it's just normal jelly or jam without any sugar in it. smuckers and a few of the other jelly and pb companies make them and they in the same area of the grocery store as the normal ones are. i am weird when it comes to flavors on some things and the sugar free peach and orange tastes like hand soap to me. the grape is also kind of bland as well. all the others are very tasty

Oh I have some smuckers but pretty sure it's only no added sugar. Does this stuff have zero sugar in ingredients you use???
Maybe dumb canadia

yes it is completely sugar free. you can get all kinds of sugar free condiments man, from jelly to maple syrup and even honey. i dont use a ton of them but they do help a lot to flavor some pain tasting things

done for the day. went to the doc first thing this am for my stupid knee cause it really doesnt feel right at all and i was scared i tore a tendon in there. the doc felt it all and did all the tests and nadda. everything is in place and complete. so i got some dry needling done on my knee and leg, got *****ed at for not stretching enough and told that my glute strength sucks ass and i over compensate. oh and my it bands are stupid tight. so no swelling, no tears, weak glutes, and it is still tight and feels funky. i am actually cleared to train legs tomorrow lol but i will take it very very easy just to be safe.

done for the day. did my little extension warmup really focusing on feeling my knee and how it was doing. had a little pop on the inside and then it actually loosened up a bit and felt pretty good. still not taking the chance i did a special wrap with my knee wrap and put on a weightlifters style wrap on. it gave me almost zero pain and was actually quite comfortable. also when i was rolling my it bands and quads are really tender in a few places so i am betting the doc was right and that is what the issues are coming from. so lots of prehab work for me i suppose and hopefully i can get this puppy back to normal again sooner than later. last cheat meal for a while dang it so i am probably going out with a big nasty burger fries and a shake.

done for the day. so as you can see i am prehabbing and rehabbing my freaking knee. i got up this am and it felt pretty good but not perfect and that was after doing legs yesterday. so i am hopeful it will heal up and i will be back at it in a couple of weeks at most. i am planning on trying to get the doc to do both muscle scrapping as well as the dry needling on it to speed up the process as well as seeing if their are any other options we can do on top of what we are already doing. cheat meal yesteday blasted my guts with fire cause i ate jalepenos on my burger lol. i had a firey night and morning today lol but it was absolutely delicious. on another note, it isnt looking like i will be competing this year at all due to a loss of a sponsor and piss poor planning and timing on their part not to mention i wont put up with bs from anyone regardless of what they are doing for me. so as of today, the plan ahead is to continue to lean down for health reasons wink wink and go into a full supervised offseason with the mountain dog at the helm. i honestly think i can add onto what i have so far and come in even bigger and better nationally next year. i may sneak in with gusto or i may not i am doubting it right now and it isnt very likely so i can put 100% focus into bringing him in the best possible.
