Lack Of Exercise - Energy Level?

[Sleevorama 56]

Ok.....I'm down 100lbs, I have had my measurements and I've lost a little bit more muscle than they wanted to by this stage, but its not bad. I haven't really done anything but some walking and swimming as far as exercises go. I just joined a gym to start doing weights 3times a week, this starts actually tomorrow. The question I have is that my energy level sucks lately, like for the last week. Before that I had plenty of energy. Are there peeks and valleys in regards to my energy level, and will that be more balanced once I have a "standardized" less sporatic exercise routine?

You may need to take in some more B-12. It really helps give you a boost of energy.

The exercise will definitely help with the energy level. Maybe you need some more Protein? Also, the B12 will help too.

If you are exercising regularly, then you are burning through your stored glycogen reserves. To replace them, you need to up your carb intake a bit. Try adding some additional cooked veggies to your diet.

It helped me.

Great, thank you all. I am currently taking 1000mg B12 daily, should it be more than that??

What ever your taking, you have come a long way, and if you need a little down time, dont! Keep up the good work, and your not going to be able to sit a spell with all the girls a hollering to ya!
