Weight Loss

As my weight loss continues I still don't know why. At this point I have lost 10% of my body mass (in 5 months) and though most of it is fat (yippee!) some of it is muscle :(. so no more excuses I'm going to the gym. I'm also signing up for a soccer team but that will be more problematic with the weight loss as it is largely cardio.

I'll be honest I don't mind the weight loss at all (other than the muscle) and if I were trying I would be thrilled but the nutritionist was a little more worried than I would have liked mostly because this is completely unintentional and well there were a few more reasons that I won't get in to at the moment but she was as worried about the fat as the muscle due to my situation. So if I loose a few more pounds I have to go to the doctor. My ideal would be to gain about 5-10 pounds of muscle and not gain back the fat or failing that I would like to be stable where I am.

In the mean time I need to keep a food journal to bring to her on monday to see if I am really pigging out like I think I am. Now I have never done well with food journals because

1) I'm not good at estimating food intake and it's a pain to measure stuff out so often I think well I really don't want to bother so I don't eat.

2) I am very self conscious about what I eat especially when I think that I am constantly eating it doesn't matter how well I think I am eating.

3) I don't always want to admit to what I eat (we all have our shamefull secrets like the dark chocolate hidden at my desk)

4) Lets be honest I loose them unless they are on the computer and if they are I forget to do them... though this is only 3 days so I shouldn't loose it...

It is only a few days so I should manage to pull it off and still eat like "normal" wish me luck I really do need her to see what is really going on so she can give me better advice, nutritionist's are like doctors if you only give them part of the picture they give you crappy information. on the plus side I'm really looking forward to my omelet this weekend even though I have to write it down! In the mean time I hope this stabilizes soon as I really need new clothing.
