I gained 1.6 pounds of the 3+ pounds I had lost last week. I figured I'd gain some of that back because last week I had basically fasted one day for the surgery and the following day I didn't eat much. And 3+ pounds was a lot to lose in one week and not normal for my body. I can't say I am not disappointed though. It was encouraging to see the 170's, even if just for a brief week.
My calories last week averaged out at 1691 per day, average. I'm wondering if I should try to lower my calorie intake, and if so, how? How does one still get 25 net carbs but not the calories to go with it? All I can figure is adding in more vegetables, maybe lowering fat intake?
For the nuts/seeds ladder I have added in raw almonds and natural peanut butter. I'm only having that maybe 2 days of the week, so not a lot. I don't think that is the problem (or that there necessarily is even a problem). I will add in raw sunflower seeds this week. I was thinking of not adding in any new food because of the weight gain, but I really don't think it's an issue.
I haven't gotten back to exercising yet. I'm waiting until after my appointment with my surgery doctor which will be this coming Friday. This past Saturday I really wasn't feeling well, and in the morning was having some abdominal pain. It subsided and I was just really tired later that day. Then Sunday morning I actually went back to bed in the morning and slept another 2 hours, which is unheard of for me. So I feel like my body is still trying to heal, and I want to give her that time.
On a positive note, yesterday morning when I was figuring out what to wear to the Spiritual Center I go to, I thought to try on a few skirts that were in my "too small to wear yet" closet. Lo and behold I fit into 3 skirts and about 5 shirts and one dress (I actually have to have some of that dress taken in as it's too big). So that was encouraging at least.
Well, that's it for today.
