Is it normal to be sleepy so much?

I saw below where you said you've had dizziness and blurred vision. I don't want to frighten you, but these could be symptoms of something serious. Do you know what your blood pressure is? It might be a good idea to keep track of that if you're exercising more. Don't overdo the exercise. Even if you want to lose weight, winding up in the hospital is no way to do it. My sister was very heavy and she has COPD and is on oxygen and has knee problems, so she couldn't exercise. Walking across the floor was about all she could do on some days. She made up her mind to lose weight and started limiting how much she ate. She still eats anything she wants, but she eats one normal plate and quits and she doesn't eat between meals. She's lost nearly 75 pounds so far. I don't mean to discourage you when it comes to exercise, but before doing anything very more strenuous from what you're used to, you need to see a doctor, or, at the very least, start with very mild exercises until you've built your body up a little more.

Ive been going easy, but I have to keep fighting through it, because a loss of one day will set me right back to the beginning. This heat wont last forever I just have to be tougher. If anything the heat will help me lose weight faster, but Im not foolish enough to try and run a marathon or anything.

This is the kind of sleepy where you doze off without even realizing it. I do have AC, but its been so hot the unit is unable to keep the room below 80 degrees. The only change Ive made is the added exercise.

That's progress showing. Keep it up. Don't forget pushups. It's vital for developing your core strenght. Upper and lower body strenght. When these muscles develop. You keep burning fat.

My exercise has consisted of carrying laundry groceries and twins up to the third floor. Ive been doing crunches every day and calf raises. My knees dont hurt as much when I walk so Im already seeing some benefits.

Im up to 10 pushups and 50 crunches. Ive been doing my crunches in the tub, which really seems to isolate the stomach muscles while the hot water keeps my back muscles from overstraining.

I think it was partially about hydration. I started during a heat wave which wasnt the best of ideas.

Yes, eat your apples and oranges! Get some colorful veggies and fruits in your diet. One of my old diet books used to say, "Follow the rainbow!" meaning eating plants that are naturally colorful. Don't forget high-protein stuff to help feed those muscles you're working on. Especially right after a work out. If eating right doesn't help, there might be something else wrong and you would need to see a doctor.

Its helped a little. Apples were suprisingly effective. I had no idea they could give you that much energy. It was like drinking a Red Bull.

I have been craving apples and oranges like crazy, so you might be right about the diet. I really dont eat these things very much so it could be that.

I have to keep increasing, because I am still not getting enough exercise to lose weight yet.

I see. Maybe this can help (http://chemist9861.blogspot.com/2012/01/seven-7-habits-that-make-you-fat.html and http://chemist9861.blogspot.com/2012/01/eat-more-food-loose-more-weight.html). This is not promotion. I just want to shar what I read in men's health.

Ive been trying to eat about 6 times a day, but sometimes I get so busy I forget to eat. I've invested in some fruit for more energy so hopefully that will help.

The exercise isn't enough in my opinion. I was capable of so much more when I was younger, I have to be able to do more. I guess I just have to get used to it.

Age is definitely a factor when I was in my 20's I could run up and down a basketball court all day in heat like this.

Probabily your energy level goes down when you become old. My best suggestion is to have a walk on early monring for nearly an hour. I balance my body weight by maintaining proper diet and a walk in the early morning.

Ive been guzzling gatorade and water down like crazy. Today my fiance decided she wanted to go to the fair, and we wound up walking in the sun for 10 minutes for nothing because they were closed.

The heat is really kicking my butt for sure, Im trying to do exercise in doors but its not easy when I have to run errands.

It has to be due to the exercise for sure, because when I was chilling on my laptop I had loads of energy.

I can't do doctors. All they want to do is stick you with needles and bill you a fortune. I should probably start adding some energy foods to my diet. What kinds of foods do that?

You probably aren't in as bad a shape as I am. I havent exercised in over a year, so my body was really putting up some resistance. I'm doing much better, though I still feel a little sleepy.

You are right, the change in routine combined with the heat was really kicking my butt. Compound that with I really only eat meat bread and potatoes I wasn't getting a whole lot of nutrients. I added some fruit to my diet and am drinking green tea in place of soda now.

Im usually good with 6 hours, but lately my body has just been shutting down. I cant help it.

Stressed more than depressed, but over sleeping could be it too.

Ive also been experiencing, dizziness and blurred vision. My eye has been twitching a lot as well. Maybe youre right about the fluids, because Ive been extra thirsty as well.
