I masterfully completed my mission: A giant taste test of Dr. Robert O. Young's green smoothie. Check out my 8 varieties below.

Best meal today: Oatmeal, unsweetened coconut, pecans, and dried cranberries.
Off-Diet: None! Day two at 100%!

I believe I've lost about 3 lbs in the last three weeks. I'll attempt to remember to weigh myself in the morning.

I am still strategizing on how to repair my sleep cycle. At times I cannot fall asleep, at times I cannot stay asleep. I typically begin to sleep deeply at about 6 am. If I have a particularly sleepless night, I often choose to sleep in for most of the morning. If I do not, I feel awful and in a great amount of pain for the entire day following.
Any suggestions?
Actions already in place:
1. 1/4 dose of the active ingredient in Tylenol PM (Meaning I do not take any Tylenol)
2. New mattress topper.
3. Addition of a PVC tent at the foot of my bed to relieve the weight of the blankets on my feet
4. Electric blanket to not wake up cold.
5. Melatonin. 3 mg at midnight
6. No chocolate after 5 pm. Perhaps caffeine is keeping me up?
7. No water after 11 pm. I often awoke needing to urinate. I don't have a better solution...

Dr. Young's base: Kale, spinach, celery, parsley, and cucumber.
The first blend was chewy chunky. I think Robert juiced his... and I'm stuck with a blender.
Tests:
Base + 1/2 apple
Base + 1/2 apple + cinnamon
Base + 1/2 orange
Base + 1/2 avocado
Results: I found the apple and avocado palatable. The others were undesirable. I entirely forgot banana, and would have also tested berries if they were in season. Right now berries are simply cost prohibitive.
...And then I was reminded that I ought to add almond juice to the base. New mixes:
Base + 1/2 apple + cinnamon + hazelnut chocolate = FANTASTIC
Base + 1/2 orange + almond milk = I actually began to heave. Yuck.
Base + 1/2 orange + hazelnut chocolate = tolerable.
I barely drank half of what I made. It's heavy stuff.
Today I also ate leftovers from yesterday's turmeric skillet and a pb&j.
