I will ditto the eating correctly and occasionally tanning...can you get out for a walk during your lunch break???
If you still have issues I'd be going to get blood tests....winter sucks we all know that...spring will be here soon...I hope.....
The high so far today is a steamy 4!! I HATE WINTER!! I'm guilty of the working through my lunch hour during tax season too.. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | Nateracer - 2014-02-06 10:22 AM The think that has helped me this winter was Tanning. Yes, gasp, it's bad for you, yada, yada. BUT I actually feel good. I think it has something to do with the Vit. D production, just like the sun. I feel good when the sun is out and I feel just like that after tanning.
I'm not a freak of super brown skin by any means. I found a tanning card when I cleaned out my purse and decided to use it.
I'm also eating better because I joined Weight Watchers, so I'm sure that helps.
I hear ya honey. I get my energy from riding my exercise bike from 5 to 10 miles each day, eating right and TANNING! Yep I said it too.  |

Oh it's -11F here
I would consider taking at least 15 minutes from your lunch to go for a walk, the work will be there when you get back AND I guarantee it will help you with being more focused on your job rather then being in a slight zombie state! |

| I have had on and off bouts of fatigue/low energy on and off for years. I have had bloodwork drawn and tested numerous times all of which always came back showing nothing wrong so here's what I have found out on my own. I think drinking a gallon of water per day helps my energy more than anything. Its important to space it out over the whole day too...not just chug a lot at a time. I think that's important because I read somewhere(not 100% sure its true) that your body can only absorb like 16 ounces per hour of water and the rest is just passed on through. After I read that and started spreading my water intake out over the whole day it has helped my energy a lot and makes you feel much less hungry. Exercise helps too of course and keeping busy so that you are not bored. B12 and Vitamin D helps too...I get mine from Silk Almond Milk instead of a pill. |

Location: Lewisburg, Tennessee | WYOTurn-n-Burn - 2014-02-06 9:17 AM I'm a firm believer you are what you eat. You eat junk you feel like junk.
What is working for me is eating as clean as possible. I gave up soda last September (don't miss it at all), down to 1 cup of coffee in the morning, and have been drinking a minimum of half my body weight in water. I try not to eat a lot of bread or pasta, but lots of fresh, raw and steamed veggies and fruit. ETA: I also don't eat a lot of red meat, rather grilled chicken and fish:) Not too much dairy because I'm lactose intolerant.
I also take 5000 IU of Vita D3, a multi vitamin, probiotics, and a supplement that helps me........ go #2 and retain less water.
I also got a gym membership and yesterday was my first day at the gym in about 10 years. I felt like an uncoordinated jungle monkey, but I didn't fall off the treadmill!!LOL It actually felt really good to just walk/jog/powerwalk, even if it was for only 45 minutes. I felt so much better afterwards.
Good for you Ronda Roo - sounds like you've got it figured out!
And an occasional "Prairie Fire" every now and then will boost the metabolism too!

Location: TEXAS | Dodge629 - 2014-02-06 10:03 AM I need to get back to eating better and using my treadmill and losing some weight, but I'm having a serious issue with lacking energy. I don't want any miracle diets, weight loss supplements, etc... I know I will feel better naturally once I get going, but I need a kickstart on the energy end. It's winter, tax season in our accounting firm, I never see the sun, we have a foot of snow..I've got the blues. I leave the offfice and have no energy.. and I sat at a desk all day! Vitamins, b12, anything that has been successful for anyone?
Zeal for life vitamin drink is the BEST at giving you energy and you get so many all natural healthy vitamins and minerals from around the world!! Let me know if you want some free samples!!  |
