Feeling grumpy and tired after working out?

I am very new at working out! I do however enjoy it while I am working out. I have been going on 2-3 mile walks for that past two
Weeks. I don't want to over work myself. I have been taking on 1600 to 1200 calories a day plus drinking more then enough water.
Any recommendations? Anything at this point would be awesome.

Thank you,
Jessica.

Oh also I do take a multi vitamin daily. :)

    Well, you're supposed to be tired after a workout, it means you were doing something. Feeling grumpy could be due to a sugar drop maybe, I get grumpy when that happens. Try having a snack after workout (I usually have a couple of peanuts, others in my group have protein shakes)

    Work out long enough and hard enough to get the exercise endorphins released. Talk about a great, and free, high!!!!

    "Endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine. For example, the feeling that follows a run or workout is often described as "euphoric." That feeling, known as a "runner's high," can be accompanied by a positive and energizing outlook on life."
