Do You Know Where My Energy Is?


I'm so lethargic today, and have been for the last several days. I've made sure to get plenty of sleep, but yesterday I actually went back to bed at 11 am and slept for two hours. I haven't done that since I was pregnant or getting up all night with a newborn.

This is all coming as my energy should be on the upswing with my increased exercise. I've not been crazy with the workouts, it's not like I'm spending hours and hours exercising - just three times this week. But here I am again this afternoon feeling like I could totally put my head down and be out cold in minutes.

I'm getting enough protein, I think. I haven't cut caffeine. I am just so, so tired.

Tomorrow kicks off a girls' weekend with my two best friends from college. We're going to the chocolate spa at the Hotel Hershey. I. Can't. Wait.

  1. Well you better get your energy level up for a girls' weekend. They are the best. Please let me know how the chocolate spa is. I have a gift certificate to go there that I need to use. Have fun!

  3. I'm totally with you! I haven't been supplementing my vitamins, so I've decided to get on that and see if it helps.

    I just got up from a 3 hour nap after a 8 hour night of sleep.

  6. You should have your dr check you blood! Do a full check up! Maybe lacking some vitamins!

  7. Maybe the caffeine in the chocolate will energize you. I think I would just lick my body if it was covered in chocolate. Just saying!

  8. Have a great weekend - hopefully it will recharge you. My sister has gone to the Hotel Hershey many times and said it's great.

  9. I agree --- check for vitamin deficiency. It is really common with lap band patients. I was iron and vitamin D deficient.

  10. Maybe you're just fighitng off a cold or something. Sometimes that's how it manifests itself for me. Or maybe you're a little anemic? I know lack of energy is a symptom of low iron. Hope you feel on the up and up for your weekend. Sounds so so so nice!
