Made it 30 days of being pretty focused in the Zone. Gonna take a week to just relax and not be to crazy about the details of the daily post. The past 30 days served as training for what portions look like in the zone and making sure each meal was the right balance. Starting tomorrow, I will eat 25 blocks daily.
