Randi's Road to Wellness Lead by Faith

I have tracked my food daily and I've done ok. This weekend we went out of town and it was a total mess. I ate out 3 days in a row, and did not pick healthy options. I gained a whopping 6 freaking pounds and I don't fit into my clothes!!!! Even my underwear are tight!! I know this is from the 10-15 punds I gained while on the fertility meds, and then eating out caused extreme bloat, plus the progesterone surge is causing me to bloat as well as the hormone relaxin slowing digestion causing extra bloat as well. So I look pregnant before I am showing!!! Its been extremely uncomfortable the past 3 days! And all of last week I felt very bloated. My goal for this week is to decrease bloat and take off those 6 pounds of water and hopefully fit my clothes a bit more properly!

I am not concerned with keto during pregnancy, but I would like to be as close to low carb paleo as possible. I would like to stay no more than 100g of carbs and ideally around 60g. I would like to get up to 100g of protein a day. Fat is flexible not really concerned with how much. But obviously getting a good dose of healthy fats. For calories I just want to stay under 2000.  I'm really trying to get in my food based supplements, and taking extra vitamin D and DHA omega 3s. I am working on a steady intake of ginger tea to ward off nausea, and I am trying lots of lemon water to help with the bloating. Especially in these early weeks. Trying to get in as much veggies and fruits as I can f...

Ok folks I was wrong! I took just 1 more test on the day of my missed period and I'M PREGNANT!!!! Thank you Lord!!!!!!! Praying for health and safety of this baby, especially in these early weeks! Baby Randall #2 due September 7th!
