Oh dear...I am meant to be swaying pink shortly yet I have recently gained weight instead of losing it. As I am an older Mum I have been trying to eat healthy and follow the ATomic Fertility Diet, but I was worried about my health prior to Christmas and was losing weight so over Xmas I deliberately ate more to make sure I could gain weight and maintain it, which clearly I have done. I was 8.5 stone just after Xmas but yesterday when I stood on scales it went to 8.8 and I nearly fell of the scales in fright. Lol! I have been a bit slack with exercising as I have recently been unwell and on medication (Flagyl) and probiotic. Atomic - what should I do Hun? I'm completely stressing about my girl sway now as I feel like I'm doing nothing. I haven't been taking ubiquinol for even 30 days yet, I haven't been exercising enough lately (partly because haven't felt that well and also because it's Summer school holidays so been busy entertaining the kidlets). I have still been taking 2000mcg folic acid and Elevit every second day or 3 times a week. I've cut down bread, pasta, fats and sugar. The Specialist I saw yesterday (gastroenterologist) told me to cut down on fats and minimal sugar in diet to help with my parasitic bowel infection, so I'm thinking this will play in my favour for girl sway? I also have to continue taking a strong probiotic so will that help as well? I don't eat much meat anyway - I eat mainly chicken and have red meat once a week. Is smoked salmon OK to eat as that is the only way I like salmon? Is it too late for me to start exercising more now? I'll be due for AF to arrive on maybe the 21st Jan (that will mean I will O sometime in first week of Feb). Or should I hold off til early March? Sorry for all the questions. I guess this is like a last minute panic. Plus DH has given me only ONE chance to get it all right.
