So much for OBLOAFA* plan! Quite apart from my weekend activities (of which more anon), I was going to get on with things this week. I have failed to do so. There was a plan, and it related to lunches. You see we get free lunches in the canteen. This is good, because free food! But bad because free fattening food! I'm eating 5-600 calories a day in lunches. So the plan was as follows:
1) Buy lower fat lunch alternatives that I can prepare in our minimally equipped kitchen (toaster, kettle)
2) Eat breakfast at work, thus still getting some free food! benefit
3) Eat said alternatives for lunch
Step 1 went fairly well and I got a selection of pasta pot type items to warm me up over the autumn and winter lunchbreaks (any other suggestions welcome, btw). Step 2 I failed at this morning, because I was very low in my "on the case" levels so I ended up starving 20 mins ago and went for biscuits. And step 3 is looking doubtful because I have forgotten to bring the cunningly purchased items from step 1 to work with me!
On the other hand, I did come in in the car today (naughty, but compensation to self for not so great night) so I could drive over to Sainsbury's and get something healthy. It feels like hassle but I probably should make the effort.

Date: October 1st, 2007 08:09 pm (UTC)From:I pack a hot lunch for at least one and sometimes two every day - for example, tomorrow everyone is getting home-made pea soup, an egg salad sandwich, carrot sticks, a few anchovy-stuffed olives, and a single hob-nob. I preheat the thermos with boiling water ( shared from the a.m. tea or coffee making), slap the soup on the cooker to heat it, and prepack everything else the night before.
But it's the kit that makes the difference. And a good lunch bag. Takes very little time because it's a routine centred around the utility of the containers, which are always the same.
Good luck, though, i know you'll crack this one.
