Ramblings of the Exhausted.

*Warning: I'm feeling whiny

No energy.

I want to sleep all the time.

Losing motivation to exercise.

Wanting to eat crap all day.

Muscles are exhausted.

Losing steam.

What the heck is wrong with me?

I seriously have the hardest time crawling out of bed in the morning. Exercise is becoming a huge deal even though I cut back to my regular 30 minutes. I realize that the sugar from Easter is making the problem so much worse, but this has been going on for months. My kids don't keep me up at night, so I should be well rested, right? Don't get me wrong, although I feel this way 24/7 doesn't mean I give in to it. I still exercise, I still eat well, I still lose weight. But it's so much harder to win the fight when your body and brain are fighting you every second of the day! What happened to the drive I had in the fall? I'm sooooooooo close! 20 pounds and I can maintain!!! I should be sprinting at this point, not crawling on my hands and knees. I mentioned being exhausted on facebook a while back, and got a response of "eat less processed food." I don't eat processed food. I eat whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables, lean protein. I take vitamins. Why do I feel like my muscles are leaking out of my pores and my brain is oozing down to my shoulders?

I want to take a week off.

But I know what would happen if I did.
