How to increase energy levels.

[Vixstar]

I am going to state the obvious but look at what you are doing every week - a course, raising kids, housework, cooking, groceries.......with each of my pregnancies I have felt a little more tired too.

Eat 3 meals plus snacks through the day (as mentioned above), early nights, loads of water and think positive! I was recently told by a Belly Buddy that apples are a great wake up as i was begining to climb back on the coffee wagon. TRUE! I love apples and have atleast 1 a day now.

The other AWESOME thing to take is InLiven - check out the thread on BB for it. i swear by this product...it is magic!

Now, I am off to strip beds and put them in the wash and then sit for a bit with a quiet cuppa. ( a chore then a reward system - gets me through the day)

Can you write down everything that you eat through out the day, also make sure you note how much water you are drinking.

Is there any chance you have a food intolerance? Maybe a naturopath can help?

Also to get more sun light can you get some large pots and start a little vege garden?

I'm actually going to start a vege garden at our new house but we arn't moving for another 4 weeks. Might give the natropath a go.

Mmm i love apples too Vixstar, thanks for the tip.

I just tried to do the grocery shopping online but their next delivery isn't until next Wednesday! So i'm going to have to find the energy to do that today.

Hi Antheia

Just wanted to say that I feel the same and am glad that you posted. Not that I have as much on my plate as you by the sounds of it :0

Hope you can get your levels up to where you need them. I know how hard it is to be your best when you are so tired

In saying that, I really should be in bed by now....

I hear you!! I am expecting no 4 too and I have found I have less energy this time around than with any of the other three. I just try to snooze whenever I can...I am lucky because my older three are at school, so after I do drop off, I will come home and have a sleep till lunch. But that tiredness just doesnt seem to back off! Snooze as much as possible, try some sustagen energy drinks, heaps of water, and leave all the housework stuff that doesnt have to be done. Our lounge room looks like a chinese laundry at the moment because I just cant be stuffed...but it will still be there tomorrow and it will get done....eventually!!

Oh I so know how you are all feeling, at the moment if I don't have a mid day nap I am falling asleep on the lounge at 8:30pm, which is not helping my nursing degree get itself done!

If anyone comes across anythign natural and ground breaking let us all know because its so hard to keep everything together when you feel like this every day!
