OMG listen to this woman I thought I was going to die when I chatted to Sassy on Sunday she suggest my main problem was no carbs was she ever right. Amazing what 100g of carbs will do for you like a new lease on life. LOL
What!!!! After all that you better keep your butt in gear, you have 3 weeks left to do this for you... or you can be like everyone else and never obtain their goals and feel sorry for yourself!!! Don't be dumb... Push through!!!
I am so sorry you feel so crappy. I know that sucks. It is so tough to feel overwhelmed and unmotivated. I hope things get better - whether that means a diet change, a carb up day, or whatever.
On your diet (and goals) I am a little confused. A lot of this is my assuming some things, so correct me if I am wrong.
You competed, had to take a break post-comp, maybe gained a little weight/fat back and was unhappy. You re-dedicated yourself, got a new diet and training program. Now you want to gain 10 lbs more muscle for next year's comp season.
I guess I am confused WHY you are so low on carbs if you are training to GAIN muscle. Your body needs energy (carbs) to fuel the workouts/training required to gain muscle. Typically, a muscle-gaining diet is not seriously carb restricted. Not a free-for-all, but not really low carb. Why does your trainer have your carbs so low right now?
