I have been reading up a lot on training for a marathon. Its a good thing we have til September before the first half marathon. So right now we are focusing on being able to run for 30 minutes without stopping, that's the first step. Our actual training will start July 1st. We are still juicing 3 to 4 times a week, it just makes us feel better. Every morning we have our Green Smoothie for breakfast (Spinach, mango, banana, flax seed and fresh green apple juice, or pineapple juice) I take the spiralina tablets, or the powder in my smoothie. And we eat super healthy, all organic and veggies. I can't believe how much I am enjoying running, how much better I feel. I am getting addicted. We are trying to lose 5 lbs a week, but that doesn't always happen. We still lose every week! I think setting goals helps so much and I think the marathon's will keep us focused. I'll have to post some more recipes I have found :)

April 21st

We did make it through our sixty days, Yay! Now we are focusing on sticking to 1200 to 1700 calories a day. And staying away from empty calories. I still juice at least once a day, because it makes me feel so much better. We have been walking/ jogging every night. I can't jog the whole time yet, but I'm getting closer to my final goal of being a runner on the beach :) We are going to do some 1/2 marathons, leading up to the marathon in January. 26.2 miles from Wailea to Lahaina town, WOW! but what a gorgeous run right on the coast. The first 1/2 marathon is September 15th. so we have a while to train. Im excited. Well we will keep you posted!

Day Forty Five

We are still mostly juicing, but we have slowly started to add other things back to our diet, like, beans, brown rice, granola. I've been doing green smoothies with spirilina and flaxseed. We are sticking to 1200 to 1700 calories a day.
 Chris tried the cleanse doing one quart of warm water with 2 tbsp. of sea salt. It worked fine for him.. I tried it and violently threw up. Ugghh, it was awful!!
We are writing everything we eat down and exercising. Starting phase 2 a little early, we need more food with the exercising we have been doing.
