My Version of Progress
It’s been a while since I’ve updated you all on my fitness and body journey.

Bun Undone Burger
I must confess, I am obsessed. When I first attempted to recreate my paleo turkey meatballs into burgers, I had no idea how good they would be. Admittedly, I cannot stop making them…no shame ;).

Toning It Up
With the excitement of the 21 Day Challenge official kick off, as well as the high i’m still riding coming out of the TIU Tour, I wanted to share WHY I chose Tone It Up and why I continue to be eternally grateful. Not only that, but I want to encourage you to join me…
