Any Diet Details?
I had a stomach bug the month we conceived, so wasn't eating as much as I usually do -- I actually lost a few pounds. However, I tried my best to eat plenty of protein and meats, lots of healthy fats and fruits and veggies, and not restrict myself in any way (but not go crazy over-eating, either).
Any Diet Comments/Additional Info?
During the 2 ww, I also tried to eat frequently, lots of carbs and high-sugar things to keep my general BS elevated.
WEIGHT AND EXERCISE
What did you weigh/BMI do leading up to O?
Weight dropped slightly by a pound or two the month we conceived. I wasn't measuring on a scale, but could tell by the way my clothes were fitting. Weight is approximately 125-128 lbs.
Any Weight/Exercise related additional info/comments?
Exercise routine unchanged, I am an avid runner and stuck with it, running approximately 3-4 times a week, anywhere from 4-6 miles each time.
