so I come back from Spring Break -- I'm now officially 10 pounds lighter (thank you booze and food poisoning) and almost 10 pounds weaker on bench -- what's going on here? did i throw up all of my muscle mass?

aggh, what an agonizing (and demorazling) way to spend the day at the gym to lower all my weights

I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

It was probably water weight that you lost. And if you were sick, of course you're going to be a little weaker than you were before. You should see about getting rehydrated and building back up to whatever you could lift before. Take care of your body before you really screw yourself over.

Anytime I go on vacation, I usually lose about ten pounds, and I am not "spring break" vacationing, but rather diving. Probably something to do with the amount of time in a weightless environment....

Or something to do with travel time. You're just sitting there, after all.

Maybe your bod's burning fat faster to keep itself warm for all that time you're underwater?

Rodney

As somebody else said, it's mostly water weight you've lost. And if you really had food poisoning, you're body's still recovering. Going down 10 pounds on bench after being sick is nothing. Live clean and get your rest and keep working out, and you'll be back where you were soon enough.

Dehydrated. and thats that.. are you better already?
