Struggling

Make sure you're eating a variety of foods, staying hydrated and eating enough! If I eat a bunch of junk, or don't eat enough - I'm terribly sluggish and lack energy.

Are you eating enough to get enough energy? I am sure everyone experiences lulls in enthusiasm doing this, I certainly do. If you need a few days off, take a few days off. Don't stress it too much or give yourself a hard time.
The moment it becomes a chore is the moment you will start to fail.
Find fun activities to do as exercise - it doesn't always have to be at the gym. Maybe have a game of something like tennis or go for a swim. If you change what you do I expect you will keep your interest up.
This is the same for foods. The more variety you have, the easier it is to keep it up.

Add me as a friend if you want, I am happy to offer encouragement along the way if I can.

All the best, I am sure you can do it.

(of course, if the lack of energy is more than just lack of enthusiasm, then I would suggest a chat with your doctor)

Struggling to get out of bed could also be an allergy or a diabetes issue.

Hang in there. It is hard sometimes, but the suggestion for one day at a time, maybe even one meal at a time, I like. I am going to try and get that outlook also as I am struggling to and need to revisit my priorities. Good luck.

I'd maybe try and get some outside help (EAP, Student counselor) if it's as you describe. If your just being dramatic then just keep plugging away, set your MFP goals and keep it up, good luck.

well, i have 4 kids, so i can understand not wanting to get up in the morning. what i like to do is to get up and get my daughter ready for school. i drive her to school in the morning, and on my way home from dropping her off is when i go to the gym. i find that if i don't go first thing in the morning, lots and lots of things always "come up" and i never end up making it in. i have lost 32 pounds so far, and while i do still get tired, i feel like i am taking less naps, and being able to accomplish more good luck

The OP mentioned going to nursing school and 3 kids. This alone could point to not getting enough sleep.
As one person mentioned, what do you think are the problems?
Are you getting enough sleep?

You'll also need to make your diary visible please.

K. As your Sister-in-law #1 I love you. #2 You are going to have to make a choice to change this. Whether it is through willpower or through the doctor. I will be there for you regardless.

This was a hard area for me as well. My kids are older so I don't have to get up in the morning when they go to school. I don't technically have to get up until 10 a.m. to start my day. So, I would just lay in bed.

Then I realized how much I can get going in the morning and how peaceful it is. I started by MAKING myself get up. I set a rule for myself. If I woke up I had to get up. I had to get moving. I would start with my list that I have "Bathroom routine, drink water, make breakfast, stretch/light exercise for 5 minutes, etc." No matter how tired I was I could not get back in bed. Sometimes I have to go for a 10 minutes walk around the block or go outside, sit outside and read a book and pull a few weeds in the garden. It helps to keep in routine and have a list of things to do.

If it is depression, you need to talk to your doctor or have your meds adjusted and MAKE SURE you take them...even if you don't like how they make you feel at first. They take time to adjust. They can take a month sometimes. I set an alarm on my phone to take my meds (thyroid and vitamins) and I always keep a dose in my purse and in my glove box just in case I am out and I forgot them.

You are doing a great job. You have lost weight and inches and you look fantastic! I couldn't ask for a better walking partner and fitness buddy.

Also...I love you. Did I mention that? Don't be so hard on yourself. See you tonight.

I've sure felt that way at times, but the one thing to keep in mind is the fact that you can get up in the morning-that you have that choice. There are people in the world right now that cannot get out of bed, through no choice of their own. This is how I have to think of things sometimes and hit myself with reality! I am gratful that I am able to do the things that I want to and that I have a choice to do them or not and that the choice has not been taken from me. I have let depression sink in at times, mostly when I am tired. Everybody also advised me to take medication. I do believe that your own willpower is your best medicine and it has no side effects except to make you feel awesome about yourself that you overcame your obstacles! Your sister-in-law sounds amazing and a wonderful support system-use her! My siser-in-law died of MS three years ago and it changed my outlook on life! I certainly am not trying to judge-as I said-been there-done that, but just hope another way of thinking might help!
