Ok, time to get back to the ever popular new and bumpable daily lunch special. What ever office person looks forward to starting around 9:00 or so and what helps cause many afternoon sleepy yawns. So let’s get it done and figure out what we’ll be doing for lunch. By figuring out what we’ll be eating we can be more productive! Excellent! So… me… after a weekend in Tampa to run their half marathon with my cousin, I’m pretty hungry. And of course I haven’t had my Shop and Save deli fix for about 5 days now. So I’m hoping for a couple of BLT’s and maybe a donut.

Keep in mind that we are currently getting heavy sleet/ice/snow outside, so I don't feel like venturing very far.

As I understand it (and please someone correct me if I'm wrong), but Chipotle is a chain owned by McDonald's. I've never been there, but I did hear about there. IIRC, they specialize in burritos that run in the 1200-2000 calorie range.
Oh, and my lunch will be a black bean burger and a salad. mm mm good.
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
I get the tacos or salad bowls. The burritos are way too big.
Ralph is my best work friend. We eat lunch together M-W-F, usually. The stealing checks thing works out to be even over time, it's just amusing. So while it may seem like a flirtatious relationship, it is not.

It's pretty good food, and reasonably priced. Not that I'm helping, sorry. Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
Chipotle started out as a small chain of their own that got gobbled up by the corporate demon that is McDonalds. I've never been to one myself but I've been told that the food is mediocre. 'Course, I've got access to much better Mexican if I really have a crave for it LOL

For me, mint tea, beef boullion, a blueberry Glucerna meal bar, and an apple in the afternoon. I have decided to start eating as if I am diabetic, because I'm pretty sure that's what lies ahead -- per family history -- and I might as well get used to it.

Well, it was sort of more of just a friendly card. When I had asked her out a few weeks back she said she was dating someone at the time. But that she would keep me in mind if anything happened. Interesting. So… I figured a nice card just to make her smile would be ok. Nothing overboard like a bunch of flowers or anything. Just a simple card to compliment her beautiful smile and thank her for her kindness. Cool? So while I was waiting to order she was on the other side helping other customers. She had to come over to near where I was standing to get something, said hi and wished me a Happy Valentines Day. I told her Dittos and gave her the card. She was all for me and said thank you. So I guess that went well. Until Bubba gets wind that I gave his girl a card and runs me down with his truck one night while I’m out running…..

The appeal behind 3 Hot Dogs with everything for $1? Isn’t that a great deal? Most hot dog places are way more then that. At least around here. Seems to be a $1 for a dog. And the Shop and Save deli girl is just a plus. Might have to cut back on those visits here soon though since I have a date Saturday. Cool.

I've been eating as if I were pre-diabetic lately. (Given my family history, I'm sure it's in the cards.) It's easier to keep down the glycemic index than I thought, and given that our local employee-owned Woodman's is inexpensive (Kavli @ $1.69/box, Yellowtail @ $5.99/bottle), it is easy on the budget, too.
I've also been into the cooking lately. Roasting fresh peppers, making pie and lemon bars, etc. Minimal processed sugar, lots of fresh ingredients.

Aw, thanks!
The last time I went to the doctor, they actually did test me to see if I was pre-diabetic, since I am obese and there's a strong family history of it. My sugar was ok, but that's when I decided it was time to start losing weight. It's going slowly, but it's going.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
There is also some evidence that just being on the catabolic (weight-losing, no matter what the rate) rather than anabolic (weight-gaining) side lessens many risks [unless you are already too thin. Too low a BMI means increased risks for all sorts of things, and so it is unhealthy, too].
Yay for both of us!

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
Yes; that's actually one of my two main reasons for losing weight. My father, who has been overweight most of his adult life, has had diabetes since about 30. I am, sadly, approaching 30, and have been overweight most of my adult life. So, I'm in the process of (literally) working my butt off.
Which means I eat a lot of salads and turkey sandwiches for lunch. Well, I also do that cause I'm in school and have zero time for food preparation.

Where did all this dang snow come from? It was nice last night went I went to bed. Raining a little. But then got up and don’t think I realized how much it really snowed until I was already heading out to work. Should have worked from home with all the nastiness out. So the cold and great weather have me pretty hungry. I’m thinking Chinese Lucky #`1 today. The sesame chicken Lunch Special with Pork fried rice and egg roll. Great….. now I’m making myself even more hungry.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Well, I made a pot roast in the crock pot the other night, and sort of forgot about it. It cooked all night. Hence, it came out like pulled pork. So, I tore it apart, dumped in a bottle of Dinosaur barbecue Sauce, and voila! Barbecued beef sandwiches for lunch.
Because I am on the Weight Watchers Core plan, and the beef was a loin roast, it is "free." I will use hamburger bun's and cheese for Steve's sandwiches, and Alvarado St sprouted wheat and flax bread(3 g of fiber, Megs!)for mine. Or maybe one slice of brad with some beef on top.
(I would move to Ithaca, New York for the music, and to Syracuse, New York for the Dinosaur)
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
I don't know what to have for lunch. I'm actually here for suggestions.
Elizabeth, that sandwich sounds maaaah-velous. I think I need to make a potroast. Maybe for dinner tomorrow.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Megan, barbecue sauce is "free." I think. At least I decided it was today. I will check later.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
Cool. I took your advice on declaring a few things free: apples are officially zero points for me.
In other news, I had an artichoke and mushroom sandwich for lunch today. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I'm having beef boullion, and, if that goes well, perhaps some soda crackers.
I hurt all over.
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
I had a giant bowl of steamed brocolli tossed with crumbled bacon and gorgonzola cheese and roasted red pepper salsa.
For dessert I'm eating a sliced Pink Lady apple with cracked black pepper. Pink Ladies are my favorite winter/spring apple.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Dana, my kids just discovered Pink Ladies, and they have been disappearing as fast as I buy them.
Megan, when I did WW successfully, I declared half and half and salad dressing free. There was a year when all fruit was free, so just go retro and declare all fruit free.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
Hmmm...maybe all fresh fruit but strawberries. If I declare them free, I might eat them by the metric ton.
Thanks for the advice! Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
Now if I can just find something glorious for the time between Honey Crisp and Pink Lady availibility. . .
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
No winter apple except for Granny Smiths are safe for me. Sad. I can eat fresh apples in the fall(the more sour ones), and Grannies in winter. That is it.
Megan, my sister in law taught me the salad dressing trick. I don't like salad much, and with fat free dressing? Forget it. So, in order me to fill up on healthy greens, I need my Ken's Italian. And stawberries would be fine, I bet, even if you eat a bunch. the way i figure it, think of what else you might be eating, like potato chips.

TGIF... ahhh.... Glory days. Not feeling the greatest today though. I think I hung out with one to many sick friends or co workers who had that weird cold flu thingy. So is it feed a cold starve a fever or the other way around? I’m not sure and to just be safe, I feed them both just to be sure. So I guess I’ll need to drag myself out for something interesting for lunch. Need to get some energy so I can be ready to cheer on the Mountaineers tonight against Villanova in the Big East Tournament semi final round. I’m thinking some chunky soup. Yum!

The girl I was dating told me, over the weekend, she didn’t want to go out anymore and doesn’t even seem to want to talk at all. So lunch isn’t looking to appetizing today. Maybe a couple of hot pockets.
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Sorry to hear that Jay. But good that she is telling you up-front and in your face, instead of dragging you along for months or just giving lame excuses. Kind of like ripping off the band-aid, you have to do it short and quick, and it hurts like heck for a bit, but better than long, drawn-out and excrutiating..

Chinese day today! We wound up going to Burger Death yesterday after much debate. The committee on lunch happiness made this choice which turned out to be a pretty good lunch. But Paul has to get his Chinese fix in before he moves to the other office on Monday.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
A quick ceasar salad in between demands. Romaine lettuce, which I wash, dry off, and pre-shred and keep in a bag in the fridge, Brianna's Asiago Ceasar, a dash of salt, a sprinkling of T. Marzetti's large-cut cheese and garlic croutons, and a good couple of Tbsp. of pre-shredded Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago. Not the best ever, but not the worst, and it took me 45 seconds to make, and will give me enough fat, protein, and carbs to keep me going.

Zero Point Weight Watchers Vegetable Soup and white bread.

It's very yummy soup but it feels like I've just eaten 13 pounds of rice. 10 minutes later, I'm hungry again!
I've been trying to eat what she eats because I think it grates on her that I eat whatever I want and have been 190 pounds for many years!

Tape Guy, eat lunch with her, but go away afterwards and eat a Snickers. It'll help. Just make sure to thoroughly brush your teeth and dispose of the wrapper outside the house. Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :
I'm having saurkraut and...smoked sausage. *wails* This pregnancy is turning me into a meat eater, I swear. I actually had half a cheeseburger last week.

What to eat…. There’s a few big wigs running around the office today so it might not be a good idea to go anywhere. But then again lunch could be a good excuse to get out for a bit! I’m leaning to the hot pockets that have been in the freezer here at work for a while though since it’s raining so hard….. Fun.

For lunch today, I'm having mint tea and (provided Mr. Tumnus is agreeable) egg salad with cracked black pepper on stone-ground sesame crackers. Plus a Pink Lady. (yay for pink ladies) Otherwise, there's a small serving of Butchie eggs in my future.

The soup is very good. T make it more filling, just add some chicken or rice or macaroni. I had it yesterday with fat free sour cream. it was, as they say in these parts, wicked good.

Almost Friday. Can’t wait. Yesterday was hard to be at work with all the sun and warmth. What a great run after work. I’m not sure what I’m thinking for lunch. Hot Pockets are getting boring but I’d half like to get something a little healthy. Some BLT’s would be great. Wonder if they have them at the deli today?

Have to go turn in my offer letter so I might stop and get Mexican while I’m on that side of town. Cool.

Took my mom out for fancy-pants food and wine as a very, very belated Mothers' Day gift. 'Twas quite nice even so.

Yum! I loved corned beef. Wish I was having your lunch, KQ!

I made quite interesting pasta for lunch today
Good italian durum wheat dry pasta that I tossed with tinned artichokes that I had de-tinned and marinated for a few days with italian parsley, olive oil, green chilli, white balsamic and garlic.
I just fried the artichokes a little in their marinade and added to the pasta. Yummy. Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :

Mexican! Cool. Business lunch today. Gotta love free lunches!
Posted by romanylass (Member # 6306) on :
I love free lunches too.
I had spinach salad with chicken, TJ's organic craisin/almond/cashew mix, and sesame soy ginger dressing. Yummmmmmy.

Lean pockets…… BP’s up so I guess it’s time to get serious about slimming down.

Hot Pockets. Fun. It's to hot here today anyway.... At least to hot to be stuck inside in work clothes....
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
It's lunchtime. I'm starved.
I'm broke -- and payday isn't until tomorrow.
Lunch today will be the one leftover HotPocket I have in the refrig.

Lunchtime isn't for at least another hour, and I'm alredy hungry. I've already had a couple of granola bars, and I don't want a third. Maybe I'll go raid the overpriced-but-conveniently-close-to-my-desk vending machine.

Snow Peas, Cucumbers and Red Leaf Lettuce
All from my gorgeous lil garden.

*Bump*ing thread, because today for lunch I had steak and lobster. Made it myself, and it was pretty good. So there.

Yummmm!
That's unfair. Now *I* want steak and lobster.

I'm debating at this moment whether I'm going to have lunch when I get back from class in a few hours or if I'm just going to go straight to sleep. At the moment, I think I'm favoring sleep. *yawn*

Megan's picking me up to go for sushi in just a little over two hours

Now that class is over (and I'm more or less fully awake), I've decided against sleep. Instead I ordered Domino's Pizza. Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
leftover taco soup

We went to Sweet Chilli's for lunch. It's a great restaurant - we've eaten their food about a half dozen times, and it never disappoints. They've got Indian, Sri Lankan, Chinese, and Thai, and man, they are goooooood.
The only quibble I have is that they don't have the proper spring roll sauce for the spring rolls. Instead, they bring out plain American catsup. Sacrilege, I tell you!
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Ham with mayo on white bread. No lettuce, although we had it, because I haven't washed it yet and Jeff was making the sandwich for me. (He had PB&J.) I also had some applesauce (so did Emma) and now Jeff and I are having root beer floats as a treat. Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
Apparently I'm not having Domino's. There stupid order thing must not be working again as it's been over an hour and no delivery or call or anything. I just called them and cancelled it, because I was frustrated with them (this isn't the first time this has happened). Now I debate whether I order pizza from somewhere else, or if I order out a different kind of food, or if I scrounge around the apartment for whatever may remain.
