Fitness Soul 35 day challenge – Devon’s story.
With some apprehension, I agreed to commit myself to the 35 day challenge – why was I hesitant? It wasn’t the extra strength and conditioning classes I had pledged to attend throughout the duration of the challenge, it was the eating plan! As I scanned the list of foods I was to avoid, my heart…
