A good buddy of mine said something interesting the other day.
He said, “I’m not fat because of the hour I spend everyday in the gym. I’m fat because of what I do the other 23 hours a day.”

They had to watch 3 hours of the show “The Bachelor” the other night. Lol…
Oh well.
Listen… I get it. I have my own self-discipline demons.

You don’t think you have 15 minutes a day?
