Day 29 - 33: 2/8/11 - 2/12/11

Sleep: average of 9 hours

Water: about a gallon a day

Food: finished off the rest of the bananas early in the week, been eating lotsa dates and oranges. Also made my first bulk greens purchase (well split a box of 24 with my friend Josh): 12 heads of red leaf lettuce from Catalan organic farm. Such a good idea! My favorite lettuce ever. So tender. I've been eating three heads a day since Thursday, and feeling so good! Yeah lettuce! Juiced a bunch of navel oranges yesterday for breakfast, sooo good I couldn't handle it.

Exercise: Getting back into aerial classes, feeling as strong as ever. Took an Acro-Balance class today, stood on people's shoulders, people stood on my shoulders. Cool!

Day 21-28: 1/31/11 - 2/7/11

I went away to Six Rivers National Forest. It was awesome. I had too much food, which was no problem!

Sleep: Slept well in the dark and quiet non-city nights.

Water: One of my favorite things about my stay was I was drinking water right out of the spring. Incredible! The best water I've had. Tap water doesn't do it for me anymore. I immediately smelled the chlorine when I took a shower after coming home. Started buying reverse-osmosis water in bulk at Berkeley Bowl. Tastes really clean, not like fresh from the spring, but good enough. I've always been a distilled water fan, but the fact that it comes in un-reusable plastic bottles bums me out. I've thought about getting a water distiller, but I've heard they're really slow and take alot of energy.

Food: I was over-prepared in a really great way. Brought 10# mandarins, 60+# bananas, picked up 80# more there, along with 12# dates, and 6# spinach. I have a new record for whole bananas in a single meal: 25. Maybe could have stuffed a few more in to prove a point, but I was pretty full after that!

Exercise: A break from all the aerial classes I've been taking. Instead took walking and running hikes, did push-ups, squats, chopped wood, jumped in the c-c-c-cold Klamath river.
