    Default Need Energy!!!!

    Sorry bout posting so much, but I'm tryin to get myself back into shape for summertime and it's fast approaching. Currently I am SO tired all the time! I feel like I never have any energy to wanna go workout. Anyone else ever feel like that? (Don't get me wrong, I've been getting enough sleep (6-8 hours a night) taking daily multi-vitamins, I HAVE to take iron because I WAS anemic, and I have to keep takin it cuz I drink on occasion, which depletes me, and I eat pretty damn healthy!) I feel like I'm doing all the RIGHT things, so how come I'm always feeling lethargic? (OH and when I was diagnosed with anemia they tested my thyroid so I know it's not that either) UGH!!! I can't get motivated for ANYTHING!!!!

    it's weird, but the more I work-out, the more energy I have

    motivation is just something that comes from within. if you do something for a few weeks, it'll feel weird not to do it. My "trick" is to put my gym clothes on, including shoes. I will always get in my car and go.

    Are you drinking water. i know if i dont drink at least 4 bottles of water a day, I feel drained. Also what emily mentioned works. THat is the only way I can get out of my house in the morning is if i have all my clothes on.

    Emily is right - the more you exercise the more energy you will have. Just make sure you're getting enough food and water to recharge when you're done. Most people have peaks and lulls during the day ( my lul hits right around 2-3pm when I go onto SW to veg out instead of working) ... try to schedule your workouts for when you have the most energy.

    That tea Tiger's Milk posted about, Kochumba(sp?) is suppose to give you energy. I read about it somewhere else. I want to try that stuff.

    Once you get back in the groove you'll get addicted to the endorphin (sp?) rush...you won't be able to stop yourself! You probably alreayd do this, but make sure you haven't eaten anything in at least an hour prior. Also, I would try to find a time that works best for you, the routine thing helps .

    Thanx guys, my main prob right now is that I have a suspended license so it's been preventing me from being able to get to the gym and stuff. I have less than a month to go, and I've been tryin to just plain watch what I eat so i don't gain, but I remember now that when i do go, I get really tired right after the workout, but then within an hour or so I feel like I have a TON of energy........now I remember!
