How are you doing???? Hows the eating and working out coming?

Nice work :) see you at the end. I reckon we go to the pub and drink our winnings!

Hizees!!!! :)

My juice cleanse diet turned out better than expected. I bought and read the book by the makers of Blueprint cleanse. It resulted in having 6 smoothies over the day. Each smoothie is 2 cups/0.5 L so it's quite a bit to take in so I felt full pretty much the whole day and didn't feel I was deprived of anything. Stepping on the scale this morning, my weight dropped a pound from the day before.

Well done Stacey fantastic result !

The running would be better if it would ever stop raining here in England! I remember when I first started running I was so self conscience of people watching me. Then I thought you know, they probably are just jealous they aren't out here getting fit too. Then realized how lucky I was to be able to be out running at all and from then on I didn't worry about it. I was really scared to do my first race which was a cancer research run. Until I got there and was surprised to see all the people who were going through chemo running. I thought well hell, if they can do this surely I have no right to complain. Thinking things like that help me when I just can't put one more foot in front of the other.

Yes I agree it's a good read although I have listened to Robb Wolf podcast and follow the no dairy - except grass fed butter- and low fructose approach which can be a bit tougher but has an amazing efffect on my weight and well being/ the fat thing I love and as a biology nerd totally get ! Good luck keep going !

HI Stacey, impressed by the running how is the Paleo going, I am sticking to fish or meet and greens and finding it okay - a couple of awful days with carb flu eeww, but more energy now - I would love us Paleo'ers to come out near the top because it really is a fantastic healthy way to live. Which books have you read? -Good luck at the weigh in!

LOL! I always think the same thing!!! How can it possibly be up-hill both ways!?!?!?!?

Good luck! My hint with running is that if you can manage it, splurge on some piece of new kit. Shoes, clothes, running watch etc... it helped me to get excited about something when I just couldn't face another day of slogging down the road. And I felt like a 'real' runner when I started buying running magazines.
