Full Week of Packing Lunch

May 8th, 2009 at 01:35 pm

Yay! I've made it through the first week of my Lunch Challange. As far as I know, my friend is packing his food today & will be on track as well.

I've managed to pack breakfasts, lunches, snacks & drinks for work. Now that I've gotten used to it again, its pretty easy Smile

Tonight I'm doing happy hour with some friends. I think we're going to a place with a free taco bar as part of the happy hour. I'm going to try to keep my spending to 1 drink and then get my free taco dinner Smile

Tomorrow should be a no spender. I'm having a movie day with friends. I'm supplying movies that I already own - The Usual Suspects and Suicide Kings. We're bringing our own snacks and just plan to enjoy each other's company. Should be a fun day!

Sunday, I'm walking in the Philadelphia Breast Cancer Walk. We have to get up really, really early to get there on time. I have to fill the car up with gas, but we're packing breakfast for the car ride & the walk organizers supply us with water & snacks there. So really, this should be a low spending weekend.

    Good for you ~ I think it makes the most sense to always pack from food from home, and once you're in the habit its easy. I liked The Usual Suspects - great ending!! Enjoy!

    yes, please do share your lunch ideas! I get free lunch at work so these ideas would be useful for my DF - who will buy something if he doesn't have leftovers.

    yum! sounds much better than whatever i have (a coffee or a cup of tea, or a juice). three days a week i work until 2pm, so i get home at 2.30, then i think 'i'm going to eat dinner in three hours, what's the point in lunch?' then the other two days i usually have a piece of toast for lunch. on weekends we usually don't have breakfast and then have brunch.
