2. Pack lunches more often, atleast 4 times a week.
I carried a lunch my whole grade school life. In elementary school I attended a Catholic school which a boxed lunch was required, there were no lunch ladies, the only thing you got was milk. Chocolate or white. I mostly opted for white as the chocolate tasted too chalky. Once I got to middle and high school I don’t remember bringing lunch ever again. The $1.10 for chicken tenders, meatloaf, tatter tots and a drink was worth it.
Maybe this is where my idiot ways of packing lunch came about. I’m horrible at it. I’m horrible at packing left overs, eating my lunch before lunch time and snacking way too much. I’m doing my best to turn over a new leaf on this one. Snacking, especially on M&M’s, Dorittos and such, is BAD! The other issue is commuting with a box lunch it all ends up rather mixed up, smushed and flattened. The need for more tupperwear, a better carrying device and planning is my going to be the choice attack method.
On my list of things I must acquire.
The super duper Ergon BC-3 backpack. Ergonomic, tons of room, storage, separation and wait- it’s comfortable I hear. My hope of gaining Ergon as a sponsor for 2009 means this pimp-tastic commuter bag will be in my mail box one day.
Plastic, drop proof Tupperwear. Do you think they would be interested in sponsoring a dubious commuter in her goal of better health and a greener way of life?
A new pint glass. How much better would my FRS drink for lunch taste in a frosty Twin Six pint glass?
I have a friend that thinks it’s demeaning bringing a sack lunch. Like bringing a sack lunch would be regressing to the days when he was young and had no money. I would weigh 300 lbs eating out every day though…it’s just not healthy. I like knowing what’s in my lunch and controlling the portions. Plus I can eat it at my desk, and go riding at noon instead!
