Lunch Box Challenge

I read about this at The Happiest Mom, and I think it may just give me the motivation that I need to pack my own lunch (I already have to provide Baguette’s food for day care). So how did I do today?

Baguette:

  • Sliced peach
  • Pasta salad (whole wheat pasta, black olives, red bell pepper, spinach, mushrooms, balsamic vinaigrette)
  • Biscuit
  • Strawberry breakfast bar

Me:

  • Pasta salad
  • Peach
  • A frozen lasagne lunch that I bought at Trader Joe’s last week, which was already in the freezer at work

Here’s the trick: I really also need to pack breakfast for myself, because I don’t have time to eat until I get to work. My usual work breakfast is a grilled cheese sandwich from the deli in our building, but even that adds up as the days progress. So for this to work, I really need to plan more. A lot, in fact.

Wish me luck.
