I was doing ok with energy by walking every day but the crappy weather the past few days took care of that. I've also been having very strange dreams and I wake up feeling very anxious like something very ominous is going to happen. It usually dissipates after I'm up for awhile but it's all very unsettling.

I haven’t had as much energy for any workouts lately. I just want to do light things to keep moving, but the thought of challenging myself with weights right now is just ugh.
But paradoxically it helps with stress, so I am still going to do it. But yes, walks are good for the soul. |

I tried doing a happy workout-Richard Simmons Sweatin to the Oldies 5-and I lasted fifteen minutes. Sigh...I will maybe try another segment later. This is just discouraging. I wonder about getting cardio capacity back.
I wish I enjoyed walking outside, but I just don't. I'm not a gardener, either. Scorpio6, I am sorry about your local restaurant. Are they shutting down for good, or just for now? We don't eat out often, but a local Chinese is a favorite place of ours and we hope they survive. Our favorite Italian place should be okay. They were featured on the Food Network and have an extremely loyal local following. They are doing curbside pickup which has long lines (read about it on their Facebook page). Our other favorite place which is an hour away could end up closing. It's in my hometown and we went on a lot of our first dates there, so it's a sentimental place for us. I am afraid to check their social media. I am sorry others are struggling also. Sherry

I'm another one with really low energy these days. I suspect none of us is sleeping well because of coronavirus stress and that is underlying everyone's tiredness. Plus, it's really hard to be motivated if you never go anywhere or do anything. We are trying to walk (and exercise) daily, but outside walking and Bar Method is about all I can work up the energy for.

Yep, I've been feeling pretty blah. Watching movies, reading. The weather is nice today so I'm going to try to get outside.
Also, food stuff is making me feel low level anxious all the time. Like -- I'm able to get some stuff (though not always what I normally get or want) but the *mental energy* of trying to figure out well-rounded, healthyish meals for the household...it's exhausting. I've given up meal planning, and am just keeping a running list of things in the freezer and potential meals that can be made. Then I check them off as we eat them. |

I'm feeling the same way! I feel tired and low energy all of the time even though I'm getting a lot of sleep and DH is saying the same thing. Comforting to know it's not just us. Also binge watching Ozark - my new favorite series - and rewatching Harry Potter films. Anything but the news!
