Day 2- more recipes and a dream

OK- So, Day 2.

I started the day with no headache thank. fucking. gaaawd!  and an orange grapefruit juice again, just because they are so easy and delicious and super inexpensive right now and exceptionally tasty since it's grapefruit season here in Texas. If you live here and you aren't eating grapfruits right now you're doing yourself a huge disservice.  just sayin.  I wonder if there are greens that would go good with a citrus juice.  I've read that it's not good to mix citrus with greens, but I don't really know why or if it's true.  More research needed.

Grapefruit orange
4 and 3/4 cups (38oz)  grapefruit juice-456
2 and 3/4 (22oz) cups orange juice-308

Total 60oz and 764 calories.  not bad.

For my second juice, I made basically the same as yesterday, but used less carrots because I only had like 7, and added a little bit of poblano pepper for a little spice.  It made a little bit less, probably more like 40 ounces, so let's call it 350 calories.  I'm not going to bother positing pics or the recipe because it was the same.

Total for the day- 80 oz at 1114 calories. Not bad but still not 120, that's going to be hard.  Need more juice.

Last night I had a crazy dream about food.  It was really vivid and strange.  In real life my dad was a grocery and liquor store owner in Michigan, and I grew up working in his store.  I was able to eat pretty much whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.  The result was that I ate a LOT of TV dinners- when they were called TV dinners.  Anyway,  in this dream, his store was huge, kind of like a giant Whole foods or some other fancy supermarket and I was almost in a panic trying to gather food before it closed.  I was wandering the isles which was much like wandering the streets of Chicago, looking for food, but knowing that I had to be careful because danger could be just arond the corner.  I found the bakery which was closing and asked if I could please have a couple of bagels for free, since they were going to pitch them at the end of the day anyway. They obliged. Then I wandered looking for the frozen food isle (somewhere near Ashland and Division?) on a search for something easy and fast but frozen so I could heat it up later.  I remember feeling desperate and really hungry and afraid I wasn't going to find what I wanted before the store closed and then I wouldn't have anything.  The mood of the whole dream was dark and ominous, and none of those feelings really fit with how I feel about fasting.

Well, anyway, it was just a dream.  I felt a lot better today, did yoga for two hours and went on a two hour walk with my good buddy Steve.  We wandered through downtown, checked out new architecture and I battled the desire to eat food about once a block as we passed fragrances that peaked my interest.  I kind of felt like a dog with a really hieghtened sense of smell.  I'd forgotten how that happens, how the smell of food triggers so many cravings when fasting.  But overall, I'm feeling pretty good.  Have a slight headache coming on again, I'm probably not drinking enough water.
