Final thoughts: This was hard. I'm sure you guys are looking at this and thinking how on earth did I even function because most of the meals don't look filling. And you're right! I was hungry a lot. And I felt like I had to do extra meal prepping? I felt like I spent more money on groceries trying to be healthy, but was more hungry in the end? Lunch during the work week when I was in the office was the toughest. I felt like nothing filled me up or I didn't know what to pack. But part of it was a me problem because packing lunch the night before is the most miserable thing for me to do haha. Like if I made a sandwich the night before, maybe I would have been less hungry. Would I do this again? Yes, but I have to figure out healthy filling meals.
Here are some before and after pictures. I don't really a difference which is a bummer, but this was only a month long challenge and you really have to stick with a lifestyle change for a long period of time to see significant difference. (And sorry to my family for posting "inappropriate" photos haha)
