Product review, New Product, Grinding Schedule

In the past I have reported on new nutritional products that I have tried and felt they had some good values, i.e. MonaVie, the premier acai berry blend to help with energy and inflammation and Enlyten, also a energy booster and their electrolyte supplement products. While MonaVie is is taken orally at about 4 ounces per day, Enlyten is taken in the mouth and dissolves very quickly. For the past 8 months I have used MonaVie daily and Enlyten for the past 3 months. Both of these products have worked for me and seem to be worth the money. The only complaint I have is that they are multi-level (MLM) products and you have to do auto ship in certain quantities, etc. But I will stick with them as long as they work.

A new product that I will be working with in the future, not a MLM, is a product called Athletes Honey Milk, a recovery drink for endurance athletes and also for any athletes doing sustained exercise. This product is currently sold only through the internet, www.athletesmilk.com, but this will change in the immediate future. It is real low fat milk, with the lactose removed from it, and has a drop of honey added. With 26 grams of protein, and 26 grams of carbs, it is a perfect recovery drink after competition or a hard work out. It also has 230 calories, with only 30 coming from fat. You will also find Vitamin A, D, and Calcium on the nutritional fact sheet. I have been drinking it for 2 months and using it for recovery of the weekly triathlon events that I have been competing in within the Southwest Challenge Series. It is also very good in the morning and has a tendency to keep my hunger level during the day on a low keel. Study the web site and if there are any questions please contact me.

For the past 3 months I have really been on the grinding treadmill of competing in triathlons nearly every weekend. Since I am the very slim leader in my age group I would like to continue to lead and possibly win the division. To do this I must eat and drink right, in addition I must get my rest. Since we drive to all of these events I have found that the road travel is just as tiring as the events themselves, so it is double up on rest during the week, and one massage a week. The other day a long time friend of mine ask me if I thought what I was doing was actually a healthy thing to do and my reply was, “probably not.” But, I know what my body can do and how I need to take care of it so that it will not be totally unhealthy. This schedule I am on right now is not healthy for the person who is not trained and accustomed to this type of exercise. For those it is very unhealthy, for me it is just the norm and I will continue to do this as long as I can. The key is getting the right nutrition and rest when it is really needed. For today I have spent time on my two blog sites, so now I have worked my mind and then I will go to a movie or ride the Hog. There are three events left for the next 3 weekends, so I must complete my goals of winning my age group and if I don’t compete I will not be able to do that. We are never too old to set new goals, and achieve them.
