I wouldnt say feeling tired after a goodworkout was unusual.

Do you have enough energy to do the workout? Theres some dispute about whether you should workout on an emptyish stomach ot whether it helps to have had a snack to give you some energy to get you through. Are you having your post workout snack? Proetein and a bit of carb?

Is the workout too hard?

Is the workout boring and repetitive? Maybe you could mix your workup a bit try new classes or new routines? Switch gym or do a different sort of exercise you find more fun?

Is the grumpiness just the workout (sometimes its hardwork and boring. Nobody said it was easy) , is it with the fact its hard work or are there other factors outside dieting and gym that are causing it? Maybe you can fix some of those if its not 100% exercise related. Toy cna also do fun things as a reward, but as long as it doesnt interfere with your deficit.

Maybe its just the realisation its going to take a long time and therefore a lot of effort to get to target and your mind is drifting wishing it would all happen faster? If its to do with the diet then go and read some inspiring stories from the motivation section and imagine yourself reaching your goals like some of those people have.

Thanks so much, that advice was really helpful and for me walking the 2-3 miles I really enjoy I take my son with me in are jogging
Stroller I am working my way up running right now I jog/ walk. We do different routes everyday also I am going to start taking a spinning class. I usually and full of energy when I go I drink a protein shake and eat a protein bar before.
I think some of it is , is that it will take longer then anyone would like let's face it losing weight is rough lol.
Thanks again.

You could just have sex after workouts. A plausible solution to correct your post workout fatigue is to set up a proper reward system, so you feel motivated to finish faster and more efficiently in the gym.
