I’m excited to tell you about Easy Lunch Boxes….

The super sweet Kelly Lester, CEO of Easy Lunch Boxes and a busy mom on the go, sent me this product to review.

These boxes are genius. Quick and easy way to pack your lunch, and I like that its portioned control. I LOVE that they’re dishwasher friendly too, that makes life easier.

Here’s a message from Kelly:

Mornings spent in chaos making breakfast, beds, & lunch boxes? The EasyLunchbox system makes it simple to organize, and quickly pack healthy lunches without wasting money, time, paper or plastic.

Born out of my response to unhealthy school lunch programs, EasyLunchboxes.com started from the desire to send my 3 kids to school with a nutritious meal, using little to no wasteful packaging. But the EasyLunchbox System is not just for kids. Adult size meals fit perfectly too.

The EasyLunchbox System ’s design, functionality, and low price has quickly made it a top choice among green lunch box solutions since it came on the market in D ecember, 2009. Named a ‘top 5 Eco-Friendly Mommy Must Have” by Parents Ask, the EasyLunchbox System has been rated TOP CHOICE by many independent reviewers. Read their reviews HERE .

I was like other frustrated moms – I didn’t like throwing together lunches during the morning rush. So much time was wasted sorting through a cabinet of mismatched food containers while trying to pack 15-25 well-balanced lunches per week. I struggled to find something that would help me pack lunches fast, without resorting to the ‘convenience’ of expensive, pre-packaged ‘fast-food.’ Most importantly, I wanted something attractive, eco-friendly, and made of food-safe materials that I didn’t have to wash by hand.

My clever solution to the lunch-packing chore is the simple two piece EasyLunchbox container: The bottom has three compartments to hold an entree or sandwich and two side dishes. The fitted lid (which comes in 4 colors) covers all three compartments at once. No more squished sandwiches, mismatched plastic container pieces to keep track of (matching up all those bottoms and lids was the thing that drove me nuts!) or wasteful baggies. Fits perfectly inside the roomy EasyLunchbox custom carrying bag. And there is still plenty of room to throw in an extra snack or two, whole fruit, perhaps a thermos of soup, drink and ice block.  Flexibility is key, and since so many different things can fit, no matter what menu you choose to include, it packs easily and quickly. It’s amazing how much faster, greener, & easier lunch box packing is with the EasyLunchbox system.

Supporting the waste-free lunch movement, EasyLunchboxes.com offers a reusable, superior solution at a much lower price than other companies.

The simple chic design and bright colors of our Cooler Bags can even be personalized! We have included a sturdy grommet in the carrying handle so you can easily attach a pretty key ring, dietary restrictions warning tag, or your choice of any type of handcrafted or store bought “flair.” Examples HERE

Our Cooler Bags are made of the highest quality 300D Polyester for premium durability and toughness. Vinyl free (PVC free) & lead free, with an FDA compliant PEVA lining.

…and I don’t mean in the romantical way.

I buy a lot of fresh produce from the grocery store. But if I don’t take the time to chop up veggies, sometimes I forget about buying them and don’t eat them in time. Anyone else have that problem?

So my fix, I do it right away and date them…

Get your veggies, wash, cut ‘em up, put them in a ziplock bag and put a date on them!

I’m liking this method of dating produce… I’m thinking I should invest in a label maker…

What about you? Do you date food in your refrigerator?

No, really. I could. I go through phases where I’ll eat the same thing for days, weeks, even months in a row.

Exhibit A:

• 1/2 cup Fiber One Original cereal
• Handful of Blueberries & Strawberries
• Yogurt; sometimes vanilla, strawberry or Oikos Greek Blueberry

And, I love it. I crave it. For one week I didn’t have blueberries, because I absolutely REFUSED to pay $3.99 for a pint {Hello, grocery stores, what is your problem!?}. And I was sad because of it. But finally the price went to $1.77 and I bought two pints. Happiness again.

I might find my breakfast too look quite pretty because I’ve taken many pictures of, pretty much the same thing…

And of course I finish it all with a cup of Green Tea…

Yum!

What about you, can you eat the same thing everyday or do you need variety?

Remember the other day when I needed a do-over? Poor Taxi needed one too the other morning…

Poor little pup, got her head stuck in a tissue box. I came to the rescue, but of course had to take a picture first.

So, have you ever exercised and then later went to eat something and had extra of whatever you’re eating and said “I earned it, I worked out today.”

Yep, been there, done that.

The thing is, just because you worked out doesn’t equal a free pass to binge. You could in a matter of minutes cancel out every bit good you just did for yourself while working out.

I think it can be hard to remember that sometimes. But, its do-able.

Ever been guilty of post-workout bingeing? What do you do to overcome it?
