NO ENERGY AND NO DESIRE TO WORKOUT, PLEASE HELP (ADVISE)

When I get like that I need Iron are you getting enough protein,drinking

64oz of water

the protein is not regular, i'm actually sick of them so sometimes i don't drink the protein shakes and water is not enough either, need to improve on both but very hard I'm usually not thirsty so i don't drink as much :-(

I hope you're at least taking your vitamins. Sounds like you need a Vitamin B12 shot.

I am always freezing too since surgery and I used too alway be hot.

I was always cold too. until I started the vitamin B-12 shots. I take them once a week , and you should take your vitamins and protein. I know it's hard sometimes, but try and eat beans, cheese, fish, and cottage cheese if you will not take protein shakes.

If you can't choke down the protein drinks then be SURE to EAT protein before you eat anything else. This is vital to your energy level. Get some protein bars too. Look for "Think Thin" protein bars. They taste good and will not kill you on calories and fat and carbs. Lots of protein in them. Snack on beef jerky. Have tuna for lunch, eggs for breakfast and a try some grilled chicken on a salad at night. cottage cheese and fruit for an evening snack. Get that protein in anywhere you can. If you have yogurt, have Greek yogurt, as it is higher in protein. Yoplait makes a 100 calorie Greek. Very good.

I'm cold too. I'm sitting here right now just freezing solid!!! VEry weird for me.

Working out takes effort but it is self-perpetuating.

In other words, you need to make the effort, and DO IT, before you feel the increased energy you will feel from doing it. The more exercise you do, the more energy you will have, and in many cases, that will lead to a desire to exercise.

The simple fact is that exercise requires effort, and most people have no inherent natural desire to do something that requires serious effort. Most people go directly to reward/gratification/pleasure and prefer to pass the effort/work/discomfort required to receive the payoff.

thank you all for the advice, i deeply appreciate it, went to the doctor today and he recommend me to see my primary care doctor right away, he also told me to start the exercise routine, continue with the protein and LOTS of water daily, he thinks i may be dehydrated, so i will listen to him and make sure i do all that, 2 months ago he said my blood work was normal but he wants me to have another one in 2 weeks bc i see him again on 1/24/12. I feel confident that following his advise i will definitely get/feel better :-)

Again, thank you all for the advice !!
