What was once common for me is now out of reach for a while. My meds have the potential side effects of “moon face, buffalo hump, and excessive weight gain, especially in the neck.” Additionally, Prednisone causes lethargy, muscle atrophy and bone loss. When the dosage is tapered enough that my moods aren’t swinging, I’ll reassert myself toward this one.

I was at about 13% when I thought of this goal. Then I got sick and lost a bunch of weight. Since then, I’ve been lazy, tired and haven’t had enough time to make it to the gym. And I still don’t have my full appetite back.
With all factors working against me, I was recently measured at 18.4% body fat. That is SO high for me, even though it’s within the acceptable “normal” range for my age. I feel fat, sluggish and so far off track.
The problem is that with my rapid weight loss, I’ve lost more muscle mass than anything else. Ugh. I’ve got a long road ahead and it’ll be an uphill battle till and through summer.
