Breakfast is easy because I literally eat the same thing every single day. Dinner is always planned out for the week so I always know what I'm going to make. Plus, I plan dinner with the whole family in mind, not just me. Dinner always tends to fall to the same pattern: Salad, Veggie, Carb, Lean protein, in some form or another. But lunch... lunch is hard for me. I work from home, so I don't have to pre plan this meal. Also, I'm the girl that ate peanut butter on whole wheat pita for 2 1/2 years every day when I did work at an office. Well, that and a salad. I never got sick of it, nor could I ever get sick of it, but in the name of clean eating that's not the best option. Plus, I workout after lunch, so it's an important meal. I'm usually too busy to actually cook something, sometimes I'm too busy to throw ingredients into a bowl for a salad or wrap. What usually works best for me is to cook something and eat it all week, but sometimes I get sick of that too!
So here are my goto lunch ideas WIAW style:
Hop on over to peas and crayons for tons of other WIAW'ers to see some yummy eats and to get the scoop on how WIAW works!

 |

| La Tortilla Factory wraps... Ahmazing! Grilled chicken greens, salsa, jalapenos. | I also love this wrap with egg whites and salsa |

| Turkey muffins (all in one lunch)... Turkey, sweet potato, flax |
My foot is still bothering me, I did plyo yesterday and it hurt a little, but no running. That definitely hurt it. I'm stubborn so I'll give it another go today. Other than that, I've got back and biceps and abs today!
I'm off to eat lunch!
