Day 74 ♥
My oh my today was a corker !
There is one little wholefood store on the Sunshine Coast that has the smallest, the sweetest, the most syrupy of all the Syrup Balls.
And today was the day to visit that store.
I had already had my usual three meals of juice, when we returned home with bags of sweet Syrup Balls
(For those of you who have not been following this Orange Juice Train, Syrup balls are particularly small and sweet Late Season Valencias. Less than half the size of a standard Valencia, they tend to get left behind on the shelf. A kind of Cinderella Orange, deceptively clothed in not the glitziest of skin—but pure sweet beauty beneath the cinders).
So whilst the Syrup Balls are often left 'on the shelf' by those who opt for 'Bigger is Better', this little Orangeophile is one gal who really appreciates them.
So when we arrived home, I couldn't wait to taste their sweetness, and then I did not want to stop my Syrup Ball Feast. And because I juice each one individually with a spoon, the feast lasted a nice amount of time. And I just felt so good and happy and warm afterwards.
Pure Golden Nectar ♥
I am finding that the last week my appetite for Orange juice has increased.
And I think that after a stage of elimination, then there may be a stage of assimilation. So it may be that after doing some deeper elimination, my body now is in more of an assimilation stage, and there is a need for a greater quantity of juice.
I am listening to my body on this mono diet, and the needs it has and I am trying to go with the flow as it were.
That is one reason why I did not finish the mono diet, as I had intended to on day 60.
There was a need to continue.
And now I really am taking it day-to-day.
I could finish tomorrow, or I could not. It is open-ended when it will end ♥
I really appreciate all the lovely positive comments and support I have had here ♥
I am very grateful and wish to thank you all for your companionship during this Orange Juice train ride.
It has been one of the best journeys of my life, and a great deal of fun too ♥
♥ Thank You ♥

Hi, Anne. . .
I have to admit I was wondering a bit about the small amounts you were seeming to take in, especially since I am smaller than you and eat more! However, I do understand better now, and glad to see how well you are listening to your body. I know that I often eat for reasons other than being hungry and I sometimes overeat. It is all a bit tricky, to get completely free from other influences and give your body exactly what it needs in any moment.
This post has been very helpful and thought-provoking for me. Thank you so much! ♥
Love,
Julie ♥
Anne, I am so taken with your appreciation of fruit: your sense of wonder and delight with it makes me smile. ♥
And thank you for taking the time to share the books you are enjoying reading. I recently began reading Dick Gregory's "Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat" and it's wonderfully smart and entertaining. :)
I so appreciate your sharing your Orange Juice journey with us. ♥Kim
Dear Julie ♥
Thank you for your comment ♥
There are many factors, it seems, that can affect the body's communication of needs.
But an unprocessed raw diet, I feel, gives us a great opportunity to find out our true needs for optimal health and happiness ♥
Thank you for stopping by.
Much Love to you XX.
Dear Kim ♥
Thank you vey much for your comment.
I hope you enjoy Dick Gregory's book. As far as I know Dick Gregory is still an active voice for health.
I saw a recent video of him, made by PETA, where he speaks out about factory farming.
Have a Beautiful day ♥

(Deleted the first comment because I misspelled syrup! lol!)
Dear Connie ♥
Thank you for your comment ♥
I wish I could float you a Syrup Ball across the Pacific Ocean, but methinks a Mermaid would get to it first!
