I'm settling into my new job and planning to start going to the gym at lunchtimes again, which I haven't been able to do for three weeks, so I really need to! I can watch what I eat but if I'm not going to the gym as well I don't think I'm likely to be losing any weight - though I have a couple of nights out this week as well so I will have to be careful!
I haven't been particularly inspired with lunches during the working week but I find it takes long enough to plan dinners let alone lunches - and my boyfriend always likes the same kind of sandwiches anyway! Does anyone have any fail-safe ideas for lunches al desko?

Sounds lovely, I like the way you plan breakfast, lunch and dinner. I struggle to just think of what to have for dinner!
ReplyDeleteI make Vegetable soup about 3 times a week. I just throw in whats left in the fridge drawer from other meals. If I've got a couple of slices of bacon left over i'll bung that in too...anything thats left in the fridge basically. Then my husband takes them to work in those microwave cup thingy's. I'll often freeze some too if i make too much x
ReplyDeleteI was always in two minds about taking dinner to work - mainly because at first there was no fridge and by dinnertime my sandwiches were warm and sometimes stale. I ended up swapping to pot noodles and cuppa soups or buying sandwiches ( which were very expensive ) When I got a new job with a fridge I just used to make a salad with leftover pasta and things like that ( oh and my own sandwiches!)
