i am starting to make my days and segments of days as easy and as predictable as possible. because of my job, i wear the same thing to work every day. think of it like a uniform. i have six or seven sets of uniforms. i have stopped making coffee in the morning. too much time. just fill up a glass of water and grab a mixed berry nutra grain bar (strawberry is the grossest) and walk out the door. brush my teeth and shave (if i need to) once i get to work and then go throught my day and then come home. once i get home then who knows? every day is different. too many moving parts/family.
my question is what should i do for lunch? going somewhere seems like a waste because you have to drive there and then drive back and it's frought with possible human interaction. so i've started bringing my lunch. would really like to hammer down one or two things that i can just grab along with my water and mixed berry nutra grain bar on the way out the door? thoughts? what would be easy but good for me? make a bunch of rice on a sunday and then freeze in lunch bags and then grab one, bring to work and then reheat? pbj's? anyone have thoughts here, this is tough.
what's the sitch in regards to access/distance to fridge and microwave at work? pretty big detail that needs ironed out before we can possibly entertain this, imo.

Oh man. Are there any resources we could possibly leverage to help get you a decent lunch? Maybe a loving wife or a super responsible teenager? I've always felt the best meals are those made with love.

can't involve other people. that would make too many moving parts again and complicate things. needs to be done alone.
lara bars? also, the health food indian burrito things are pretty boss.
brush up on your BJIQ...

i already do a bar for bfast. bar and then bar again sounds like too many bards. idk. tell me more about these health food indian burrito things.
hot pockets and beef jerky are out. this has to be easy but also somewhat healthy. i've already lost six pounds in the last six months! ten more pounds to go for ideal weight!
Take a loaf of bread, deli meats, bottle of mayo...basically all the fixin's of your lunch to work all at once. Make the sandwich every day. You look cray cray taking an enormous grocery bag to work, but you only have to do it once every couple weeks. It is nice not having to worry about bringing your lunch every day. Running late? Who gives a crap, my turkey sandwich is already in the break room waiting to be assembled. Sandwich bag? eff no, I have my dignity!

bad amy experience? I like the indian wrap and the southwest burrito.
Pizza was pretty decent, soup/chili lacked flavor. I think I was just a bit excited after the pizza to try what else Amy has to offer and was disappointed. Now, I am going to rely on Word-of-Mouth first when dealing with her food stuffs.

I've got a nearby fridge, so I usually keepFage greek yogurt, cottage cheese, grapes, deli thins, turkey, and provolone on hand..ice cream and totino's pizza
It's a real pain when I forget to re-stock.. always feel pretty ashamed of the fast food trip at lunch..
Lean pockets are the real deal, my friend. Pretzel bread chicken and jalepeno are incredible. Just give it a shot. I think you'll really like it.Another sandwich bag industry lap dog. You have to make the sandwich in either sitch, why not do it on work time?
Also, stay the hell away from PBJ, unless you bring all the ingredients to work and make it separately (huge waste of time). I love PBJ, maybe my favorite food. BUT, if you premake them, even that mornng, get ready to have a soggy, gross PBJ.

In my experience, if J is touching ANY bread, for ANY length of time, that bread is toast*.Lean pockets are the real deal, my friend. Pretzel bread chicken and jalepeno are incredible. Just give it a shot. I think you'll really like it.

Are you storing these properly? Store with the PB on the bottom to help protect bread integrity. Still not perfect, but if you're doing it the other way this could pay huge dividends.

How about a thinner layer of PB on both sides?

All I've heard about is what sys wants to eat, like lamb and pig and stuff like that. Not what he actually eats. But I think we can rule out lamb and pig.
it's frought with possible human interaction
I would recommend becoming an alcoholic and drinking your lunch.
If you're just trying to lose weight maybe a glass of water and some rough ridin' wheat thins? :dunno:i'm a little drunk but this made me chuckle. :thumbs:
