Hi guys it seems since i started working out for the last 2 months in the last couple of days i have been experiencing a strange lack of motivation and tiredness its really strange cause i sleep the day away i can sleep for 8hrs then i wake up for about 4hrs then im back sleep again and when it comes to night time i really don't want to exercise has anyone suffered anything like this at first i was very happy and anxious to exercise but now im not have i hit a wall or something??

I have days I do not feel like exercising, but on those days I make myself go out and walk. I know myself, and if I did not make myself get out there I would back slide. In stead of napping get moving, sometimes you just have to do it!

In our program, we were told that for unusual fatigue, to take vitamin B12 (sublingual) tabs.

It's worth a try.

Be kind to yourself!! Try taking a bubble bath and relax, sometimes we can find motivation once we quit our minds and put everything else aside...No payments, whats on tv, why we have not done this or that, just be at a state of total relaxation and then I am sure you will find your center!!! Good Luck and Relax!!!

I had the same problem until someone told me to push Biotin and Vitamin b12, and my protein intake. It works! I actually took a Zumba class Thursday and made it happen! Try these things and if I can help in any way hit me up with a email.

Last week was hard for me also. I only went to the gym once and I went to a Zumba class for the first time. I don't feel like I got much for the Zumba class because I was totally lost and couldn't keep up. I know that I need more exercise than that or I will start gaining my weight back. Of course, my monthly cycle doesn't help matters. My plan is to hit the gym hard next week. Winter time is definitely a weakness for me but I have to do this in order to keep the success going. I have worked too hard to lose this week and I can't backslide now.

I know you can do it but I know exactly how you feel right now. I wished that I had a partner to exercise with. I know that would motivate me more

Could you have been overtraining? I know im bad at this, i want to run, i love spinning, i know i need bodypump and my hubbie needs walking regularly too. Some days I might do all four of those things but i often find i get moody and lack motivation and thats my sign to take a few days off.

Also, nutrition is important. I had bloodwork done recently and i thought i was a pretty good eater, hmmmm. Apparently, i have NO stored Iron left in my body, circulating harmoglobin is also low. It stands to reason that Im probably low in other things. Even when we eat well, wet dont eat a lot, I certainly cant eat enough red meat to make much difference. B Vitamins are Water soluble so safe enough to experiment with yourself.

I'm kind of with Jacqui. You could be over-training, but you could also be not having enough calories. How many calories are you eating in an average day? Also, how many grams of protein do you think you're consuming per day?

I eat 900-1300 cal a day. I try my best to stick with 1000 cal daily. Protein is 45-60 grams a day. I just started seriously working in exercise. I admit exercise is my weakness. I started out with stretching daily because my muscles are always very tight. I work as a phlebotomist on my feet almost 6-10 hours a day. So my muscles being so tight kills me. LOL

I beileve i eat about 1700 calories a day or lower and as far as Protein i really dont get much i eat alot of oatmeal if that helps.

but juding by you guys response i beileve im lacking somethiing in my diet rather it be protein or something else im not sure i go in for a physical 2mro so maybe my doc can uncover something.

thanks guys
