question on exhaustion and other talk
Yeah, it’s an off day, but in a good way. Weighing in at 190 was no fluke. I’m still there! I was so excited this morning that I decided to give myself the day to clean- vacuum, mop, dust, laundry, etc. I can work up a decent sweat making this house look magazine ready. It’s not like the house is filthy (exception- my daughter’s room), but I need to get it looking good because it makes me feel more settled.
The hubby called yesterday and put all my concerns to rest. Thank goodness! We didn’t even fight over money. It’s like being married to a stranger, but I love that’s it my hubby. Oh you have no idea what the past 8 years have been like…
A question I just want to throw out there. Does anyone else get totally exhausted in the afternoons? By 3, I feel ready for bed. Second wind hits right after dinner. I sleep between 8-10 hours a night. I eat right. I exercise and take my vitamins. I don’t drink caffeine in the afternoons b/c I only drink water, but I end up drinking a LoCarb Monster most afternoons. I hate how it feels! Like I can’t move and I just want to sleep. At first, I considered depression. A neighbor mentioned sleep apnea. For the most part, people are as confused as me. 
I’d love any feed back on beating this. Thanks!

Hmm. Not sure. I have my days that I feel sleepy by 3 and those are usually the days that I am either eating too many carbs, or drinking too much ‘non water’ drinks. But besides that, I’m not so sure. : /
Oh, yeah, I used to, and I still do sometimes. It’s a natural time for a cat nap. The things that help me since I can’t have a cat nap, is excersising in my lunch break and having a protein post-workout snack after that.
When I was really depressed, all I wanted to do was sleep. I didnt even know it was a symptom of depression. I would come home from work and go straight to bed. I would even take a nap during the day if I had a bit of quiet time. Since I got the depression under control with antidepressants, I’m more motivated and have so much more energy. It’s amazing how much of a difference it made.
If you dont think it’s depression, maybe talk to your doctor and get some blood tests. Your haemaglobin level may be low, or there may be some other physiological reason.
190!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally missed this. lol Congratulations on the 109’s (late? lol) man that’s an amazing achievement!!!!!
