Week 2

Since the Faux Egg Salad was not finished from last week, I had that left over for a bit this week, I also had yogurt, strawberries, baby carrots, and granola bars. Last week I was out for dinner a movie with a friend of mine who asked me what I bring for lunch, because she was out of ideas. She mentioned that she was tired of bringing a bagel with hummus, cream cheese and veggies. I told her about some of my go-tos, and then stole hers!

Monday: Faux Egg Salad, yogurt, baby carrots

Tuesday: Whole wheat hummus cream cheese bagel, with spinach and cucumbers, yogurt, strawberries

Wednesday: Peanut Butter and Jelly, yogurt, baby carrots, granola bar

Thursday: Faux Egg Salad, yogurt, strawberries, baby carrots

Friday: Hummus Cream Cheese Bagel with veggies, baby carrots, granola bar

Week 2 was a success, and another $30 in my Ireland piggy bank. I think, for next week, I will take a photograph of my lunch each day - maybe that will spice things up!

My first fail

Sadly, my first fail occurred on March 1st, the proclaimed inaugural lunch day! I made my lunch in the morning - an egg salad sandwich, a yogurt, and an apple. I even put an ice pack in my lunch, I never put an ice pack in my lunch. But I did, just because this was an important lunch. And, I left for work with my lunch still on the counter.

When lunch time rolled around I realized it was missing. A co-worker roamed into my office and asked if I needed to get lunch, because she did. I reluctantly said "yes". So we went off, to Chipotle, where I spent $8 on a veggie burrito bowl. I'm not counting this as a fail for several reasons:

1. I did TRY and make my lunch
2. I ate my left-behind lunch for dinner
3. I only ate half of my Chipotle bowl for Thursday's lunch
4. I ate the other half on Saturday, when I was at work and hungry for lunch
5. Because I make the rules and don't want to fail in week 1

Hopefully the forgotten lunch won't happen often, but if it does maybe I need to make some provisions. Keep some things at work to make an emergency lunch?

Week 1

Although, technically not March 1st, I decided to start on Monday. This was particularly easy because we had a day long meeting at work that included lunch, and my boss was kind enough to order the most delicious mozzarella pesto sandwiches for me.

Over the weekend I made a batch of delicious Faux Egg Salad, to make sandwiches. I also had greek yogurts, apples, bananas, and some granola bars to add to my lunch.

Monday: Mozzarella and Pesto sandwich

Tuesday: Left over Mozzerella and Pesto sandwich

Wednesday: Egg Salad Sandwich, yogurt, apple

Thursday: *my first fail

Friday: Egg Salad Sandwich, yogurt, banana

That's $30 to my Ireland piggybank.
