Exercise: 1.5 hours of Tai Chi, walked dogs 1 mile
Notable reaction of the day: None, I didn't feel like talking to anyone.

Meal prep & how I felt:

After the SWF I prepared the lemonade mixture. I used an electric juicer to juice 7 lemons (2 pounds), the 7 lemons produced 20 tablespoons (1.25 cups) of lemon juice, enough for 10 servings of lemonade. The 2 pound bag of lemons was $3.99. I then mixed a cup of lemon juice with a cup of the maple syrup into a Nalgene bottle and chilled it to use later in the day. I used the remaining 1/4 cup of lemon juice with 1/4 cup of maple syrup for my morning lemonade and added 1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. The first sip was okay, but by the time I finished the bottle (it took about 15 minutes) my tongue was on FIRE! Not pleasant.

My first two servings were around 8:45am, my second two were around 12noon, my third two servings were between 2-3pm, and my forth two servings were at 5:15pm. The lemonade is so unpalatable that I don't really want another two servings today.
I also drank 60 ounces of water and 2 cups of tea throughout the day.

I didn't feel so hot today, as I went through Tai Chi, I kept wanting to sit down (Tai Chi doesn't move that fast!). My joints hurt when I moved my fingers, arms, legs; and I had trouble focusing on the computer screen a few times throughout the day; and I kept getting chills. For much of the day I moved a lot slower than usual, it might sound nice to slow down but I prefer to do it with purpose and not by necessity.
