I feel exhausted...why?

[Pie4me]

In the past couple of weeks I have felt exhausted even though I
have been getting plenty of sleep and hopefully eating enough.
I have been walking 6 days a week 3 miles a day for about 3 1/2
months. I am down to my last 5 pounds to loose so it is not because
I am over weight. Any ideas why....the heat...not enough water
or what? Anyone else feel this way?

Re: I feel exhausted...why?

It could be a variety of different things -- from your body fighting something off to lack of water to perhaps your body wanting to be pushed a little more. Are you meeting your daily intake for your phase of the diet?

The heat could definitely be a factor - yesterday was one of our hottest days here in SC and I know that it sapped my energy just getting in and out of that heat running errands...it was the first day all season that the A/C couldn't keep the house at the programmed temp....and the humidity was high to boot. Other than that, the one thing that comes to mind since you say you are sleeping and eating enough is that it could be hormonal...if it persists, I would pop in to see your doctor to be on the safe side.

Perhaps a quick call to your physician would be a good idea? My doctor was a terrific source of encouragement when he saw how much weight I'd lost from the last time we visited. I'm about to turn 43 and have started showing permimenopausal symptoms... can't hurt to consult the family doctor when issues arise.
