Week 1: Mid-week update
We are officially on day 3 of the diet plan. As a precaution I've been weighing Nadia too to make sure she's still getting enough to eat. The weights on Sunday were 12.6lbs and 10lbs. The following day, Sylvia remained the same (which is actually an improvement because she's gained every time I've weighed her), and Nadia dropped to 9.8lbs, so I started adding a small handful of dry food to the wet. Today she remained at 9.8lbs and Sylvia (fanfare please) lost .2lbs dropping to 12.4lbs! That actually puts her at her weekly limit for weight loss so I just need to maintain this weight throughout the rest of the week, but I'm pleased that the portions I tried out seem to be pretty spot on.
"Where'd the everlasting magical food dish go?"
The scale I got on ebay.
"And why exactly do I have to be on a diet?"
An old picture, proof of concept. Sylvia used to be just as svelte as Nadia. This was one of their first playtimes together.
Things are going pretty good as far as the feeding though. They're pretty antsy from 7-8 but that's to be expected, I don't think I'm starving them. And they wait fairly patiently (Sylvia moreso than Nadia) for me to portion it out. We'll see where we're at at the end of the week.
