A GAIN OF 0.6 kg or 1.3 lbs

.

We are currently dancing a ceremonial jig of joy! Quite ungainly but who cares? It would appear that we have finally begun to get the measure of this. After this week we have a little more understanding of what sort of amounts, calorie-wise, must be consumed. And the real battle will be overcoming the mental hurdle to not just maintain, but gain again next week.

Yesterday's visit to Cotswold House has hopefully given Lizzie even more incentive to stick at this. Much as the work that the staff do there and the care that is provided is second to none, let's face it - it doesn't match up to lunch out on the deck at home! Our target is to gain a minimum of 1 lb per week. That's half what would be expected in hospital so it's certainly achievable. Let's hope the motivation remains... the physical task of eating will only get easier so it's purely a battle of wills between Lizzie and the gremlin.

To all you lovely sponsors... hold your horses!! The deal was that any pounds gained had to be maintained for at least a week before they counted as a proper gain, so keep those comments of encouragement rolling in. Fingers crossed it's beginning to work!
