8 days in to my final push
So day 8 into my final push and I am so so tired and have zero energy. Getting up at 4.40am today was a killer. Even my large black coffee did not help. I need to have something today that helps me get a much needed boost. What your suggestions?

Getting old
Since 2014 I have managed to lose 10 stone (140 lbs), for me this was fantastic as I am type 2 diabetic and was able to come off my medication and control it with my diet.
