Elemental fist miss

[Sjommieboy]

A monk with let's say 3 elemental fists a day. If I announce an elemental fist and proceed to miss, do I only have two left after that or do I keep it for later?

Thanks in advance!

Elemental Fist (Combat)

You empower your strike with elemental energy

Prerequisites: Con 13, Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +8.
Benefit: When you use Elemental Strike pick one of the following energy types: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. On a successful hit, the attack deals damage normally plus 1d6 points of damage of the chosen type. You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). You may attempt an elemental fist attack once per day for every four levels you have attained (see Special), and no more than once per round.

you only have 2 left

That is the correct rules ruling. But I would talk to your GM about making it not expend when you miss. I've GMed for many Monks and that and several other tweaks have helped to make the class feel more balanced and fun.
