The Daily Balance

Per usual, I packed my lunch today and was excited to dig into it all morning.

When I finally did, it was just as delicious as I’d hoped:

Yummy salad

In the mix:

• Mixed field greens
• Tomatoes
• Chickpeas
• Sliced turkey
• Cheddar cheese
• Chopped almonds

It was extremely flavorful and so satisfying! I enjoyed this salad along side a colorful, crisp bowl of red grapes. It kept me going through the afternoon until I just (at 4:45; more than 4 hours later!) noshed on some cottage cheese.

I have to stay at the office until about 8:30 tonight and the Mister told me dinner is “taken care of.” I’m excited to see what he has up his sleeve for me!

Do you typically ‘brown bag it’ or eat out for lunch?

   I’m definitely a brown bag kinda gal! I love my homemade lunches, although once a week I treat myself to something out…a Subway veggie sandwich, or a BIG salad from an awesome salad bar usually!

   I always bring lunch to work. It’s just second nature at this point. It’s faster, cheaper and healthier.

   I try to pack my lunch, but normally I end up going out and getting lunch. The allure of sushi and funky sandwiches always get me. I definitely need to pack my lunch more!
