Usually I ask what is wrong with other people
Now I'm asking what is wrong with me?
For several days now, I've been absolutely exhausted when I wake up. I stumble through my workday, take a nap, function normally for a couple hours, then to bed at a decent hour (except for Sunday when I couldn't fall asleep until almost 2:00 a.m). And repeat. It's starting to wear me down. Yesterday morning I made it to the gym for the first time in several days. But only because the thunderstorm woke me up at 4:00 a.m. What is truly terrifying is I took an ECA stack at 8:30 this morning (it's 9:06 at the moment) and I still feel like I could take a nap Right Now. That's some scary shit, there.
It would be nice if I could chalk it up to depression, but I think I'm depressed because I'm so damn tired. Not the other way around. Ugh. It's even starting to affect my digestive system. I had some terrible, er, intestinal troubles yesterday, for absolutely no good reason.
Sigh. I have a super busy (and mostly fun) weekend ahead of me. Must. Pull. Out. Of. This. Must!
I'm seriously considering taking Friday off so if I need to, I can sleep in and be at least somewhat ahead of schedule for the weekend. It's a rather lame use of a vacation day, but I fear it might be necessary.
UPDATE: I think I might have found my culprit. I ate sugar this weekend...ice cream cake, candy, holiday goodies. I'm pretty sure that's it. The brain sluggishness hadn't let that idea permeate until after I had time to really think. Sugar is my enemy. Oh sugar, why do I love you so? We have a dinner and movie date tonight. I think I'm going to haul my ass to the gym after work and do some serious cardio to see if I can jump start myself into action. Wish me luck. Lotsa water and protein today.
Isn't it amazing how obvious the solution is once you get over the mental block?
