Tired of being tired!

I've had some cravings lately, but the worst part of it is that I am tired.....ALL the time.  I have dieted and exercised before but have felt energized in the past.  This time I am tired.  I also feel hungry all the time.  Usually an hour or so before lunch I feel like I'm starving.  I am taking it easy today and will get to bed early.  Tomorrow is a new day.

End of Week 5

So this week I maintained my weight...nothing gained....nothing lost.  I stuck within my diet, but I was worn out and only completed three cardio workouts.  Two on the elliptical, one walking outside.  I came down with a cold last week and last weekend I slept a lot and rested.  I was better in about four days, but missed out on my double/triple workouts that I've been completing on the weekend.  I have three weeks left and I will be back at work.  I weighed in at Max Muscle Friday after work and afterwords I caved in and ordered a pizza.  I ate too much and later regretted it.  I felt horrible and woke up in the middle of the night with heartburn. Not very smart.  Anyway, it's been a long time since I had pizza and I could've stopped with one or two pieces, but I let food control me that night.  I did work out enough to counter-act the extra calories I ate, but I felt like crap.  Today, I was back on it.  I worked out this morning at Anytime Fitness and later I worked out on the elliptical.  I also did some landscaping work in the front yard, so I am back on track.  Also....life happens, but the important key is to get back to it when things are taken care of.

Week 4 Results

This past week started off a little rough.  Outside of having an allergic reaction to a new laundry detergent I used, allergies becoming full blown and catching a cold, I had a weigh in today at Max Muscle.  I actually added more workouts this past week mainly on the weekend.  Some of the days after lifting weights I added in a shorter cardio routine on the elliptical machine (around 30 minutes).  On the weekend, if I lifted in the morning, I added two cardio routines later on that day to add to the calorie burn.  On my regular cardio weekend day, I completed three separate workouts on the elliptical machine which totaled around 1.5 to 2 hours.  I took Thursday off because of allergies/cold symptoms.  Anyway....after weighing in, I lost another 8 pounds totaling 20 pounds in four weeks. 

Tired and Exhausted

I have been working out so hard and am starting to feel it.  I am tired and have no energy at all.  Well, I do have enough energy to do my workouts after work, but after working out I veg out on the couch and catch up on my shows.  I have been a lot closer to my caloric intake this week and I have my Week 3 weigh in tomorrow after work so I will keep you posted on how well I do.  Until next time....happy sleeping!
