After unpacking and organizing, I did some prep work. Carrots had to be peeled and cut into sticks. I also cut the cheese (LOL!) into small cubes and separated them into baggies. Doing a little bit of prep work helps when I have busy mornings. Sandwiches couldn't be made ahead of time because I didn't want the bread to get hard. Eggs were boiled and tuna salad was made.
This challenge was fun. It made me think about what I was purchasing and how much I could eat each day. I'll update you later this week to let you know how everything went.
