Losing weight from not working out.

Losing weight from not working out.I can't and have not been able to workout for 1 month. I've lost 10lbs partly from not eating as much, but I'm wondering at what point I've started losing muscle too. Also, Does anyone have any ideas on what I can to do stay "active"? Here's my predicament below: I am an avid athlete. Trail running, swimming, surfing, mountain biking, lifting, cross fit etc. I had a nose surgery a month ago and was not able to workout for 2 weeks. As soon as I was given the go by my surgeon I went back to lifting lightly (not cross fit) and swimming. 5 days in I got pneumomediastinum which is essentially abnormal presence of air in the middle of the chest, between the lungs. I'm not sure if it's related to the surgery, the timing is strange, regardless I am back to not working out. I was told to avoid any chest or abdominal pressure. I go on walks now, but when I'm out of breath my chest begins to hurt. I'm bored out of my mind & recommendations would be appreciated. submitted by /u/thisisduckinggreat [link] [comments]
