I've been sick for about a month and haven't been able to workout hardly at all (probably 3-4 times in this past month, counting today!). For the last 2 weeks I haven't worked out AT ALL and today was my first day back because I was so sick.
During that time I lost a lot of weight, much more than normally (I basically had no appetite either) and I'm worried that some of it might be muscle? If you've been lifting regularly and then take about a month break, can you already start to lose muscle?
Today during my workout it was HARD, really, really hard and I did less reps than normal (8 instead of 10) and one less set than normal (2 vs 3). I kept the weight about the same as what I normally do. I haven't been this tired after a workout in a long time! Granted, I'm still sniffling a bit but otherwise I feel like I'm back to normal, so could it just mean that I've lost some muscle in this past month?
