in Introduce Yourself
As of today, I will try to have soup and bread at lunch time for the rest of the week!! Who's with me? Mini challenge to have healthier lunch. =)

Today I have had (or am still working through) Cupa Soup Golden Vegetables and half a baguette of brown seeded bread. Quite nice .. =) as the baguette was nice and warm and added little butter to it...

    ello ello!! =)

    bread seemed like a nice option as i didnt have anything for breakfast .. well.. apart from Costa Mocha! lol! and i do love my bread.. *sigh* .. i have 445cals left for the day and hope I stick within my cal allowance for the day! (any low cal dinner ideas are welcome)

    I just hope I can do this all week long rather then big meals in the canteen..

    Office job defo makes it hard as sitting most of the time and less physical activity.. xx

    This sounds like a fab idea! Have you ever thought of trying Ryvita with your soup? I know it might sound gross but its actually quite nice :-)
    I live in england too, feel free to add for support etc.....xx

    I usually do soup and a handful of pretzels for lunch. But I switched to salads for a few weeks, Started to get sick of soup.

    I always jazzed up all canned soups with some salt-free spices

    If you like tomato soup this one is delicious and only 123 calories a bowl...freezes really well too so I've frozen it into individual portions for a quick and easy lunch :)

    The cracked black pepper one is lovely! They also do a fruity one which is nice as a mid morning snack or even breakfast x

    My local shop has recently started stocking 10 different fresh soups, and I have become slightly addicted... nice to see I'm not the only one! Wild mushroom, or leek and potato are my favourites.

    I use snack a jacks rice cakes to dip in mine, works surprisingly well!
