Also got this chart from my natural nutritionist. She said that I eat too many foods high in acid and I should be aiming for more alkaline foods to make my stomach acid balanced because I have some leaky gut issues. She said 60-70% alkaline and the rest acid.. I didn’t even know this was a thing. I thought I should share!3

I was hoping to be greatly under my calories today but I just was so ravenous when it came time to eat I almost ate over my limit in one sitting. I think I’m more of a snack all day kinda girl..
@_ecofeminist I wasn't an OMAD person at first either, it took time and I didn't just go straight for it either, I slowly started taking away hours in my eating window and it really got easier when I decided to eat at lunch time instead of dinner. I skip breakfast have a good lunch and then I'm jut not hungry the rest of the day...also helps if you keep yourself busy...1 -
@SLIMn2016 Man, that looks so good. I'm adding chinese to the list of celebratory foods I'm going to eat on Nov 18th when my competition is over. Also on the list, fried chicken and candy corn.

For all of you who like to do workouts at home. Check out Sean Vigue on YouTube. Lots of Yoga, strength, core, he has lots of different ones. And no equipment other than your favorite mat needed. Sense of humor and upbeat. One of my favorites.
Thank you! I'm going to look into this. I could use some more core work.0 -

That was interesting.... looking at that list makes sense to me now---my son was having bad GI issues in the past and he gravitated naturally to many of the foods listed there as alkaline foods.0 -

I haven't eaten friend chicken in years... in the meantime my two boys thrive on Chik-fil-a spicy fried chicken sandwiches now and then.... I need to catch a bite of one of those babies--

Comments: Today a random woman in my strength training class approached me and said "wow, I could wear your shirt as a dress."
Hmmm... I was holding a heavy weight in my hand--she is very lucky she walked away safely Really though--- is that nice?! UGH. I mean she was petite and I'm 5'8"---still. I'd never say that to anyone. ok rant over---LOL
On a sad note...today is the anniversary of my Father's passing (he passed away before I had children a year after I married)...so I get somber and sad and I have to NOT eat those sad feelings. Emotional days like these are hard.
Hugs to anyone who needs them today---
@SLIMn2016 I can't even imagine saying that to someone, who the hell would do that? Like seriously WTF. I woudn't have been nice to her, probably starting with something like "People like you are what's wrong with the world...."
Also, I feel for you. A few years ago I lost my Great-Grandma (the only grandparent I ever really had) and September is a hard month for me. I try to think about what she'd want for me, and I'd think that she'd want me not to be sad and eat myself into the ground, so instead I have a nice little chat with her, I'd like to believe that she can hear me and that helps me get through it. Man, sitting here writing this, my eyes are just filling with tears
Hang in there, it's hard, I know.1 -
@ssssanaaaa inspired me to make and share this riced cauliflower dish! Sweet & sour shrimp and veggies...
One word: YUM!1 -

What that woman said was completely uncalled for. Some people really need to get their inner filter checked.
And I'm sure it didn't help with the sad feelings you already are trying not to eat.... however, it may have fueled your workout a little more!
Yeah actually I did lift a bit easier today-zumbaforever wrote: »
You are a bigger person than I am. Lord help me but I would have said something back, and it would not be for the faint of heart. And she probably would have been wearing my shirt, around her neck. Oops sorry, as I said, you are a much nicer person than I am.
I hope today ends on a happy note for you and that you were able to get through it without binging. And whatever you do, do not let her take away your enjoyment of your weight class.
thanks for the laugh... you're too funny. I did contain myself, just so I could remain in that class-- it was tough though. Thank you 
I'm drinking my weight in decaf green tea right now... hopeful that works. 2 -

That is very interesting! I hear a lot about the “gut” causing all our problems! Thanks for the list!

Tracking: yes
Calories: yes
Exercises: 35 minutes of Zumba! Supposed to be 50 minutes but they started late and had announcements. A bit annoying as I wanted the full 50 minutes! Hoping for a loss tomorrow on my weigh-in day, but peaked and so far no! Fingers crossed!5 -

Dinner looks delicious!
As for the lady, she must have been insecure about herself or something. I don't even understand what the point of saying that is.
Also, I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is hard, I know.

Daily post: Wednesday
Track: Yes.
Calories: Under.
Exercise: None. I will tomorrow afternoon.
Water: ~2.5 liters
Comments: 184.9 on the scale today (was 185.6 yesterday
). Thank goodness that went down. So I guess that means it really was just water retention from the salty food. I just realized tomorrow is my weigh-in day! Hope the scale goes down a little more since I'm under calories today too but we'll see. I have an EXAM tomorrow so wish me luck and send me prayers Really been studying hard this past week so hopefully it shows! 4 -

Lost power for a few hours, but thankful we didn't get the full brunt of the hurricane. Feel bad for the people in Florida that were hit the hardest. I've been there when Hurricane Hugo (Cat 4) hit us hard in 1989 that devastated Charleston. The aftermath looked like a war zone.
