How quickly do you lose muscle mass? I'm seeing a pattern with my weight. On weekends I rest and let myself have one cheat meal. Despite not working out and extra calories I lose 2-3 pounds and then Monday-Wednesday I gain or stay flat. By friday I'll drop 2-3 pounds again.

Can my weekend weight loss be lost muscle mass? It would explain why I gain once I get back to working out.

No, you body fluctuates in weight around 5 lbs a day sometimes, depending on several factors like when and what you eat. No way you drop muscle mass like that over the weekend, you'd be dead or Justin Bieber.

First night back in the gym started great, warm tingles all over the place. But then I got tired really fast. :-(

It'll get better.  Good job getting back.  I've known too many (including myself) who took time off and than it became a year or two...not so good.

 

Good job!

No.  Muscles don't work like that.  Muscle mass doesn't just go away.  Water in the muscles, may.  Atrophy takes a longer period.  If you're losing strength over the weekend than you need to check your diet and you just weren't that strong to begin with - sorry to burst your bubble.

No joke.  I wrestled in High School, was pretty damn good, too.  We would often check our weight like stupid kids and throughout the day we would watch ourselves gain and lose weight for no reason.  At all.  I lost 14 lbs. in one day when I was 5 lbs. overweight.  Turns out I was just holding some water and by the time of the match I was done.

Great workout yesterday.

 

I already had it in my mind I was going to splurge on something sweet last night. Went to the grocery store, I got chocolate chip cookies from the deli, hubby got oreos. Chocolate chip cookies weren't good for some reason! So i ate like a bazillion Oreos, which made me so sick that I threw up. 

 

Just thought I'd share that lovely little story with you guys.

Squats were tough today, too. Dang, I was only off 12 days! Feel like I've been set back a couple of months.

I've noticed if I miss 5 straight days it's a pain in the ass coming back.

Haha been there done that!

I always splurge on Sundays and sooooooometimes Saturdays too, depends how much cardio I did the previous week. But I've easily put away a bag of fudgee-o's or Oreo's on a Sunday as an appetizer, so don't feel bad. I literally try to eat as much crap as I can on Sundays so that I don't even want to look at junk food for the next week. Seems to work for me, I hammer cardio Monday and by Tuesday I feel fine again!
