2011 Bring-a-Bag-Lunch-to-Work Challenge

[mauimagic]

Not only am I planning on bringing my lunch to school everyday, I am also bringing all snacks - if I don't bring it, I don't eat it!!

Yesterday I brought 1/4 of a sub sandwich and celery sticks

Today I brought the same plus cucumber slices with HM TIsland dressing.

Coffee - I make every morning at work!!

Have manicotti in the freezer there..think that's it tomorrow.

Thanks MM for starting this thread! I brought my lunch the last few days, today I had homemade chicken greek pasta salad. I'll be having it tomorrow as well, seeing as how I made a huge batch and it's only me eating it! I had 2 clementines and some pretzels today as well.

I have brought a lunch every day this year so far!

Monday-black bean/mexican tomato mixture on a whole wheat tortilla

Tuesday-leftover shredded beef on a whole wheat bun

Wednesday-leftover weeknight chicken and pasta w/ one slice homemade white bread

Thursday-leftover taco meat (homemade taco seasoning) with lettuce, diced onion, tiny bit of shredded cheese, and a whole wheat tortilla

I, too, have brought lunch every work day of this new year thus far. And as a creature of habit, it was the same thing:

~organic spinach and greens mix
~grilled chicken (I marinate a bunch, cook it up, chop it up, and put in the freezer)
~a little shredded cheddar cheese
~some cucumber chunks
~a bit of Salad Toppins
all topped with an low fat asian dressing

and a diet soda on the side

yummo!

We just returned to work on January 5 So yesterday I had leftover chicken and rice. Today, I didn't have any lunch (was running late this morning and forgot it at home - then injured myself at home on way to work and lunch was no where on my brain as I was dealing with bloody knees lol)

Tomorrow is Friday so for lunch I am going to feel young at heart and have a good ol' peanutbutter and jelly sandwich! lol I don't care how old I get, I still enjoy a good old PB & J from time to time I'll prolly take some cucumber slices and not sure what else yet And I drink water when I'm at work

I love this challenge did it last year. I have packed my lunch 4 days so far this month.

Didn't do the manicotti...had it had home tonight with garlic bread..didn't feel good today so just toast..this cold is getting the best of me and the weather isn't helping. Coffee ... forgot about the water.

Oh, I'm in for this challenge. I eat the same sandwich, chips, and pop from home every day for lunch. Hopefully when my schedule slows down and I don't have to shop while I'm eating lunch, then I can take more leftovers and relax in the break room. We'll see!

I love this challenge, as it's not really a challenge for me. It's what it is, and I'm happy to report that I've convinced my co-worker how much money she saves by not eating out!
