Taking 'out of shape' to a new level

Last night I went to bed at 8:30 because I have been feeling so tired lately. Not just tired though, but like seriously exhausted.

Too bad I still feel like crap this morning.

I wish I had some good excuse for why I feel like I have zero energy, like an illness or thyroid problem, but that's not the case. I'm certain the reason I feel like not getting out of bed in the morning is because I have done nothing remotely active (except play tennis, twice) in about 2 months. SICK. I know. I have spiraled downward into this black hole where I can't even get motivated to take a walk. Isn't that sad? For example, yesterday was so beautiful outside. As I drove through the neighborhood, I noticed all these people running, walking their dogs, walking with their kids along the sidewalk. I thought how nice that must feel to be outside and just taking a walk.
So you know what I did when I got home??

I layed down on the couch and watched an America's Next Top Model marathon.

My lack of energy has indeed entered a new realm. I've never felt like this before. Probably because I have always been at least somewhat active. Soemthing needs to change. Something soon.

It could be your diet too. I'm just saying. Of course, this is coming from someone who is a human garbage disposal lately--I'll eat anything and everything.

I feel the same. I had the ambition to quit pop again, it lasted about a week. I got severe headaches from it too. sad I know. And my gym attendance is non existent. I'm pathetic as well. I don't have all the good channels to lure me in though. I just sit at my computer instead. I'm such a nerd :)

I'm glad to hear you are are aware of your lack of motivation. Now you just made a big move right? And you are in an adjustment phase right now. The no energy thing you are dealing with could be part of the adjustment you are making. Try to schedule a couple of things that get you out of the house and just force your self to do them. Not big huge things like telling yourself you will run 5 miles. Something more like, "will walk to park". Or "will go to book store and browse (books or men, whatever)". But seriously stay aware of these signs because that may be what they are.
Don't mean to get all serious, just concerned.
