♥ Day 77 Mono Orange Juice ♥

Day 77 ♥
Now the funny thing is that when I went to bed last night (and yes, Jack did sleep in the bedroom too) I was so convinced that when I woke up it would be Jack for Breakfast.
But when I awoke...
...all I wanted was Orange Juice.
Certainly I could appreciate the beautiful sight (and smell) of Jack; fully tree-ripened and just in a perfect state to eat, but my desire was for Orange juice. And so here I am Day 77, and still merrily travelling along on the Orange Juice Train.

Cappi devoured the Jackfruit. He  Loves it, goes Jackfruit crazy.
But I sat beside him with my spoon and devoured my Orange juice.
I Love it still, and each Orange still has the capacity to surprise me with its own unique and individual flavour.
The Orange peel compost heap at the bottom of the garden has taken on the appearance of a strange Oange edifice, a large pyramid of peel and pith that pays homage to the Citrus Clan of the Orange juicers , and at the same time feeds a massive population of small black beetles.

With this stage seemingly of assimilation, and taking more Orange juice, my weight seems to have stabalised, and I have not lost any for the past few days.
My body fat is still around 5% and muscle mass is pretty similar to when I started out. These results are taken from my Tanita Body Moniter, and I have no way of knowing their true accuracy, but they do seem to be congruent with the way my body looks and feels.

Fruity Fare ♥
Morning - 16 Syrup Balls, juiced with a spoon
Midday - 11 Syrup Balls, juiced with a spoon
Afternoon 7 Valencias, juiced in my mouth.

Fruitful Exercise ♥
40 minutes fast walking
20 minutes leg and stomach exercises.

Day 45 Mono Orange Juice ♥

Day 45 ♥

I have not been weighing myself or recording any statistics so far on this diet, so I thought I would today.

These statistics are from my Tanita Inner Scan Total Balance scales.

Before I started, my 'normal'  weight was around 50kg (110lbs), and my Muscle mass is usually around 38.5kg (84lbs), while my body fat percentage is around 15%.

Today on day 45 here are my statistics:

Weight ♥ 44.5kg (98lbs)

Muscle Mass ♥ 40.1kg (88lbs)

Total Body Water Percentage ♥ 65.8% (Average for females, according to Tanita is 45–60%)

Body Fat Percentage ♥ 5%

Visceral fat Rating ♥ 1 (how much fat is around the vital internal organs rating goes from 1–59, where 1 is the least amount)

Metabolic Age ♥ 12 (not bad for a 43 year old!)

Bone Mass ♥ 2.1kg (4.6lbs) Where the  average given for women under  50kg (110lb) is  1.95kg (4.3lb).

So my muscle mass has not actually decreased but has risen slightly, while my body fat appears to be where the loss has taken place.

I am still really enjoying my Orange juice.

I feel well and loose in joint and limb, I have plenty of energy and I am not really tempted by any other fruit.

I have though put a Mango Cheek, from Cappi's special Mango tree in the freezer, so I can get to taste it when my Orange juice diet comes to an end.

Fruity Fare ♥

Morning—11 Biodynamic Oranges (of various sizes) juiced in my mouth.

Later on in the morning—10 Biodynamic Oranges (of varying sizes) juiced in my mouth

Afternoon—6 Biodynamic Oranges, juiced in my mouth.
