I dont know what it is lately i have no energy. I feel like i could fall asleep at my desk right now. It isnt a food coma because i felt like this before i ate. We have been really busy remolding the house and getting ready for my daughters one year birthday party. But wow man i am exhausted......... i gotta find the energy to go to the gym after work. I tried caffinee but that didnt even work.......

    I'm right there with you. Last month I was burning 1000+ calories a day. The past two days I've barely hit 400. I just woke up from a lunchtime nap so hopefully I'll get a little boost to do something after work.

    Interesting. Everything all at once? Well u can do it! Gym is probably not that enticing but how bout a walk around the block or dancing in your room. Sounds silly but movement is what counts. It doesnt have to be a super extreme workout for it to count. I find doibg this is better than the gym because if i go when im extremely tired i get irritable and discouraged. Anyway goodluck you can do it :)

    The standard questions of "Are you getting enough to eat?", "How's your intake?", "Are you sick?", "Do you have a glandular problem?", etc., etc. will ensue following this post [or prior to this one, if I take to long to hit "post reply"].

    Feel free to answer those questions in the meantime for a bit of background clarification.

    So many people on here look down on "unintentional exercise" but when I factor unusual daily activity - remodeling my house, for instance - into my exercise calories and eat a little more to compensate, I find that I have the energy I need to get through a day.

    Also, I read a study recently that found that eating an apple is better for energy boost than coffee. Good luck getting through it all!

    I completely relate. I have been feeling the same way. But I work two jobs and 7 days a week for a total of 80 hours a week and I don't get much sleep. I think mine is due to burn out.

    Vitamin D. I just started taking it from purityproducts.com and I have tremendous energy I didn't have before
    A simple blood test at the Doctors will tell you if that is what it is OR just try it and see. I could tell a difference in one week

    I am averaging about 1100-1300 cals a day. I am not sick. The weather has been crappy and i am longing for 70degrees! I dont have any glandular problems because i was tested before i started this journey. I just dont get it.. Hoping maybe the sunshine today will help me get motivated to head to the gym!
