    It might help to give advice if your diary was open. Saying you eat clean means different things to different people and doesn't necessarily mean that you eat a right balance of foods or that you're eating enough.

    I find just getting up and moving a little can help boost my energy a bit. I was really tired this morning and went to get water with a friend and I felt a little more perked up after that. Take 3-4 breaks during your work day and walk around the floor or even up and down stairs.

    Are you exercising regularly? Drinking enough water?

    I've been drinking 3 liters of water a day, I work a desk job, and its done wonders!
    I also cut back on coffee, and I will drink green tea instead.
    Are you getting enough sleep? I've been getting up at 5am...so as soon as I put the kids to bed 8pm...I head to bed too...

    I think this is more of an issue for me. not enough hours in the day sort of thing. up at 5:30 am not home til 6 ish and normally dont go to bed til 10 or 11
