Fatigue
It’s been 10 days since I last set foot in the gym. There’s nothing I’d like to do more than a good hard weights session, but it’s not an option.
I’ve still got the dregs of my cold/flu and my energy levels are almost non-existent. A visit to the chiro yesterday left me feeling a fair bit better this morning but by lunchtime I knew I couldn’t train again today.
I’m taking each day as it comes. If I’ve got the energy I take Kevin for a walk before work, but even this wipes me out. I’ve been keeping my food clean, lean and green and my weight has stayed consistent even after my 10% meals.
All this inactivity and inability to achieve new goals is leaving me in quite a dark headspace and I’m worried that I’m sleeping too much and am actually making my energy levels worse.
I noticed I’d totally dropped off my water intake so I’m trying to get that back up above 4L again. In addition, there’s lots of glutamine and fish oils with every meal and I’ve got some fancy herbal medicine from the chiro which I’m hoping will help.
I’m open to any suggestions from people as how to get out of this hole. All I want to do is get back in the gym and get on with my life!

Mybe your body just needed some rest,our bodies are good about letting us know these things.Also,I know not working out for a period of time does cause the motivation to go down. Get up tomorrow and make yourself go to the gym,even if you only work your abs and jog on the treadmill for 15 mins. Do something really lite and simple.Maybe that’ll help you catch the iron bug again.Good luck to ya.
