22 days

I know - I said I wasn't counting, but my wife asked me this morning how many days and so I looked at the calendar. I figured it this way - Feb 16 - March 12 = 25 days - 3 days of eating = 22 days. So St. Patrick's Day will be 30 days. I'll be sure and drink something green : ).

This morning I had watermelon juice. It wasn't that good but I think it was a bad watermelon - it looked like the meat had maybe froze at some point. I wasn't too keen on drinking it but I did anyway. Still standing so far. I also had a home made V-8 - celery/tomato/carrot/spinach with some Himalayan salt. I ended up with 64 oz. of it so it's the main drink for today. I had to get up early because I had an appointment in Shafter (a little over an hour away). So I just made some quick juice. But then the appointment cancelled. Now I have 32 oz. of home made V-8 already made. I will just make the rest of the days juice later.

I went on "The Daily Plate" at Livestrong today to figure out my calorie intake each day. As near as I can figure it's around 1800 cal. per day. The juices give me a little over 1200 but the agave boosts that by 360 calories each 1/4 cup. (I have one or two servings that size a day). It's less than I expected. I've been telling everyone not to worry because I'm getting 2000 calories a day. 1800 is less but not extremely less. My weight has stabilized for now (I am losing size - I now can wear 36 inch pants comfortably - I started with tight 38s). My health is okay - I still have a raspy throat - but other than that everything feels fine.

I do have amazing dreams that I feel very involved in. Most I do not remember but those I do are quite vivid. I feel like I am sleeping much deeper too.

Over all I am amazed I am still doing this - if I drink my juice in a timely manner I'm rarely hungry. The nice thing is if I do get hunger pangs I just drink some water, or the lemon concoction or I have some juice - problem fixed.
