#Lunchbox motivation!
avril 22, 2014
Ask
any teacher what their favourite part of the workday is, and many of them will
answer lunch! It’s a time to unwind, catch up with colleagues, and, of course,
eat! In my opinion, lunch HAS to be delicious and nutritious. Honestly, for
years, I was bringing the same old sandwich to work. I never knew how
depressing that was until a colleague of mine, who always had amazing lunches,
said: “I have to have a good lunch, or else there’s nothing to look forward to
in my workday.” It’s like she flipped a light switch in my brain. A good lunch
= motivation and happiness!
In
the last two years, my lunches have been the object of admiration of my
colleagues, and I’m filled with pride! Working in a school, lunchtime is
limited to a maximum of 50 minutes. Our choices are also limited in terms of
what to eat: the cafeteria is now free of French fries and soda (good) but cold
pizza and the tiniest portion of salad is not what I call motivating.
What’s
for lunch today? I prepared a BIG GREEN SALAD: arugula, cherry tomatoes,
cucumber slices, avocado, and chia seeds. I don’t really like store bought
dressing (usually because I’ll end up pouring the entire bottle,) so I use
olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Then there’s a mini V8, some pieces of
cantaloupe and a vanilla yogurt. It might not look like much, but a heavy lunch
is never a good idea. I can never work properly when I eat heavy because all I
want to do is sleep! Total prep time: 20 minutes. It may seem like a lot, but when
I think about how excited I’ll be to eat the next day, it’s all worth it. Down
with boring lunches! What are you having today? Make it a good one :)
