Lunch Log Challenge 2008

Naomim

Hi All,

I hope y'all had lovely weekends and didn't melt?

I spent 0.99p today on my loaf of bread for the week and that's it for my lunches for July so I am declaring at £15.04 for July.

Well...it hasn't been a good month for me lunch log wise but I have spent less than I would have without the lunch log so I guess every little helps. I would like to declare for July at £46.90 and throw my hat in for the August challenge.

Well done Naomi!

HIya all; I have't posted on here for a while but am pleased to report that since my returrn from holiday on the 8th July I have brought in lunch every day. Albeit I had two days with buttered breadcakes and a packet of out of date Salt and vinegar crisps (which I hate!) but no fruit etc.

Todaya dn tomorrow is left over chicken in a sald, orange juice, a banana and a snack size time out to stop me hunting for more expensive chocolate!

Welcome back! Just in time for August :j

Good idea about the snack size chocs. If I had them at home though they'd all be gone in a nano-second I do buy far less chocolate now than I used to. I used to have a bar a day but I rarely do now, not noticed any weight loss though :doh:

Welcome back Peb. I have been avoiding chocolate and ice cream as part of my weight loss efforts. If I start I just can’t stop scoffing them so I’ve gone cold turkey except for an occasional bit of my husband’s diabetic chocolate (he has to hide it from me!).

I was feeling a little sad about having declared at £46 odd – it seemed awfully high. But then I remembered that £20 of it was for the lunch out when my colleague left – that won’t happen regularly and though £26 is still on the high side – it’s not that bad. J

Also am feeling pleased with myself today because I forgot to bring in my lunch but thanks to some advance planning, I have an emergency tin of Weightwatchers tuna and a cup a soup in my desk drawer. Plus bread in the fridge. So NSD today too. J

First thing that popped into my head when reading the title of this thread.

Did anyone watch the Channel 4 Dispatches programme on the sandwich industry last night?
scary stuff!

All this talk of lunch and sandwiches makes me hungry

Im a bit of a latecomer to this MSE forum board.

Could really use a "Give up chinese & take-away curries (and take-away in general) support group" - at about £14 a pop for me and Mrs Doomcow, at least 3 or 4 nights a week (not really many by my choice), it fair mounts up...

Hi :hello:

It makes me hungry too which is why I tend to read it as I'm eating! :rotfl:

I could do with joining the give up take-aways board too although me and Mr.M have drastically cut down on what we used to have. I now try to make it all myself but it never tastes the same :rolleyes: He's a lazy boy anyway, if I'm out for the night it's takeaway pizza for him :mad:

Anyway waddled OT there! lol

Hope everyone else is doing ok this week?

Afternoon all,

Did we all have a good weekend? Get our weekly shop and lunches in?

I made chicken soup yesterday and was planning to have it for two lunches this week. However I've just had a bowl and it was yuk :mad: I don't think I can face having it again First time I've made it so it obviously needs some tweaking :rotfl:

It's been a NSL for me today as I brought in the the minging soup and yoghurts and fruit from home also some bagels, salmon (cheap trimmings from Mr.T's) and cream cheese so I think I'm more or less sorted for the week. :T
