Food at work is expensive! I guess I haven’t really paid attention before, but I just realized that I spend at least $10-12 a day on food. Between $7-9 is for lunch and then I noticed that I want a snack AND/or a soda around 2 pm. Not to mention that since I started this assignment, I haven’t really had energy or desire to go on my routine walk/runs that I was going on with Mr. Fantastic. No bueno! L

So how to fix it? Well for starters, I decided to start taking my own lunch. Yay! Except, no yay…that just means I now definitely have to not only cook dinner, but I have to cook enough that there are sufficient left overs for lunch. The upside is that at least, I know what I am cooking and I can pack my own portions. Has anyone else noticed that lunch and dinner portions are humongous? Mr. Fantastic and I started sharing entrees several months ago whenever we go out to eat because it’s easy to just keep eating and not realize that you are full until it is much too late. Plus, I like to think we are romantic and not just cheap for sharing food!

Lastly, I’ve tried to get back to at least every other day walk/runs with my fantastic husband. It’s not good to gain all the weight that took forever to come off! Some of the women at the office walk together, but I feel weird about that since I am not an employee yet and I firmly believe that the people we work with are not our friends. I will have to wait and see how these tiny changes go and hopefully I will have some news regarding the permanent position soon.
