I discovered a new secret weapon

[Tony Moses]

I just discovered a new secret weapon for my diet. A pre-workout fuel. Fig Newtons, lol. I am serious. My ex-girlfriend is a triathlete and her and her friends would fuel up on them for races. So, while I was at the grocery store, I bought a bag, thinking that if people stay strong and stable while completing triathlons, they could surely keep me feeling solid during a 1 and a half to 2 hour workout.

So, before the gym the other day, I had 4 of them with some water/gatorade mix and I had an awesome workout. I am going to have 4 of them pre-workout regularly and see if I stumbled across something.

FIG
1. The hollow, pear-shaped false fruit of the fig tree, with sweet, pulpy flesh containing numerous, tiny, seedlike true fruits.

OK....maybe I should have just said "it's a fruit". :BB:
