I have packed a lunch for every cafeteria lunch break, and I think I have made a different one every day since. Yay for variety, and simple food, and healthy cooking!

How to pack my own lunch
It made me
wiser
 "Packing my own lunch and snacks was a great goal to set and achieve, as it helped me manage my nutrition like never before."
How I did it: By creating a big plan first - looking at a whole month, then breaking up into weeks - then micro-planning each day. The P90X nutrition plan was a great asset, structuring each day. Lessons & tips: Dont think it's a minor investment of your creativity. It's your food for your body, so that you can do the things you do in life longer :) Resources: www.beachbody.com - the P90X program, www.calorieking.com - for reference of the nutrition value of food outside the plan food scale to learn the size-weight ration and train the eye

When I decided to go running regularly, I bought running shoes. Same for yoga pants for yoga, gym shoes for Thai bo, pretty sheets for more and better sleep.
For packing my own lunch, it was a bento box…it´s pretty and I definitely want to use it! I downloaded a bunch of recipes for rice and pasta salads, and I´m thinking about other healthy stuff like trail mix, some olives or some fruit. I can always get a bowl of soup from the cafeteria if I feel the need for something warm :)

I am working on this goal, as proper diet is an important part of the work-out routine I hopped on. It makes lunch one of the opportunities to fuel with the necessary nutrients. I dont make a “cult” of it, being quite flexible and non-legalistic about my choices, but I notice how my body responds with energy lever keeping high and strength for the tough workouts.
Own lunch is not just a money saver, it’s a treat :)

A solution that I came up for now is to bring the small hand-held blender to the office kitchen and whip up mixed shakes for lunches. I let others use it, too, so it’s creating more interaction with the colleagues, which I am also enjoying. :)
