The Lunch Challenge – Week #3

So I’m into Week #3 of bringing my lunch to work, and it’s going well. I sometimes have the urge to just go out and grab Subway or a burger or something, but it passes. And it gets easier. Still, it’s sometimes hard when most people in the office go out to buy their lunch every day.

Right now, I’m eating a piece of fruit in the morning (around 11am), lunch around 1:30pm, and another piece of fruit and a granola bar around 3:30pm. Then I get hungry again around 5:30-6pm, but that’s about when we have dinner anyway.

I also used to get french vanillas from Tim Horton’s or from the 7-Eleven, but I don’t anymore. Along with not going out for lunch, I’m also not buying snacks either. No matter how delicious they are, the calories in those drinks are absolutely outrageous. The only time I do get them is if we’re grabbing breakfast at Tim’s super early in the morning before we start a long hike. That way, I can justify it. I’m consuming a lot of calories for breakfast which I don’t normally do, but I’ll be burning a million times more than that over the weekend. :)
