    I have a half day at work, off at 12:30, so no packing today. Lunch will be at home :smile:

    That homemade bowl sounds good. I knew I was going to busy today so I just brought some watermelon and a granola bar for lunch.

    Today I brought some almonds and watermelon. I need to check the fridge though because I think I may have something else in there to eat.

    So a little change of plan. I am still eating my watermelon but the vegetable beef soup from the cafeteria smelled so good that I got a bowl of that. At least the hospital provides the calories for all of the food it puts out so I know eactly what I am eating.

    Nice! I wish I had a cafeteria at work. Are you a nurse?

    Today I'm having a FlatOut wrap with ham, lettuce, tomato and vinaigrette.

    I failed for today. I brought lunch to work and did not eat it because the cafeteria had chili today which is really good so I ate that instead. I at least packed a lunch for today even if I didn't eat it. :happy:

    Jessica, having a cafeteria at work is really nice sometimes. I love that they have a menu and list all of the nutritional values so I can make an informed choice. I'm not a nurse, I'm a medical student.

    Same thing today. I will probably have to mix it up next week if I don't want to get bored! Anybody have any good ideas for changing up sandwiches? I do the usual turkey and cheese, strayed a little a few weeks ago and did a turkey bacon BLT with light mayo and avocado, but got bored of that too. I like sandwiches, but I will usually revert to lean cuisines or something when I run our of ideas. I would prefer to pack a fresh lunch though. It can just be hard to have multiple types of sandwiches in the same week.

    We must have been thinking the same thing today. I also brought a salad but mine was pretty boring, lettuce, shredded carrots, green peppers, diced ham and ranch dressing. I also brougt two leftover cheese sticks.

    Salad again today for me. Your lunch sounded good yesterday so since I had a salmon fillet in the freezer, I baked that last night and added it to my salad.

    I'm really liking this bring my own lunch every day. I've been able to think of some different things to eat and I end up eating better than if I just grab something quickly at work.

    Once again...salad for lunch. Today it is romaine lettuce, green peppers, shredded carrots, diced ham and ranch dressing. Kind of boring but it's good and at least I remembered to pack something.

    Peanut butter and jelly for lunch. I got home late last night and didnt feel like doing anything more involved this morning than slapping two pieces of bread together. I did use all natural pb tho, sugar free raspberry jelly and ezekiel bread.
