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.

@Beka3695 @boehle hey captains! Could you please move my weigh in day for March please? I would like to switch to a Wednesday weigh in x

@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.

Hi Shrinking Assets ... You have a new member heading your way ... Please welcome @janek1705

@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.

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.

Hi team, I am days late and with bad results...

Monday weigh in

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!

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.

Saturday check in

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.

I am making the request for these changes

I second @boehle about the toes in the sand!!! Let’s all meet up on that pretend beach! Till then, let’s post weigh ins!!!
