Some kind of Funk Today
I am in some soft of funk today. I woke up this morning and didn't feel like going to work, so I didn't. I am trying to get some motivation to go to the gym but its not coming. Even writing this post is laborious. I went to the gym every day last week and was super motivated. Not sure what is going on.
Must be something in the air today. I had my surgery 6 days ago. Other than one day of severe nausea in the hospital I have been feeling very good. I have been exceeding my own expectations every day. Today.....blah! Woke up tired. No energy at all. Took a nap and feel worse than I did before. I was on a 300 calorie presurgery diet for two weeks and have had absolutely no calories in the past week. Not sure if that is part of the problem or just my body saying..hey i need a day off. Either way, hoping tomorrow will be better. Im going to go outside and see if that helps me get energized a little more. Hope you feel better soon. Don't give up! We all have bad days.
Yours is definitely surgery related . 6 days post op I was pretty wiped out too. Started getting energy again when I got to soft foods. Yours is definitely calorie related. I ate less than normal yesterday but not so much less that it explains my mood. I will get back to it. I will force myself to go to the gym and that will help.
I sometimes feel exactly that way right before I get a cold. But also, you're still on much reduced calories, and you may find the motivation going up and down a bit while you adjust.
It gets better.
