So tired help.....

Water water water....oh and music! Crank up your favourite music, always helps up my energy

Make the commitment to go whether you're tired or not. You will be amazed how much more energy you have AFTER you work out. Follow your workout with protien.

can you go before work and stuff? it gives you energy i promise! im a wife and full time working mom of two as well, i know its hard but i found that i love to exercise before anybody is up.

i just read this book "run, fat ***** run" the main points were "drink more water" and "eat less crap" as well as exercising as much as possible. It tells you to get intouch with "your inner *****" that person in there who is your harshest critic.

cant be easy juggling all of that but start small, MAKE TIME in your day in advance, dont mnke excuses, put ur exercise clothes on and know that you want to make a change in your life

Working out is what energizes me. Sometimes its hard to get myself motivated to start but once I do, I always feel better. Its the only thing I do that just for me, just about me and there aren't many things I do that I can say that about. So start out with some tunes you love and go for a walk alone. Even if its just 15 min to start. Really makes a difference in my energy level and attitude.

How is your sleeping? Depending on the age of your kid(s), I'm wondering if you are going to bed to late or waking up often throughout the night. Is there a way to get to bed earlier and have hubby help with prepping stuff for the next day?

I can't see your diary for the kinds of foods you are eating but there are ones that will make you feel more sluggish than others. I am wondering if this may be the case. I noticed that the more white carbs i had, the more tired I felt so I went ahead and cut them.

In the end, you just have to tell yourself that you need to do this. Maybe come up with a list in your mind of what won't change if you don't go to the gym vs. what will change if u do. Want to see results? You have to get moving!

Try eating a bit more protien and foods high in iron. Low Iron can make you feel very tired. Maybe try a vitamin supplement and drink LOTS of water.

I dislike the gym as well so, I brought the gym home with me.

^^^ This. I NEVER feel like doing my workout after work and I can't force myself out of bed in the morning, so evenings are what I have decided on. I take clothes with me or go straight to my treadmill when I get home. NEVER SIT DOWN before you have time to think about it. As Nike says, Just Do It. The energy you get after is amazing. I would also agree that following with protein is good, but mix in a few good carbs with it; try yogurt or milk. Best of luck, girl! :flowerforyou:

^^^Agree completely!^^^

I go straight to the 'mill or bike when I get home. I RUSH home to feed the dog, change quickly, let the dog out and start my workout, right then!
