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

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.

Week 3
An early post this week as travelling away for work this coming week, I will be going to a gym, but assume scales may be differnt

BMI is now under 30 -- I'M NO LONGER OBESE--
"Celebrated" by cleaning out my drawers and throwing out all my baggy clothes, and got out a bag too small training T-shirts that i had stored away, which now all fit. Wife kindly when out and brought me some new shorts.
Next week's challenges:
Away for work - have planned to still get my regular gym sessions in. I think tracking calories will be a bit difficult, but will focus on making good decisions and portion control.
Will start to incorporate some body weight exercises into workout routine (just doing Cardio atm), the plan is to cut back a little on the Cardio and add a 20min Body weight routine in February to aid in retaining muscle/burn fat.11 -
Starting weight: 79kgs
Goal: 65kgs

Successes: I have put in some really good workouts: cycling for 2 hours; weights; long hill walks. I am really focused and committed.
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

This week's successes: Many successes this week. I felt great. I managed to eat well, exercise, go out and have fun with my friends and loose weight. My husband and I went on a 30km/1000m elevation bike ride with a friend yesterday. I love exercising with friends. It always brings a fresh and fun atmosphere. We all loved it and I'm sure we will be doing more of it.
This week's challenges: I was sick for the first couple of days at the beginning of the week. I decided to not do yoga for 2 days until I got better, and I think that was a good idea (I usually decide to power through it). I also made healthy food choices to feel better quickly.
Have a great day you bunches of losers!6 -
