  • I’ve failed this week dramatically - after having my impromptu day off on 08/01 I then went back to work and went out for lunch with my friends, brought lunch to work on 10/01 and then out again for lunch on Friday so I think i’m on 4/15 - won’t make the 15 in January... oh well there’s always Feb! Got lunches planned this week and I think I’m going to leave my bank card at home so I have no means of paying for lunch!

  • Day 8 for me today, mystery soup from the freezer which turned out to be a lovely spicy carrot soup, great with a cinnamon bagel :D

    I was generous with the cumin seeds when I made it, delicious :rotfl:
  • Hi folks. I love this challenge and I'm finding it's keeping me really focused. Every day I've been in my own office this month I've taken lunch. Have also managed to get my 2 adult kids to take lunch every day as well. Probably costing me more doing that but at least I know they are having good old healthy grub xx

    Worrying won't stop bad stuff from happening, it just stops you from enjoying the good.

    Day 10 tomorrow.
    We did have a team lunch out planned, but a few people are poorly so I'm not sure if we'll be going or not. I'll take a tin of soup and crackers just incase!

    Morning all!

    Just checking in, I'm 100% on track for January! I've made a sandwich or grabbed something quick at home, but not one single shop bought lunch at all!

    I finally read my Vegan on the go book, I bought that to inspire me to make better lunches but.... It's just not my cup of tea :o I'll need to have another google for stuff to make :)
  • Morning,

    List on the first page updated and I see we made the newsletter this week :D

    Some really great lunch ideas this week, some I think I will try over the next few weeks.

    Brought my lunch with me yesterday and today, so I am on track this week.

    Have a great day everyone x
