Lunch Time

I've been staying up too late, lingering in bed too long, and rushing around in the morning trying to get everything together. I still managed to make my lunches, but my mornings were more stressful than they needed to be. A million points to me for eating a salad every day.


Spicy Penne Alfredo
First Break: Chocolate almond milk, banana.
Lunch: Spicy penne Alfredo, salad with balsamic vinaigrette, honey Greek yogurt, blackberries.
Second Break: Mixed nuts, dried fruit, apple.

I was so glad that I froze some of the pasta I made a couple of weeks ago, because I was just able to throw it in the lunch bag. It acted as an ice pack as it thawed. I ate my salad first and heated the pasta in the same bowl.


Lasagna
First Break: Chocolate almond milk, banana.
Lunch: Lasagna, salad with balsamic vinaigrette, honey Greek yogurt, blackberries.
Second Break: Apple, orange, string cheese.

Coming off of tech week and opening weekend, Monday night was my first free night in awhile, and it felt like I had a ton of extra time. So I ended up making lasagna. It was a small batch, made in a loaf pan, and was chock full of veggies.


Tuna and Avocado
First Break: Chocolate almond milk, banana.
Lunch: Tuna and avocado, salad with balsamic vinaigrette, orange.
Second Break: Mixed nuts, dried fruit, apple.

Not much to say here. I'm still really enjoying the tuna and avocado combo. I just need to remember to sprinkle some lemon juice on my avocado so it doesn't oxidize quite as much by lunch time.


Salad
First Break: Chocolate almond milk, banana.
Second Break: Veggies and hummus, orange.
Supper: Salad with black beans, hard boiled egg, string cheese.

Thursday we had box lunches from Subway provided by work. I had to go directly to the theatre after work, so I used the extra room in my lunch bag to take dinner. I was a little worried that the salad wouldn't be enough to get me through the show, but with the added protein and fat of the egg and cheese, it was fine. There may have been a little backstage snacking on Twizzlers and Sour Patch kids as well.


Friday was another potluck, but luckily this one was upstairs so I wasn't tempted to graze all day.


Next week, I'm switching things up a bit. I'll be eating my lunch during the first break so that I can walk in the park most of the lunch hour.
