BODYFORM"S & Grace's Asylum
[IMG]http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/grace_ou/Asylum%20Logs/Headers/4e4990a2-1.jpg[/IMG]
[b][i]Hi I'm Grace and I'm an endurance athlete with powerlifting addiction. I'm outlaw cyclist, adventure racing enthusiast, iron addict, bar room brawler, alcohol consumption specialist and all round bitch.. at your service. I'm not here to offer advice or to motivate anyone. I'm just some crazy bitch that trains to much, eats to much and drinks to much and on occasionally does a few races.
I am here to test and review Better Body Sports supplement, Bodyform's. I'm currently 5'2 and about 150 lbs. I'm your standard endurance athlete, my primary sport at the moment is cycling. I'm training for a tour (about 1,500 miles) later this summer. I'm also currently still adventure racing from time to time. I wanted to explain why I would choose to log a supplement like Bodyform which is primarily a fat burner and supplement most people will choose to lose weight by. That's not my goal. My current training is designed to improve performance it's not a program designed to loose weight by. I just want to make that clear.
Now as a long time endurance athlete I've tried a lot of different supplements over the years and fat burners to me have more then one use and I really think a lot of companies under promote their uses. A good fat burner product will have multiple uses for me. I really feel like they are great for boost endurance. (and there's a lot of research out there on the effects caffeine can have on performance) So the first thing I look at is how the product boosts my energy levels and endurance. The second thing I like to look for is the ability to control my appetite. Those are the two primary things I look for in a fat burner.[/i][/b]

[b][i]I make daily training post, with all the details I feel like affording ya'll. I don't do request, don't bother to ask. It's all about me here. I try to cover things like Pruno Shakes, survival guides everyday training and tips for different areas sports & life. Basically whatever the **** I wanna ramble about on any given day.
All the recipes I post will be added to livestrong for those of you that track your meals there if you type in my recipe titles that will already be in the system.[/i][/b]

[b][i]If you would like to contact the company you can so here.. [url]http://www.betterbodysports.com/Default.asp[/url] However if you have a complaint about offense material or language in my log don't bother. Better Body Sports is not responsible for anything I say or do and well I don't give a ****.. .. They are also not responsible if you get hurt, injured or drunk or any paternity suits they may arise from this.. because this is my log and nobody told your dumb ass to go home and try anything you read here. So if you do so it's at your own risk and I wish good luck with that.[/i][/b]

[b]We worked hard to today but kept the pacing fun. We hung out and trained around OK city & Heifner today which is basically a big meat market. It's a an area around the lake where everyone goes to train for cycling, running, also kiting and sailing ect.. it's always full of single people looking to hook up. LOL, recently it's gotten attention because under cover cops have started busting peole for having sex or soliciting ect..
It's not someplace we would go for serious training because there's just to many people out there. But it's fun social area for all kinds of athletes and non athletes.
We had alot of fun and as usual for the first long day riding in sunshine ... I'm sunburned! You would think I would learn by now!!
We did the whole family BBQ & beer afterward.[/b]

Cool shower with vinegar soaked cloths. Yeah smells bad but good for the sunburn. Apparently either my sun block didn't work or it wore off to soon, cause I'm burnt to a crisp.

[color=blue][b][i]Notes: [/i][/b][/color] [b][i]Our ride went from Norman to Ok city and around the boathouse trails. Fairly relaxed paced today but a decently long ride. We obviously need to log the miles for training but with all the structured workouts indoors we really just want to train at our pace today and enjoy the sunshine!
Monday I resume more structured workouts. [/i][/b]

[IMG]http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/grace_ou/Acomment%20smiley/toilet%20smileys/flies.gif[/IMG] Today in confessional.. I frebreezed by underwear and compression gear before going to visit a doctor. People this is why I never want to be a doctor!! Because people do stuff like this!!
I was running late from training and I didn't have time to shower! Don't judge me I couldn't help it!! I had a training session in that stupid sweat box and i had to run in compression gear, which sweats horribly even without being a heated room!
There are some days when truly I should be asking myself why I enjoy this, maybe it's a sign of more serious problem or mental disorder. Maybe I have a problem I don't know about! [IMG]http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/grace_ou/Acomment%20smiley/toilet%20smileys/uglysmiley.gif[/IMG]
LOlz.. febreezin my ass isn't one on my finer moments in life but sometimes a girl gotta do what sh gotta do. Sad part is it ain't even the first time I've done that. :o
