A Bit of Frustration

Physically I have been feeling pretty good lately. Still tired, and will probably continue to feel that way until I get my sleep study done. Regardless, I have been feeling pretty good and have noticed how I feel after I eat certain foods that I used to eat enmass. The other day, I was in a crunch for time and had to get my calorie intake up and so I stopped by The Feed Store for soup and a sandwich. I had the Wisconsin Cheese soup and hero sandwich. Needless to say I felt like crap after I ate it. The quality of food I eat definitely has an effect on how I feel. The healthier to the food, the better I feel throughout the day. This is a good thing. :)

So with all the changes I have made in my nutrition, and the exercise I have lost 5 lbs in one week. I found this out in my first weigh in last night. I was really excited until I got the bad news. 3.5 lbs of the 5 lbs I lost was MUSCLE LOSS. My excitement turned to disappointment in the blink of an eye. How the hell did I lose muscle, and not fat!? My trainer told me not to worry about the first weigh in. We will get a better picture as we get more weigh ins and we see a trend in my weight loss. Right now at a glance, it appears its my lack of calorie intake. I'm supposed to have over 4k calories per day. I'm getting no where near that right now. I'm at least getting over 2k easy every day, but my carbs and protein intake is still low. Mostly my protein, which most likely is the culprit. Well see how things go by next week's weigh in.
