    It’s a vicious cycle. Exercise usually helps sleep better too. I’ve been having trouble sleeping too lately.
    A few ideas that work for me:
    - When I’m tired, I usually tell myself I just have to exercise for a minumum of 15 minutes. Usually, once I get going, I end up motivated. If after 15 minutes I’m still down, I stop but that rarely happens.
    - What about doing a gentle yoga class on YouTube (yoga with adrienne)? It’ll make you feel good and make you relax for a better night of sleep.
    - When I’m really exhausted, I do a quick 15 minute power nap and then get my exercise on.
    - Exercise in the morning, before work.

    Hope this helps!

    This is fab thank you for your tips and advice

    Completed W6 of C25K. Who would have guessed I can run? Loving the high activity level I've achieved. Can't wait for warmer weather again.

    Preplanning and logging my meals again. I had slipped away from this during the holidays and the scales reflected it. I need MFP everyday to stay on track.

    Have you tried making chocolate delights? They are awesome snacks to enjoy. They don't cause stalls and you can eat as many as you want!

    Challenges: I can’t control myself around snacks. It’s like a drug. Also finding the right mix between exercise and the right amount of food to lose fat and not go into starvation mode.

    Have a great week ahead team :)

    BTW, when I have my morning coffee, I now have a big glass of water with it. I am amazed at how water can fill you up and delay eating.
    Every little trick helps o:)
