Today I wen in for my monthly nutritionist appointment. We talked about my diet and how I was feeling, reviewed my macro intake and took measurements.
After some calculations, turns out 6 of the 11 pounds I lost last month were muscle.
I've been lifting two times a week. Can't seem to find the time to do an extra day between my extra activities (studying for the CFA, beach tennis two times a week and walks two times a week, therapy two times a week and a more than full time job). Also, don't really feel like paying more in gyms (I pretty much pay for each class, not a traditional membership).
The nutritionist said that I need more carbs and less fat and alcohol, which would prevent further muscle loss.
The thing is... I just feel defeated. I feel like I've been trying so hard and yet I've came up short. AGAIN. I don't want to exercise, I don't want to keep the adjusted diet (cutting some fats). Shit. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. I don't want to go through another month of deprivation just to loose more muscle that I'll need to gain back later. Shit. I'm just venting at this point. I need to loose at least another 30 pounds before I'm at a healthy BMI, so quitting is just not an option.
Guess I'll push through.
