Doesn't even look like I lost fat, just muscle and water.
I love the depression meme. I am typing this while lying in bed because I can't even sit up at my computer unless I drink absurd amounts of coffee to make me restless, then I can use video games as escapism and won't feel depressed or anxious while focused on them
Is gaining muscle and strength back REALLY easier if you had it already in the past and then lost it? Don't want to bother getting it back if I can just lose it again in a couple weeks like this. Not that I am going to bother right now, but just wondering for if I ever start lifting again
oo
If you start lifting again, it will probably only take about half the time to regain the lost strength compared to the time you spent gaining it the first time.
Retaining muscle even in long periods of inactivity is possible, but you have to eat.
The good news for you is the cell nuclei from all the muscle you spent time building are still there. So rebounding should be easy.

They don't simply disappear just because your muscles atrophy.
