I lost 5 lbs this week.
Thanks, morning sickness/all day nausea.
I haven't seen the inside of my gym in over a week.

Re: I lost 5 lbs this week.

kat - we had one last Thursday, where we saw the sac and a little tiny fetus. The doctor (and his colleagues) thought he saw a heartbeat, but didn't want to confirm, since it was so early. They said on Thursday I was measuring ahead at 6 weeks, 2 days.
I have another ultrasound this Friday, then another the following Wednesday (this Friday's is mostly to check for growth - I know there might not be a heartbeat this early.) The follow Wednesday would put me at 8 weeks and the doctor said we should see a heartbeat by then. (It's the worst wait of my life - I just want to knoooooow!)
I've called the doctor's office and tried all of their natural remedies (ginger candy/chews, ginger ale, small frequent meals, carbonated beverages, walks in the fresh air, b6, etc.) The nurses/doctors don't want to give me a prescription because I'm not vomiting or missing work (though getting through the work day suuuuuuuucks.) They said if it comes to that, then they will.

yay for a good ultrasound so far! I'm sure Friday's will be just as great, although I know how flipping hard it is to wait.
The best thing short of prescription meds I found was unisom + b6. Half a unisom in the morning and at night with b6 throughout the day. It's what got me through my pregnancy with Marion.

Been there, done that! I took about 5 weeks off from exercise in first tri because I was so nauseous. If it makes you feel better, though, I got back into CrossFit somewhere around week 11 and it's been completely fine since. Sure, I'm not as strong or as fast as I was pre-pregnancy, but I'm out there moving which is what matters.
FWIW, I think the no Zofran/B6/Unisom thing is total crap. There is absolutely no freaking reason you should have to feel like this. Those meds are extremely safe and were the only thing that kept me functional. Have you mentioned your extreme weight loss to them?
two years!

Brie - I follow your blog and honestly, it was comforting to read how you took time off but then were able to get back into your workouts. It gives me hope, ha!
I haven't mentioned the extreme weight loss yet because on Friday, it was only 3 lbs. Yesterday, 4 lbs. But this morning, it was 5 (granted, I know I'm lighter in the morning, so I want to see what it does as the day goes on.)
