Day #9 weigh-in: 120.6. Same as yesterday, but I didn’t get any exercise yesterday either. When I tested my pH level this morning, both urine and saliva indicated a pH level of 6.6, which falls far short of the ideal reading of 7.4. So, I’ll need to tip the balance of my food intake to more alkaline foods this week
