Good Morning!
I have to begin by saying I love the Master Cleanse thread! I read it on my way in to work and learned a great deal from everyones experiences - thank you for sharing!
ok - I am running a marathon in October. I am doing it for my neighbor (she does not know) who started running with my encouragement and proceeded to blow me away and ran 2 marathons while I was still trying to run through my neighborhood and back! She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer:( and is on the mend. At the EXACT time I was learning about her cancer, I received an email from a woman at the American Cancer Society. She was responding to an inquiry I made months ago. She mentioned there were still spots open for a local marathon - all I had to do was sign up and raise money. I felt like the timing meant something special so I signed up! I wont tell my neighbor until it is over - or maybe never - not sure.
Anyway - that is my "why" I have just started to train and have been experiencing injury after injury. I am 45 pounds heavier than I should be which is waaay too heavy to run 26.2 miles. While running this morning I thought - when was the last time i felt GREAT? It was a few months back when I just decided to have nothing but green juice for a few days. I did not call it a fast because that makes me immediately run for the nearest box of fudge in fear of deprivation!! The green juices never make me feel deprived though. I also find that green juice somehow heals my injuries? So I will be green juicing until I feel it is not working. I am doing it to improve my health which will mean losing weight, increase my energy, and be able to run!
I have been rambling so long I almost forgot my questions!
1. - Can I drink a kombucha while green juice fasting? I mean - I guess the rules are up to me but will it hurt my progress in any way? Are some brands better than others? I probably wont make my own.
2. - Dh -- I spoke with him this morning - he is very supportive of my fast but when I said "we will have to curtail our weekend dinner dates" - he was not as excited! How do you all get around this?
Those are the questions of the hour - I am sure there will be more:)!!
Thank you!
