Some advice please.
I had put gym kit out this morning with full intentions to exercise this evening.
I'm feeling so tired all the time! I mean 'dog'tired to the point I cannot keep my eyes open. Needless to say got home from work, I fell asleep on sofa .......exercises didn't get done.
I don't sleep well on a regular basis at night hence why so tired during the day but this is madness! No energy whatsoever.
Any advice would be really appreciated2 -

Hi AnnSome advice please.
I had put gym kit out this morning with full intentions to exercise this evening.
I'm feeling so tired all the time! I mean 'dog'tired to the point I cannot keep my eyes open. Needless to say got home from work, I fell asleep on sofa .......exercises didn't get done.
I don't sleep well on a regular basis at night hence why so tired during the day but this is madness! No energy whatsoever.
Any advice would be really appreciated
That is a tough one. I know last week I had to drag myself around and didn’t have energy to exercise but pushed it anyway. I finally took a day off and slept in for 3 days, like over 9 hours a time. Then on Monday I woke up feeling fantastic. It’s difficult when you are tired and want to sleep during the day but wide awake at bed time. I do find a cardio workout that can finish a couple of hours before bed helps. I also take ibuprofen if my body is twitchy.

Hi- sorry sleep is getting you down. I have problems falling asleep too, and get woken up by my kids at night. I get it. Have you ever tried using melatonin to get your sleep patterns in line? I did it for a while years ago, but stopped when I was pregnant. It really helped! I’d take it now, but then I couldn’t get up for my kids in the night.

It’s a vicious cycle. Exercise usually helps sleep better too. I’ve been having trouble sleeping too lately.
A few ideas that work for me:
- When I’m tired, I usually tell myself I just have to exercise for a minumum of 15 minutes. Usually, once I get going, I end up motivated. If after 15 minutes I’m still down, I stop but that rarely happens.
- What about doing a gentle yoga class on YouTube (yoga with adrienne)? It’ll make you feel good and make you relax for a better night of sleep.
- When I’m really exhausted, I do a quick 15 minute power nap and then get my exercise on.
- Exercise in the morning, before work.
Hope this helps!1 -

@ann_1403 If this is unusual fatigue for you, you might need to see your doctor to make sure everything is okay.
Morning exercise before work will provide a wonderful start to your day.
Sleepytime tea is also good for relaxation at night.0 -

starting to exercise will give you energy and stop the tiredness. I'm 44 this year, and that is what I found.
The less I moved, the more tired I got.

@ann_1403 and anyone else that may find this beneficial
I am also not a good sleeper and suffer from tiredness (not sleepiness) particularly on a low calorie diet. i cannot offer any advise on dealing with the tiredness, but can tell you about some of the tips and tricks i use.
I go to the gym in the evening straight after work. this avoids going home and needing to find the motivation to go back out. i signed up to the gym around the corner from work that helps. I also am not a morning person so get some extra sleep and don't have to go out in the cold.
On difficult days i say to myself all i need to do is get ready for the gym, go there and into the building, if i still don't feel like doing anything i can leave. This has never failed me, once all i did was walk for 10min on the treadmill, and had to push my way through every minute of it. (still 10min walking i wouldn't do if i was at home).
I don't have scales at home, so use the gym scales. this works twofold. One is that i need to go there to weigh-in, whether for curiosity, or so do my weekly post and who goes to the gym just to weigh-in, so i get a workout in. Also weighing-in at the gym helps motivate me, if i get a "good" number i seem to get an endorphin boost, of if the number is "not so good", it reinforces that i need to put in some hard yards.
Rest Days are important, At the moment i am only doing Cardio, so never train more than two days in a row, otherwise my energy levels get really zapped. Strange my biggest weight loss occurs during the rest day.
In recent times i have tried a protein shake a couple of hours before going to the gym. 150 Cal. Verdict is still out on whether it gives me any extra energy. Maybe some fruit might be better.
Just remember everyone is different, just find what gives you that little bit of motivation to get there, perhaps its the free hot shower, a friendly face (perhaps a training partner to not let down) or a workout that allows you to have that extra treat afterwards.
Keep it up everyone, one day at a time.

I happened to weigh mid day yesterday and was another # down. Whoohooo!
I think I'll keep going.1 -
@ goingforahundred
That's part of the beauty of tracking. You can occasionally enjoy your favorite foods and still be losing weight. It keeps me from feeling like I'm punishing myself, which gives too many negative vibes.
Yesterday I walked extra to have a tiny sample of a blueberry pie I baked. Today I'm going full broccoli and cauliflower, sweet potato and black beans. 2 -
