I may be asking for the impossible but can anyone suggest healthy packed lunch ideas? At my new job, the staff and children bring a packed lunch and eat together. I'm limited because #1 they don't have a microwave.:rolleyes: :eek: so I can't heat up left-over dinners (new industrial kitchen and apparently you can't have any old microwave or else I'd donate one myself!). #2 I really am not overly fond of sandwhiches. Least not sandwhiches that have been made hours before they're eaten (bleh!).
So I need ideas for nice lunches that can be eaten cold or room temp. The only thing I can think of is a cup of packet soup (made with the kettle) and salad. I do love salad but every day may get a bit old. Plus I do like a bit of a hearty lunch. I'm not one of those 'let's have a light lunch' type of people. Even when I do have salad,it's generally loaded with grilled chicken, some bacon and boiled egg.:blush:
I do think that I may be able to finally shift those 2 pesky stones once I start working away from home. I realize that my weight issues began when I started childminding but also coincides with Depo, being ill, birth of 4th child, lots of things that together contributed to the gain but certainly not helped with me being home and picking and grazing all day.
I'm pleased I've been able to maintain the 12 stone mark and my ultimate goal is 10 stone. But for now I just want to concentrate on getting to 11stone.
