First month

[alicia.blessing]

So the 2nd was the end of my first month on FTS I have lost 11.2 lbs. and several inches! I have gotten past the detox stage and most cravings have subsided. I have more energy but unfortantly dont have much to do with it since we have had a lot of snow lately so can't really get out to do much. The only problem im having is with work. I work a couple day a week 9-2 (retail) so don't take a break. We have no fridge, microwave, or anywhere really to eat anyway. So not really sure what I can pack as a quick snack I can keep and eat behind the counter here and there.

That's GREAT Alicia!!  I like nuts also as a portable snack and wrapped cheesesticks.  Those 2 are yummy together    Peanut Butter & Celery...

Beef Jerky is always a quick easy filling snack! Congrats on a great start

my husband works retail and has the same problem.  he will take an apple, but he isn't on fts.  if it were me, I would take celery and peanut butter as someone has mentioned earlier.  let's see, what else can you do - as you know, if in the car some things will freeze,  but, if you are taking the snacks inside and placing behind the counter:  you can place a few ice packs in your lunch container:  then you could bring the 1/2 cup of berries; Philadelphia cream cheese with the celery; cucumbers with cream cheese; lettuce (romaine) and wrap some cold cuts; lettuce wrap some cheese; the list can be endless if you do the ice pack in a nice lunch container. 

Good luck to you.

How about taking a thermos to work with things like chili or soup.  There are also short thermoses that are fairly large around.  Those would hold pretty much any food, hot or cold.  I believe Walmart has them in their camping accessories.

The thermos is a great idea!
