Lunchmeat...

i HATE making my own lunch. Like really hate it. I'm too tired in the morning to think about what I'm going to eat hours later, and I've had a history of ditching my "healthy sandwich" for a much much more appetizing Chipotle burrito, $10 salad that never tastes that good, or burger/sandwich/wrap/something more tasty than what i brought, from a nearby midtown manhattan establishment.

My co-workers at my old job were terribly bad influences on me. Every day i'd wake up with good intentions, put together a simple, but delicious, pb&j, and a few snack items, and head to work. But, by lunch time, someone had always suggested we go out - spend some $$ on something more expensive, and seemingly more tasty. And with that, my wasteline and wallet went to ... crap.

I'm trying to conquer my fears, and hatred, of bringing my own lunch - and so far, have done a pretty good job. Snacking throughout the day has been very helpful too -- one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. I've chosen from apples, bananas (which i found out have more than 200 calories! ouch!), almonds, yogurt, and small bags of popcorn.

My lunches have ranged from simple salads, to delicious wraps -- it's all about making things delicious... and simple!

Today's menu:
snack: 99% fat free Key Lime yogurt -- omg, SO GOOD
lunch: wrap with smoked turkey, low fat swiss cheese, onions, arugula, and a few small dallops of caesar dressing... YUM! it tastes really good, and it's not bad for me!
snack: Apple.

What's for dinner? Not sure yet - but I'm thinking some baked chicken with tomato sauce, or a turkey burger.. and some salad.
