How do you get energized?

[Mrs Dragonfly]

The past few days I've felt so fatigued all I want to do is take a nap. Doctor checked my thyroid and said all is fine there. What do you ladies do to get yourself full of energy? I need to kick this laziness, I went on a dog walk and came home more tired and starving, maybe a protein filled lunch will wake me up!

I was (still am a bit) the same. Turns out my iron levels were so low I was nearly anemic and my body doesn't absorb iron and some other vitamins properly. So I went on an iron & vitamin C supplement and since then been feeling better, but still just feel lazy some days.

Good to know, if this keeps up I may go have those levels checked. I'm hoping it's just my body being confused off bcp. I'm not anemic though, already checked that one.

Are you drinking enough water? I find that if I'm not drinking enough I get very lethargic and tired!

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

I should be drinking enough water, when I started feeling tired I drank more but last night and this morning I've felt a little dizzy so guzzling that water down!

I know just how u feel I could do with a little extra pep right now!

What works for me is taking iron, B12 and vitamin D supplements. And I need to make sure to get enough protein, veggies and water or I feel pretty awful.

Oh and just the right amount of caffeine helps... 1 coffee per day and maybe 1 green or black tea per day does the trick for me!

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Well I've picked back up on my vitamins, I was seriously lacking in taking them and made a huge veggie stir fry last night that was a complete pick me up!

younglove LOVE coffee lol, drinking some right now
