Day 4 - Lunch Challenge


My original plan to have leftover Crispy Honey Chicken didn't go as planned.  I wasn't that crazy about it and it didn't settle well with me.  It was one of the gals birthdays this week so we ended up having all types of food and cupcakes.  Pictured above is a delicious buffalo chicken dip that someone made I had with a few Tostitos Scoops.  I also had some fruit and a salad too, which I did not take a picture of.  I am getting the hang of not going to the cafe.  I don't even bother looking at the menu as it might be tempting.

Day 3 - Lunch Challenge


Today I had another modified version of the Lunch Bundle.  I added turkey and blueberries to it.  It was very yummy.  As you can tell,I don't mind eating these regularly.  Tomorrow I am going to try to change it up a little bit and have something different for lunch, even though I'm not sick of eating those.  It would be good for me to change it up a little bit though.  I might have some leftover Crispy Honey Chicken, and fruit.
Next week my plan for lunch will be to bring some leftovers from dinner the night before.

Day 2 - Lunch Challenge



Day 2 of my lunch challenge went well.  I was busy so I didn't have a "real" lunch so I ended up splitting my lunch into two parts.  I had another Lunch Bundle, but modified it slightly.  This one is called the Bagelator.  It consists of bagel chips, cream cheese, granola, fruit & chocolate mix and an creme filled chocolate cookie (which I didn't eat).


For the first part of my lunch I had the bagel chips and cream cheese from the Lunch Bundle.  I added a few Tostitos Black Bean & Garlic Chips and a few Eat Your Vegetables Chips.  Some of the Lunch Bundles have the Eat Your Vegetables Chips in them, but the Bagelator does not.  I like the veggie chips so much that I found them at the supermarket near us.


About two hours later I finished my lunch with the remainder of the Lunch Bundle sans the creme stuffed chocolate cookie.  I added the granola, fruit & chocolate and a splash of Torani Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup to  Light & Fit Greek Yogurt.

Day 1 - Lunch Challenge


Day 1 Lunch Challenge = Success!

I have found a new favorite product at the grocery store.  It's called Lunch Bundles.  Everyone in the house is eating these.  My husband and I bring them to work sometimes and my kids have been eating them too.  Sure...I could buy all of the ingredients and assemble something like this myself but the likelihood of that happening is pretty much zero. 


This Lunch Bundle has gluten free crackers, pistachios, a fruit & chocolate trail mix, sliced cheese and a vegetable chip.
It didn't have lunch meat, so I added a few slices of turkey and a handful of blueberries to round out this yummy lunch.

Thirty Days of Lunches

Tonight I decided that I am going to start a challenge for myself.  I'm going to bring my lunch to work for thirty days.  I am constantly buying lunch at the cafe at work.  It would be so much healthier for me to bring my own lunch, plus I would save some $$.  I will try to post my lunches as often as I can.
