I have 1 hr 15 mins left till work is done and I am totally exhausted but I need to get 1 hr of treadmill time and at least 30 mins of swimming today....I really feel like I am going to pass out (fall asleep).

What would you do?

    have a cup of tea. I find that Chai with its spices wakes me up. It has caffeine so be aware of that. It has practically no calories if you don't add sugar or cream.

    Why don't you cut your exercise time in half for today?
    Have you taken a rest day this week?

    Just a suggestion...

    Can you get your hands on a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit?
    If not. rub you feet on the ground like you did when you where a kid and wanted to schock your little brother or sister.
    I do not know why but that increases the blood flow and works to wake you up.
    If you can not do that. STAND UP and do arm rolls.

    Stop working and look at Facebook.

    Seriously, I'm about there right now. I have another press release to write and I am totally drained. My plan is to get up, grab a decaf tea, stetch my legs a bit, and then tackle it.

    lol

    Facebook make me laugh... I was there but I am still tired.

    I am thinking I will go the tea route...I really need something to wake up!!

    Actually I didn't exercise over the weekend, so I have NO excuse to cut my exercise in 1/2 today. I only really exercise Mon, Tues, Thurs, Friday (with bowling on Wed), so I really need to give it my all.

    I really wish I liked Chai tea but Chai tea is all around me, way before it becaming mainstream.

    Mmmm coolwhip sound sooo good right about now.

    I am always tired towards the end of the day, but honestly, when I get to the gym I get a second wind and the exercise is what wakes me up. Then I can go home and get some stuff done around the house. It's great! So, I wish you luck! Just get yourself there and then you'll do it! You'll feel so much better afterwards!!:bigsmile:

    hmmm no, a shower would just further facilitate the sleeping urge :tongue:

    And I do love a good tantrum.

    Goodnight everyone. Thanks :laugh:
