Like the others wrote, your menus look fine but check on your portion sizes and add some dairy in. Are you having some good fats each day too?
And, as others mentioned it could be water weight fluctuations. Those can vary widely from day to day and especially around your monthly time.
Also (and this is important) when beginning a carb reduction/junk elimination type eating plan you lose a lot of water weight. Often in the second week or so your body is rebalancing its fluids and the scale may go up a bit or stay the same. Don't be alarmed.

1/2 c. of peas are allowed in PH2. I don't think that would contribute to the week 2 gain.
Re: your exercise...it may be a little too much for PH1. Usually you need more carbs which you will get when you start PH2. Not saying you need to back off or change anything but maybe your body didn't get enough fuel?
Sounds like you're doing great. Let us know how the continuing weeks are going.
