomorrow and maybe the rest of this week so I can save my slow cooked meals and have a bit of variety.
I'm also going to try my hand at making meatballs either this week or next and use some of the bread for the breadcrumbs part! I want to try and recreate the Bella Italia meatballs for a fraction of the costLBM moment Nov 2013

LTW #7 please!0 -
First LTW day!
Great thread. It can be so easy as a freelancer to get into the habit of popping out for lunch when I'm on site with a client.
I went with egg mayo + sweetcorn sandwiches, carrot sticks and a fruit bar.0 -
