So....looks like I'll be down to 'race weight' in 11.80 weeks, but not the way I intended
There is a gastro bug going around at the moment - and small children are hotbeds of infection, best avoided if possible.
Most of what you are losing at the moment is water, so as soon as you feel better and rehydrate, it will come back (not all of it but most of it). Lots of rest, clear fluids (Gastrolyte if the diarrhoea is really watery, or you are chucking heaps, coz you will be losing electrolytes and that will make you feel even worse), dry crackers, try and avoid dairy and other oily foods as well as spicy stuff for the next few days and did I mention get lots of rest.
