I am sooooooooooo lazy today. I need to clean my place but have no energy to do so. This has been happening to me ever since my last few months of pregnancy. I think from me being so overweight now is why I'm so lazy all the time on top of not getting enough sleep. At the most I get 4 hours of sleep, that's if I'm lucky enough. I had gain 70 lbs when I got pregnant and I have only lost about 15 lbs of that which was the baby. Not good!! So do you have any ideas of getting me to get my energy back so I can deep clean my place and have the energy to start exercising again?? I wish I had a friend who lives in my neighborhood because then it would be so much easier and I'll have the support I need. I can use all the advise I can get! Thank you!!

I'm not pregnant but I know how you feel. There are just times when I just can't get up and am so tired I feel like I'm going to keel over or something. What I do is that I try to eat some sugar or something to keep my energy levels up. I am writting a novel and this happens to me a lot especially when I'm just staring at the white screen for like ten minutes. I'll get a lollipop or something that has sugar and I'll get perky for a few minutes anyways.

Well, i'm not pregnant but I feel the exact same way. I was up early but then laid back downinstead of vaccuuming and cleaning the apt like I should have. It is so hard to get up when you dont want to but i find that if you think about it less and just get up and do it then you are done before you know it and can sit back down and relax.
