Days 2 and 3

I'm combining these two days because I'm lazy and because there isn't much to say this early on in the diet. I can say that my cravings are still harsh; everyone's lunch at work smelled like the most amazing food ever made. In fact, my mouth is watering right now (Pavlov!). I really hope my peanut-butter gets here soon.

I can say that I'm better hydrated than I've been since boot camp, and it makes a notable difference when exercising. We played soccer today for PT, and I noticed that I had more energy and stamina. I'm fairly certain that's due primarily to the water intake.

For breakfast I had today, I had my smoothie. For lunch it was a collard green wrap (pate, yogurt, cheese, and some spices). I snacked on Nutzola throughout the day. Nutzola is sort of like granola, but it has no grain. It's dehydrated seeds/nuts with butter and maple syrup and raisins. Very good snack. I treated myself to some raw salmon for supper, but I went a little overboard with it. It just tasted so good (always get wild caught) I had to have a little more. I didn't get sick, but my stomach wasn't happy about having to work that hard to digest food. For dessert it was Nutzola and milk. My son, Franklin, shared with me.

Tomorrow I'm changing things up a little. I've had enough collard greens for a while, so I made a smoothie with beets, ginger, pineapple, grapes, avocado, aloe, whey, and coconut oil. For lunch I'm taking an avocado half's worth of guacamole and crackers for lunch and probably some honey, yogurt and Nutzola.

Now then, my wife pointed out that I'm probably not getting enough calories. I've tried to see what my basil metabolic rate should be, but I've gotten a wide range of results from online calculators. I don't think there is a problem as I don't feel faint or hungry. I haven't sat down and figured up how many calories I'm getting per day... I'll get around to it. I'm a big proponent of listening to one's body, however. I figure as long as I feel fine, I'm doing fine.

Let's see, what else did I want to hit...? I think I've covered everything. Oh, I know the comment function hasn't been working, but feel free to post on my Facebook. If you're not my friend on Facebook... well that's your problem :P

I'll look into your BMR today. I would have done it last night but you typed this in the middle of my yoga!
