Thank you for sharing!

I’ve worked out every day of 2021. I haven’t overdone it, which is something I’ve always struggled with resulting in injury. I do a minimum of 10 minutes a day, 3 times a week for over an hour. Clothes fit bitter, and most importantly I’m proud of myself.

That kind of consistency is incredible! You should be proud for having the drive to keep this a priority!

I like RX bars, but thinking of switching to fruit with natural PB (I.e. only peanuts and oil) since guessing anything that isn’t processed will help give me that extra push to my goal (175 lbs 15% BF). Any ideas are appreciated!
