Moody...Lathargic

[gymmum]

Hi girls just need some advice on being moody and very lathargic. I am feeling so lathargic that is even an effert to cut up a salad or to prepare any meals, I,m not sure if it has anything to do with training or diet or if it just me. I,m constantly snappy, and inaffectionate. I normally have a good sex drive, but it has deminished to the point of almost non existant. Can anyone help?

How is your carb intake? Too low and you get serious modd swings and change in how you feel emotionally.

What is your training like? If you are not giving your body sufficient time to rest, then that can cause problems like this.

Water intake? Maybe you are dehydrating yourself on a consistent basis.

Where are you in your cycle? It could be hormonally related.

Sleep? Are you getting enough?

ONe of these things, or a combination, can wreak havoc on your emotional well-being.

What supps are you taking if any? Could also be the heat, as I know that's what has me down and out.

Necia, I am only taking protein supps at the moment but think I should be on more as I have a comp in 10 weeks. It is really cold here as I'm an Aussie and are in the middle of winter.
