This post cracks me up. Prepare for the most random stories of how my lunches go. The 2019 section was typed in 2019 and was sitting in draft status. LOL
***2019***
So, as Iโm trying to live my life, lunch is a huge part of my day as far as decision making goes. Iโll start getting hungry and Iโll snack. At some point, around 11am, I have to tell myself NO MORE SNACKS, at which point my stomach turns into a whale lost at a beach and begging for attention. So, to ease the ears of my coworkers, I stroll to the kitchen for a selection of hand picked microwaveable meals.
The lean cuisine chicken enchilada suiza is probably my go to. When I have no idea, Iโm usually like hey, canโt go wrong with a good ole enchilada. Plus, in general, Lean Cuisine is pretty bomb as a meal.
If you didnโt know, I donโt cook. I also donโt prepare anything because thatโs too much work, too much timeโฆ I COULD BE BLOGGING DURING THOSE MINUTES. More than likely, Iโd be reading though.
Back to the issue โ once Iโve already taken the enchilada off the table, Iโm lost. What am I in the mood for? Usually, if I have any selections, I have no idea because theyโre all my favorites.
Youโre probably thinking, well, if theyโre all your favorites, why canโt you just pick one? Not easyโฆ Plus, what if I pick the one Iโm actually going to want to have for tomorrow and I just donโt know it yet???
Lunch life is an ISSUE, but not a big life issue, just something I live with and is one of those quirks, I guess.
***PRESENT DAY***
Today, my daily lunch at the office consists of bringing two master-crafted PB&Js that were prepared before 5am in my kitchen at home. I prefer Justin’s (the brand) honey peanut butter and Welch’s jelly in the squeeze bottle. The bread it’s on isn’t a big factor for me, but if you’re wondering, it’s usually white. I say master-crafted because they’re prepared by me and I like mine made a certain way (peanut butter on both sides, but more on one, then the jelly on the less peanut buttered slice, then I stack them and wrap them up a certain way in my Tupperware).
So that’s pretty much my lunches now because I don’t snack like I used to. I try to just drink water and eat my meals with minimal snacking. Some days I just have to though.
I’ve never used the fridge at the new building, and I’ve barely used the kitchen in general actually. I have gotten ice and water, but otherwise, I just want to be home, I guess, LOL!
I’m glad this at least eliminates the issues I had 7 years ago. Oh, how the times have changed…
So now I ask… what are your lunches like these days? Have you thought about how yours may have changed over the years? Or have they stayed the same?

P&B, yum! For me, Summer: two wholewheat wraps smeared with hummus, adorned with slices of turkey, lettuce, and bell peppers. An ounce of Swiss cheese along with a handful of pistachios serves as dessert and unsweetened tea to wash it down. These changes reduced sugar, added nutrition, and increased enjoyment.
