Ugh

For the past week, I’ve felt overly exhausted. I get up, I go to work, I come home, and every week I see my son.

The job isn’t really difficult, so it’s not like I’m being worn out. And the more time I’m spending with the Lil’ Moo is helping me out in that I am able to actually spend more real time with him and that I’m able to take him home at a much more reasonable hour.

So why am I so tired?

I’m not drinking soda anymore, and I’m basically eating much healthier overall. I’ve lost almost 20 pounds in pure water weight.

But Wednesday I came home from work, my body sore, so I laid down so I could rest my back. I woke up after midnight, which is two hours after the beginning of the show. I missed my own fucking show.

I don’t understand it. I couldn’t sleep because I was looking for a new job and I was being stressed. I have the job, why am I having problems staying awake now?

Maybe I should just go back to my fatty foods and overdose on caffeine again. I may have been a bloated whale, and I may have not felt good about myself, but at least I was able to keep a regular schedule going.

It’s almost 9 in the morning and I’m already sluggish. WTF??

    I just read on the show’s website that you overslept and didn’t do the show last night :-(
    Caffeine withdrawals can do a number on your body. And, depending on how healthy you’ve been eating lately, the lake of other things (like carbs and sugar) can cause you to feel sluggish.
    Also, even though the job isn’t overly difficult and doesn’t wear you out physically - you could suffer from mental exhaustion (I do usually 3 days a week).
    Anyway, take care of You hun!! I’ll be thinkin’ of you as I always do.

    I’ve been known to drink about 4-6 1litre cups of ice tea in a day.. which i KNOW isnt heathly but there is so much water you can drink in a day.. I’ll be going cold turkey mid sept..

    Hope your withdrawals will slowly go away.. it took me about 2 months before my body was nice to me 4 years ago last time I did a mega body cleanse

    Giving up on soda and other caffeinated beverages is a tough thing to do… Good job!

    try chamomile tea at night. its a natural muscle relaxer / mild halucinagen and instead of going cold turkey off cafeine- try green tea. And dont forget to eat healthy carbs like veggies and healthy fats like avacados. …and eat five to six small meals high protein low carb daily to keep your energy up…

    That sounds weird. I think that eating helathier should make you LESS tired. But what do I know about how healthy food affects your body since I never eat anything healthy…
