I’m literally tired all the time.
While folding laundry I realized I have been wanting to fold laundry for the last 6 weeks. But I have literally been too tired to do so. I had the time to do so but I haven’t had the energy. How sad is that?! Today I made it up in my mind that I was going to get this laundry folded and put away. All FIVE baskets of laundry.
Living with endometriosis, 3 kids, a husband, a full time job, a business(check out http://www.tamaralynna.online) and goals is like being on a hamster wheel wanting to get off to do other things and can’t. I have so many things to get done and can’t.
I had surgery to remove the endometriosis back in January 2018, so not too long. I’m not in pain since having the surgery but I am exhausted. Like I can sleep for 8hours at night(I usually don’t) then still take a 4 hour nap and still be exhausted. My husband is convinced that I’m sleep deprived. But it’s seems like sleep isn’t enough. I just want to keep a clean home and enjoy my family.
At this point in my journey I am trying to find ways to eat healthier and boost natural energy. I have read blog after blog after blog and yea….. I am spent. Seems like everything says the same thing. eat this and eat that. exercise. I’ve tried exercising and that just makes me more tired. So Im going to try this eating better thing. Be advised I don’t eat horrible. Like my snacks include, almonds, dark chocolate, almond butter and pita bread, fruit, plain potato chips, and ice-cream. I’ve been drinking more water. I’ve honestly become one those people who carry water with everywhere. my next steps are to cut out coffee(again for the fiftyelemen time) and eat more protein. Wish me luck.
