I will start off by saying, my scale is suspect to begin with, at least 12yo and we have had issues with it anyway. So we just ordered another one...
BUT according to the scale, I gained a pound and a half this past week?! I highly, highly doubt that, but that’s what it says. It’s also the same exact weight as I was two weeks ago, so if anything, maybe last week’s weight was wrong?
I weigh myself every Saturday, first thing in the morning when I get up, after I go in the bathroom, before I even have any water or anything. I find it’s easier to see weight trends week to week vs daily and saves much disappointment when the numbers aren’t moving day to day.
So it’s two things either way: #1 I gained 1.5lbs in a week (much less likely) or #2 I haven’t lost any weight in two weeks. Neither one of those is that great, I think.
I have exercised for 60 minutes or more (up to almost 70min some days) for the past week. Last week I thing I had two days off, and 5 days of 60+ min exercise. The week before that, I only took one day off.
Today is the start of week 7 on the LE Diet. I’ve been doing very well with the diet and have no problems sticking to the limits — BUT, I’ve been at the upper limits. I was afraid to drop too low and stop ovulation, but that doesn’t seem to be an issue at all. I had a pretty textbook cycle last month with O on day 16 and my normal 13 day LP. I just finished my period earlier this week and I’ve already had EWCM since CD10 (today is CD12). So, it doesn’t appear that my cycles or O are being affected.
I went back and looked at my totals for the last few weeks. My calorie totals have been consistently between 1650-1750, but most days right around or just slightly above 1700. My fat totals have been between 54-60g, with most days up closer to 60g. (I’m not worried about protein at all - I have a good amount of cheese and I have beans in the rotation so I’ve had no problems meeting the 40-50g limits.)
Also the calorie totals all included a glass and a half of wine, or a hard seltzer. So maybe I’m just having too much fat? I have been taking fiber about a half hour before meals as well.
I’m thinking at this point, it’s time to cut back a little? Maybe no more than 1600 calories and 40g of fat? Or should I go lower? Any thoughts?
