It was a tough tough workout, but I completed it! Never underestimate what you can do! It was a confidence booster that is for sure which was part of my goal with the workout.

I have a great recipe to share with you all today! I have been messing with it for a while, so I wanted to wait until I had it perfected and a healthy version before I shared it.
