Back to work already? Geez, the weekend just got here. Oh well. Let’s start it smart with Health Tip #9. Here it is:
Pack a lunch.
It’s not just better for our waistlines. It’s better for our pocketbooks too.
You don’t need to get fancy. You don’t even need a fridge at work. The basic peanut butter and jelly sandwich with an apple will last for days. Want to make some friends? Pack an egg salad sandwich. We at The Diet Joke love egg salad sandwiches. And tuna, too! Peanut butter and banana? Delish. Our favorite? Not so much now, but when we were a kid? Bologna and ketchup! Oh man, those were the days.
And yes, bologna and ketchup isn’t the healthiest thing on the planet, but put it on some serious whole-grain whole-wheat bread and it’s better than fast food. Fill up your water bottle instead of hitting the soda machine, and man, are you saving money now, not to mention calories.
The trick to packing lunches? Try to do it the night before. Just about anything we plan to do in the morning before we go to work is likely to fall by the wayside.
