Shrinking Assets - March 2021 Team Chat

My weekend plans are something I hope none of you have to do soon - I have to go clothes shopping for bigger clothes (maternity wear). Things are starting to get tight and I’m no longer comfortable laying on my stomach, so I want to get some new stuff while I still have something to wear while going to the stores.
I had a chat with one of my best friends yesterday, turns out she’s expecting too! She’s expecting her 2nd kid and due 2 months before me, so naturally I couldn’t help myself and shared the news even though I had planned on waiting until the 12-week sonogram. I had kinda guessed she might be pregnant, and turns out she had guessed I’m expecting too. Funny how things work, since we haven’t actually seen each other since January. Anyway, she had good tips on maternity wear and recommended online shopping, but I’ll go shop in person first to try things out and see how maternity clothes ”work”. I’m really happy for her, and also really happy that we’ll be on maternity leave the same time, so we have plenty of time for lunch dates, stroller walks etc.
My other weekend plans include catching up on work, sleep and vomiting - again, plans I hope none of you have to make. Today I stopped pretending I can get anything done and told my boss I’ll show up for meetings (online, ofc) and find a way to do the bare minimum that absolutely must get done to meet deadlines, but will call in sick for the rest of my hours unless things start to improve. Too bad March is crazy busy and riddled with critical deadlines, so I’ll have to try to catch up on the weekend. The nausea has been so bad I can’t sleep or sit upright without a wave of nausea, and it’s pretty impossible to focus on work when my stomach is trying to violently exit my body and I haven’t slep properly in days. Only 5 more days of trying to work, then I’m on vacation for 1.5 weeks and the nausea will hopefully ease by the time I return to work.2 -
Tomorrow is weigh day for me. I've been really trying to get my water in and move more. I'm telling myself that the scale is merely another data point (along with inches, how my clothes for, etc). This way I don't get overly invested in the number. I've not been sleeping well (only about 5 hours a night). I know sleep can effect your weight loss. We'll see....2

Wow sounds like you are having a really tough time! I hope the nausea passes soon. I went my whole pregnancy in tights lol. Not maternity just regular and bough some loose shirts/tunics to go with them. When I saw the prices for maternity stuff it gave me anxiety so I worked around it. I remember being dead to the world the whole first trimester, I would sleep anywhere and everywhere, just go with it and do it! U r making a human and u deserve a 100 naps in a day if that's what ur body wants. Lemons and sour cherries helped with nausea, have u tried them? Hope u feel better!0 -

Considering I went on a binge last weekend this is amazing loss lol. I had gained big time guys but then I did a 2 day cleanse instead of my usual 1 because i knew I need it and felt guilty about my bad choices. I was up almost 6lb Tuesday and that is ridiculous so after the 2 day cleanse I ended up with some loss.3 -

Well, if my weigh in day was Wednesday, I would have shown a loss. We had steaks last night and that always causes water weight gain for me for some reason. But I’m heartened by the loss on Wednesday, so knowing how my weight can fluctuate wildly during the week, I’m going to look at this positively. My current weight is my high for the week, and not the low it often is. And Wednesday’s weight was the lowest I’ve seen in a long time so I just have to keep pushing through this!

-2.2 pounds, I'll take it.
This whole weight loss journey has been up and down for me but your stories and posts have really inspired and helped me see this journey as a lifestyle change not a diet. Your weight on weigh day can easily depend on what you had for dinner the night before. Just like @cre804 said, steaks cause water weight gain for her so her Wednesday weight loss was not reflected in her Friday weigh-in. Doesn't mean she didn't lose it, just that Friday was not a good day to see it on the scale. If I have sashima and miso soup for dinner tonight, tomorrow my weight might be UP 2.2 lbs because of the salt content. So my Saturday weigh-in would be different from my Friday weigh-in.
I do love seeing the number come down on the scale but I take it with a grain of salt and just keep pushing on. Next week is another week. Good luck all!3 -
Quick message from me as I've been floored with baby this week. Only just stopped for day and it's bedtime 😭

Another week with no loss but I do realize that I have been up and down with my daily intake. I really need to buckle down for the next few months in order to hit my goal weight

Thanks, Jane! Cherries aren’t available in my corner of the world this time of the year, but lemons have been my number one craving! Not doing much to help the nausea though, but I just crave them. I’ve literally squeezed lemon juice on dry crackers and enjoyed that as a snack, and this week we made lemon risotto that was too sour for my husband to eat, I still put extra lemon juice on my plate (and ate his portion too, since he was unable to). The only thing that seems to help with nausea is constant snacking, to the point of my day including 3 naps, 10 hours of sleep at night and 9 meals/snacks + a midnight snack if I happen to wake up during the night. Without the night snack, and even with it, mornings are race to make it out of bed and into the breakfast table before my stomach gets up and exits on its own.
We’re currently in a month-long lockdown and the timing is really convenient, I have some control over my work schedules so I can nap during the day and don’t have to try looking like a human. I’m still hoping to get some energy to look and feel human during my second trimester (and hopefully restrictions ease for the summer), so i’d like to get some nice clothes that fit me.0 -

Down -0.2 Going on 3 weeks holding here, 140 is normally where I would stop but this time I am looking at 135.
@bigblues11 I am right there with you, need to buckle down over the next few months to get to my goal. We can do it. I have been upping my steps every week, last week was 7000, next week 8000. So maybe my body is just adjusting.

I have tracked today - first time in a while.
I did do a 5k trail run today...
I’m on the left. The right is my ex husband’s wife 🤣.

NSV - Today was my mom's 88th birthday. My two sisters and I made dinner for her and my 93 year old dad - roast chicken, broccoli and mashed potatoes with gravy. My sister also bought a cake. I passed on the potatoes and cake. I was fine with chicken, broccoli and a tall glass of water. I'm so proud of myself.2
