January 2014- Take Your Lunch To Work Thread.

It's still going well...tuna and lettuce wraps today with cherry tomatoes. That makes 8/16 I'm halfway to my target. Might beat it the way I'm going!

Hello all, hope your evening is going well...

. Moomin.,.I think you can count your lunch if you wfh. I usually do because the same rules apply but w2bse is the expert on these matters.

I had a lovely lunch today. My Mum met me in town and we went to a cafe. I had a goats cheese and char grilled vegetable wrap which was delicious... and Mum paid so still a LTW.:T Oh and sorry to mention chocolate cake again but we all had a second slice today... so not a bad day diet wise but not the best:) either.

I am bored of soup so I have frozen the last portion. I have salad for tomorrow with a seeded bread roll and I am really looking forward to it.

I also have done weight to lose and will have to be much stricter next week. I will have to get my thinking cap on for some healthy ideas for next week. I may have a go at making falafel myself... Mmmm food for thought... See what I did there :T:rotfl:

I'm here all week try the veal! :rotfl:

Definitely! Mooomin, do you want me to add another one? Some days i eat my LTW at home because i get home at 1pm, and i still count that as a LTW.

Oh DC, i'd say thats very restrained! I am happy to report that i have had no junk food at all today. No chocolate or crisps :T

Let me know if you think of some super healthy LTWs. All i can come up with is Soup and salad!

That looks lovely, So! Can you share the recipe please?

Yes it wasn't the worst day for food. I really do need to cut down though. Part of my problem is that I eat when I am anxious or bored and I am usually either one out the other!!! Shall see we try and support each other?

Some girls in the office are doing the 5:2 diet but that is not for me. I am doing a good old fashioned calorie reduction. I am aiming for 1500 per day max but will probably be around 1300.

Yeah I am a bit stuck on soup or salad myself. Will have a think about options.

I am happy to post what I am eating if anyone is interested. It will be nice of we can support each other.

Gammon and mushroom quiche recipe
pastry
140 g white plain flour
140g of wholemeal flour
140g of butter or margarine
Pinch of salt

Mix to a breadcrumb consistency and add water a few mls at a time until a dough is formed. Roll it out and fill your greased flan dish. Blind bake for 5 minutes while you beat 4 eggs, a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a grind of black pepper then double the amount with milk.

To your pastry case add whatever you have left over, this one had onion, spring onions, gammon mushrooms and cheese. Pour on the egg mix and bake at 180 for 15 mins then turning up to 200 for 15 mins.
That makes sure that the base is cooked properly. Then enjoy
