bring my lunch to work.

...and I haven’t brought my lunch (or breakfast) even one single time this week.

I should be flogged. I suppose being BROKE will have to be punishment enough…

Argh – I was doing so good, too. I need to hoist myself back up onto the wagon.

...oooohhhh, today was Awesome! Hubby made me grilled salmon for dinner last night – and he made enough for me to bring to work for today and tomorrow! Grilled lemon pepper salmon and a baked potato… Lunch was Heaven! If every day was like this, I don’t think I’d mind never dining out for lunch again… Okay, well maybe.

But you know what I mean!

I’ve about run out of snacky foods in my desk drawer… I had an apple, but it has gotten icky and I ate my yogurt for breakfast. I also am out of green tea at home and at work.

Sigh.

And I’m hungry. Right now.

I’m thinking I’m going to have to give in to a tuna wrap and brown rice and stop and get a green tea. There’s about $8 right there.

Argh.

Yesterday was a fiasco…

I bought breakfast (smoothie, $4).

I bought lunch (wrap & brown rice, $6)

I stopped at the gas station for green tea and a donut ($2)

Pop from the office ($0.50)

That crap adds up fast!

So, today, I didn’t have time to pack a lunch… but I managed! Out of the fridge I grabbed a cucumber, a tomato, two left-over biscuits, and a green tea. All accompanied by an apple and a pack of cheesy crackers. Looks like I’ll be knoshing all day… but I Am Not Buying Food Today.

So there.

Brought lunch today… AND breakfast! Yummy, yummy, yummy… And I’m feeling really positive about it… didn’t feel like a sacrifice yesterday or today…

Got the lunch packed and taken today… and breakfast, too! Yummy! Jewish rye, swiss, spicey brown mustard, onion and a couple of roma tomatoes… my breath should ensure that I get left alone and can get a lot done at work today! Ha! I did stop and get green tea and a cup of coffee on my way in this morning… and a granola bar and a pack of cheese crackers… but hey, I brought lunch!

Seeing as how I left my bag at home today, I have no option of buying lunch out! Yikes! Of course, I don’t have any lunch with me, either. So I’m eating the trail mix bars out of the bottom drawer of my desk and some cheese cubes that I had in the fridge from last week. Sigh. It might not be much, but is healthier than Taco Bell and it’s cheap and, technically, it was brought from home!
