feeling tired and sluggish...

Hello everyone,

I am trying to figure out why I am feeling so tired and sluggish today. I think it is because I have been working out so much. Making sure each bike run I go further in the same amount of time. I never really know how many miles I ride (did buy a bike meter yesterday to keep track) I just make sure I go further each time and get back home in the same amount of time. I wonder if I over did and that is why I feel today so burnt out. Today is the only day this week I did not go for a bike run. I woke up late today and just laid around the house. I did manage to take my kids to the park and try to play tennis and handball, but only lasted an hour. After that was so hungry I took them to a fast food place for a quick lunch. (I know, I know not good) I tried not to overdo it or let them either. Then we came home and crash I went. I finally got up to do a load of laundry and get on MFP for some help. I feel like I need the bike run to make me feel better right now. I just can't seem to get myself to go plus I know how important it is to let your body rest.

I am also looking for anyone in the ft. lauderdale area to go biking with to be able to push each other while riding.

Sounds like you need to rest and also make sure you're eating enough calories to make up for all your activity. I know how hard it can be to just rest. I feel driven to workout everyday all the time, but have to talk myself out of it sometimes and remember that overdoing it is just counter productive.
