* What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? Same as above go off in a place were I know no one can bug me and kick up my feet and enjoy the foods I love
I would love to review these as here in my home, we are all big fans of sandwiches especially, when I can use fresh, quality meats and cheeses. I like it better when it comes sliced like these do, as I usually slice my own luncheon meats and cheeses on my electric slicer.
1. Making the most of my lunchtime?
I volunteer with my union and often we meet during lunch since we can't meet at other times.
2. Me time?
What's me time...LOL I am one of those that is guilty of doing work during lunch quite often. To actually get me time, I would have to be sure to leave the building entirely!
Depends where I am, at home, I eat doing gather and relax that way
at my volunteer time lunch, I relax and talk to friends
me time, is just relaxing for a bit
I try to eat at my desk while corresponding on myspace/facebook/gather. That way, while I eat lunch I can catch up with friends and family and fellow bzzagents!
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
I get in some "me" time during lunch by eating my favorite things. Also, getting to correspond with friends far away via the internet is always relaxing and exciting!
* What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? When it gets nice out, I let the dogs and cats outside so I can get more "me" time.
My "Me" time is for the rest of my day, when the kids are at school. I catch up on reading, take a nap, and more.
try to accomplish as much as i can in a short amount of time
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
me time during lunch is making a great healthy sandwich and sitting alone and eating it..hehe
* What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? I consider posting on Gather me time, as Gather isn't working and its fun to learn new information.
I make the most of my lunches by multi tasking. I eat while I check out Gather, read online newspapers, and check other websites that I'm a member of. This provides me with my "me" time during the day, and allows me to catch up with all of my gather friends!
I make the most of my lunch break by volunteering in the library at school :) I'm not much for sitting around doing nothing. I take my time eating ( I try to indulge myself with a "dessert"), then I organize the next lesson, then go find somone who needs my help.
How do I make the most of my lunch break? I make foods for the kids that will keep them occupied for a long time. I make foods for myself that take the shortest amount of time to make possible so that I have more time to spend on eating it, since I know that as soon as the kids are done eating I will be off chasing them once again.
How do I get "me" time at lunch? Well, I always make kid-friendly foods so that I don't need to worry about the kids playing with their food. It's okay with me when they pretend their apples and grapes are animals! The happier they are during lunch, the more time (and almost always the only time) I have to myself. I am able to sit down and Gather while I enjoy whatever it is I have made for myself. The longer it takes to prepare my food the less time I have, so quick and easy are important to me!
I have tried these sandwiches before when they were on sale and would love to have them again.
It all depends on the day. I'm a stay at home mom, so each day is different. Some days I make the most out of my lunch break by sitting at the table with my kids while they eat lunch. Talking about the day and things they want to do or see.
Other days I spend it at the computer getting in some Gather time!
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
Gather time is "me" time and a few days of the week, I spend my lunch on the computer, gathering. I've even spent some of my lunch breaks in a wonderful chat her on Gather.
Other days, I have taken a nice relaxing walk or even a shower if I have enough time!
I spend that time unwinding from that particular day's sometimes hectic to eat as much of a healthy nutritious "lunch" meal for that day. I try to eat a balance meal, one that will energize me and keep me focused on the things ahead.
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
I turn my office phone on forward. Close my door, and turn on my favorite music on the stereo set I have in the corner of my office. I may either check personal emails, lately I may check Gather, LoL or I may just decide to take some time to prioritize all the things that I need to do for myself or my wife or kids. Sometimes, my "ME" time is shared with others, to the point where I don't mind, as long as, I know I've accomplished the things that I set out to do, that's what's important to me most.
Besides that I absolutely love trying new products and I have previous review writing skills, here is my latest review I've written on Gather:
~Palmolive Pure and Clear Product Review~
Besides, all of what I've written so far, I love a good sandwich from time to time. It's the most easiest meal or snack one could have between meals!
Thanks in advance for the opportunity.

* How do you make the most of your lunch break?
I am an eater. I love to eat and don't always eat healthy. I usually just grab something that I can microwave or eat on the run.
* What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
I enjoy spending time on Gather and some other websites trying to figure out how to plant a veggie garden or finding something for the grandkids to do this summer.
I am a stay at home mom, and I feel that eating together with your family is very important. My son and I always have lunch together, almost always at the table, although lately we haven't been able to, since the dining room is still full of stuff that goes back down to the basement this week.
Lunch is the meal that's just my son and me. He picks what we have (from a "menu" I give him each day). We talk about whatever he wants to talk about, and plan the rest of our day. No TV, no pets (they get closed in the bedroom with my sleeping husband), no distractions.
I do my ME time later, after he's asleep. But I must say that I really enjoy the "us" time that I spend with my son while we are eating.
How do you make the most of your lunch break?
I normally grab lunch with my roommate and we discuss our plans for the day. I always try to eat outside if the weather is permitting. It's nice to get a little fresh air and sunshine during my break.
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
I read. It lets me escape whatever is occuring that day and go somewhere far away. I know this sounds like something you hear from your grade school teacher but I've always loved that books take me to somewhere different.
Getting out of the office is mandatory. I use my lunch break to take in a change of scenery. I either walk around the block, visit a local café or, if the weather is nice, sit outside with an enjoyable book. And if I have to bring my own lunch instead of buy one somewhere I
make my lunch a healthy one. I also like to eat with friends occassionally
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? Taking that short walk to that local cafe and spoiling myself with a decadent lunch is an awesome way to get some me time during lunch. When I bring my own lunch I get some me time when I take a book along to read.
ANd I would love to test & review these lunch items during my me TIme!
My best "me" time lunch is when I am running errands and the baby is napping in the backseat. I go park someplace quiet and read and eat (either fast food or fruit and iced tea from home). Gotta squeeze the "me" time in when ya can!
How to I make the most of my lunch break? Well, to me, lunch break is MY time. I walk away from my desk, sit by an open window, and enjoy the outdoors. In summer, I sit outside whenever possible. And if I have the time, I love to take a short walk. I do my best to avoid my cell, agenda, email, etc. Lunch is time for me to RELAX because there aren't enough moments in the day to do that. I need that time to spend on myself, to emotionally take a BREAK from the day.
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? me waiting till my last 2 leave.. I watch the shows ive recorded.. I enjoy the peace and quiet
Since I am a stay at home mother my office is at home, but with a newborn now this would help me make a quick and easy lunch for myself and daughter. But my husband takes his lunch to work and I usually make it for him, but havn't since the baby, so it would be a quick and easy lunch for him to take to work. He doesn't like most lunch meats, unless they come from the deli so it would be great to get to try deli creations sandwhiches and maybe it will be something he actually likes and we can start buying it. We don't ever buy packaged lunchmeat to make our own sandwiches since he thinks it is all nasty....
I've always been an Oscar Meyer fan.
I am self-employed, so I don't have a dedicated lunch break. I usually eat a "Brunch" around noon to 1:00, so I can have energy for a workout a little after 2:00. I usually have my brunch while going through my first batch of daily e-mails, including e-mails about gather replies and posts. I typically read articles while eating and then come back and reply to them while digesting. (This is made pretty easy with Mozilla tabs!)
* What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
I consider responding to e-mails and gathering to be great use of "Me" time, and the act of eating brunch is to have the fuel for my favorite me time, exercising.
I really don't get a lunch break since I am home with my son and we stick to a schedule. My lunch time is whatever i can quickly throw together int he few minutes I have while my son is eating his lunch and not asking for help.
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
This is a hard one since I don't have a lot of me time but I can just take a couple minutes too enjoy my food and think about my daily activities that need to be accomplished.
Freelancing from home, lunch is my most enjoyable meal of the day. It's time that I get to spend with my sister, usually engaged in conversation about the latest news events.
What are the ways you can get in a little "me" time during lunch?
If I am alone at lunch, I try not to do anything else, just relax and eat. All the rest of the day, I feel like I am multi-tasking. Lunch means just being able to notice the weather, enjoy some quiet. I really love it when it's warm enough to drag my lunch outside for a change.
How do you make the most of your lunch break?
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
I am a SAHM and I watch 3 other kids so I make the most of our lunchtime by having us all sit at the table together and eat our lunches and talk. I use this time to teach the kids as well, since they are all under age 5, there are alot of things to be taught-guess what shape your sandwich is, what color your desert is, how many bites did it take you to eat all your food, stuff like that that they are learning without knowing it!! :)
To get "me" time in at lunch, I usually eat my lunch after the kids eat theirs-some kids go to nap after lunch while the others watch a movie for "settle down time". I admit, I go on the computer during my lunch and usually plan the rest of the day since it is somewhat quite! :)
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? Gather, gather, and do more Gather.... can you tell I am addicted.
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? Most every day at lunch I have me days..lol My kids are at school and you can find me most likely on gather:)

What are ways you can get in some "Me" time during lunch?? The "me" times is 1 or 2 days I don't eat lunch with my son. Sometimes I sit at the computer munching on my lunch or just enjoy the quiet for a moment.
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? If I have lunch by myself I make everything possible to enjoy this lunch, that's mean if someone is calling I don't answer the phone, because my lunch break is me time
The 2nd half of lunch is MY time. Like, who can watch a movie or tv show in 15 minutes? Ha. Check phones, do email, gather? Ha. That's work. I have a lawn chair out by the company patio, and RUSH to get out of the awful air conditioned factory for some quiet time in the sun watching the birds, enjoying the greenery, feeling a petite breeze blowing, cherishing the warm sun, and if its hot enough (95+), trying to figure out how to get to the beach a few hours early that day. If O-M has something to tantalize my taste buds, here I am. But I am also honest in what I may say.
Lunch? What's that? Most of my lunches are spent at my desk eating while working.

As for me time, I try to do something fun to relax, wheather its reading, playing my uno game or doing sudoku, I find myself refreshed after doing something fun.

See this blog., I checked out a few of the other sandwiches too. Mostly all of them have fat content that is one third of their total calories.
I know you're just doing your job, Stephanie, but reading so many of the posts here of people with all kinds of ailments, including weight problems, this kind of stuff does them a great disservice. I didn't win this one, huh?
During the summer, I often make sandwiches and pack them with some fruit and/or cookies and iced tea. My husband and I take them with us on our pontoon boat. We drift, talk and enjoy our lunch in the fresh air.
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
I like to read a book while eating lunch. Sometimes I browse catalogs or look at a magazine. Lunch is a nice break in the day even for retired people.
When I was working, lunch was my time to catch up on reading. If I didn't want to be interrupted, I'd take my lunch to the park or even eat in my car.
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? Me time at lunch are few and far between. We stay on the go so its usaully fast food for lunch. Sometimes we take the time to cook in the kitchen at work. But thats usually only for dinner.
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? Usually I'll eat and spend time on the computer, or I'll read or watch a favorite show. I'll do as much as I can for me during the lunch break my son allows me to have and a lot of that includes eating!
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? eat with friends, read a book, walk for part of your lunch break, do something for yourself because there's only one you which you need to take care of and that job is just not as important as YOU are.
For my "me" time I escape by reading a romance book while I enjoy my sandwich.
I try to find something to do like study for class or balance my checkbook, since I usually eat in less than 30 minutes.

What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch?
Well, that's easy because lunch time is always me time. I always take my lunch to my computer room and type or check email. Or even read a book or two.
How do you make the most of your lunch break? I'm a SAHM so you'd think I can do lunch whenever, but thats not always possible. I've seen these in the store and have always wanted to try them. They looks so convinent.
What are ways you can get in some “Me” time during lunch? Usually when I'm sitting down eating lunch i'll be online so thats part of my "ME" time:)
Another thing that makes the most of my break time and allows for more "me time" is the convenience of the foods I've chosen to bring. Scheduling breaks is difficult and having something quick, easy and fulfilling that is ready to go makes a huge impact on my lunch time enjoyment.
Things like fruits, vegetables, sandwiches, salads and anything else I can just open right up and dig in to is best for me. I tend to stay away from meals that need to be heated up or microwaved before you can eat them.
When food can be prepared at home in advance and simply brought to work, ready to be enjoyed I am happiest because it takes less time out of my break and allows me to relax and regroup more.
