Right now I'm sort of grateful for covid (not really, but finding a silver lining) as it gives me a handy excuse to cancel anything if I'm feeling too tired or nauseous or would get caught. Last week I "had flu symptoms" to skip going for drinks to celebrate a former colleague's last day at work, and nobody questioned it. Yesterday I did a "normal" day at the office and meeting a friend, and after 9 hours of sleep I'm still a nauseous, exhausted mess this morning. I had made plans to go for an after-work walk with a friend, but made an excuse that with the worsening covid situation it would be wiser to do a phone call instead. Now I don't have to go to the office, and instead I can stay home in my pyjamas and nap during the workday.
If I continue feeling like this, I can also continue staying home, working and napping remotely, and hiding behind covid to keep this pregnancy a secret at work.2 -
This week has been nuts!!!3

@hipari I remember thinking everyone may know when I was pregnant. But they were all surprised when we told them. Especially my parents who had given up on us ever having kids!0

@Mrscanmore whoa, that was a big surprise for your parents then! I’m telling my mom today, but everyone else has to stay in the dark for a few weeks longer. My mom has had multiple miscarriages that she never talks about, but today is the day she has to share that family history so I have all the info before my first prenatal appointments.
In general, my family is so into wine and foods that pregnant women aren’t allowed, there’s practically zero chance I could hide anything through any family dinner/event. My mom’s birthday is in a few weeks and my sister suggested a champagne tasting, so that’s when we’ll tell her and her spouse. No point in ruining everyone else’s celebration, and no way I could hide at a literal alcohol tasting.2 -

Movement!! Yay!!. This has been a very slow journey. But slow still means I'll make it to the goal line. On to March.4 -
@boehle I’m with you on that need of vacation... I really need one, but it doesn’t look like traveling abroad is possible this summer, and my regular back-up of going sailing and drinking gin tonics on the boat deck is canceled too: no drinks, and I’ll probably have to skip any longer sailing trips too. My stomach will probably get too big to sail safely and comfortably, and going on a weeklong trip to a place with limited cell phone reception and a 2-day sail to nearest hospital seems like a bad idea during pregnancy.
When I was a kid, I lost a tooth while we were sailing and it was still attached to my braces, so it kinda ”wheeled” in place around the wire of the braces and I could only eat pureed food. We made it to a dentist’s office in probably 30 hours (sailed to a major coastal city), but it scarred me enough to make me avoid unnecessary risks of needing immediate medical care while on a remote island in the middle of the sea. Sailing along the coast and sticking to destinations with road access seems like a good idea this summer.0 -

Still spent the week playing catch up from last week’s storms. We had wind chill of -19 last week, then temps in the 80s this week! We lucked out and didn’t suffer any damage after the power came back. Grocery stores are still restocking and we again have limits on certain items. We’ve been finishing off the junk food we bought in the midst of the storm. I’m embarrassed but I’m going to put it out there: I ate a whole bag of family sized Oreos by myself. It’s something I don’t normally keep in the house because I don’t handle it well. But they’re gone now, and I need to refocus on better eating. Made some bad choices at a restaurant tonight also. I should have a routine schedule for the next few days and I’m committed to making progress in March.3 -

Hi team, I am days late and with bad results...
Monday weigh in
PW: 215.8
CW: 218
I just let my foot off the gas. I had not really being exercising because I am terrible at working out at home and it’s been freezing outside. However, I realized how much the workouts are for sanity and to help me stay motivated to eat right. Without them and the cold weather and COVID, it just was all too much.
On a positive note, I did a walking meditation over lunch yesterday to get some fresh air. I also went on an awesome run tonight since we are having fake spring weather!3 -

After taking a much longer break then intended I stepped on the scale to find out a gained back some weigh... quite a bit of what I had worked so hard to loose. Time to double time it and kick my butt in to gear. Looking forward to a better week. Quite disappointed in myself but motivated to improve.

Down .1 pounds Well it was bound to happen, weeks of loss, I started to work out, still eating on plan. My goal is still 134 by end of March. But I am needing to add exercise so when I go into maintenance I can burn calories. Also I am having to go back into the workplace in April and it will be tougher as I will have to prep a lot. Goal next week 1.5 pounds.3 -

What a whacky week!! Aunt Flo and my bday sooooooo I'll take it!!2 -
I am making the request for these changes0 -
Hi team!!!
My week off has been great. I am a little scared of the damage done, but it was nice to have a week of no stressing about food. My husband and I took a quick one night away in Asheville, NC. We just had breakfast. I had eggs Benedict and omg best Benedict EVER. We got dressed up for a fancy dinner last night, then creme brûlée for dessert.
Back on track as of NOW!!! We just discussed how heavy we have eaten this week and we both feel a little gross. Time to get back to healthy eating!!!
I will be weighing in as regular next Saturday.5 -

Your March Team Chat is open! Please finish up this week's weigh-ins here, and head over to the March thread for introductions and to get the new month rolling

I decided to weigh in... did so at 2 pm after 2 meals and much liquid. I was 176.6, so I am taking the liberty of posting 176.0.
I am doing this to avoid starting March when a huge gain. Bc I have had a “no holds barred” week, I am asking @jugar that if I have a top 3 loss next week, please skip over me bc if the damage this week 🤣🤣🤣
I’m pretty excited that the damage was under 5 pounds. Also, a decent amount of that will be sodium and carb bloat.
Cheers for a great March!!!!3 -
This chat thread is now closed - go ahead to March!
