I’m not even going to scare myself by thinking about worse case scenarios, but I’ve been seriously fatigued as of late. I know, I know, after yesterday’s post which wondered out loud whether I’m doing far too much the reason for the fatigue should be obvious. In the past week, I’ve fallen asleep on the couch four times. I’m not talking about simple napping either. Often, I find myself sitting on the couch…then I find myself needing to get comfortable in a horizontal position while listening to music. Then, after a blink or two I suddenly find that hours have passed and it’s suddenly the middle of the night. I’ve done so in my work clothes and in my running gear. The lights are often on in the kitchen and in the living room.

Yes, I know that it’s a horrible habit.

I need to figure out what to do with myself. Perhaps I’m just not eating enough. Before I was saying that I was eating too much, and now not enough? Well, my current caloric ranges are based on me burning around 2450 calories through exercise per week. Last week I went over 4000. So, it’s possible that I’m under-eating by a little bit. Still, I don’t want to raise my ranges and sabotage my efforts like I did over the holiday period. Then again, I totally am burning way more calories now that I’m late into my training cycle, so it’s a legit concern.

Fatigue isn’t so bad on occasion, but when it starts blocking me from getting some things accomplished, then I know that there are bigger issues afoot. On my way home I was thinking about how I wanted to bake something because it’s been a long time since I’ve done so. Now that I’m here, the fatigue just kind of hit me over the head. It shouldn’t be a struggle to do something that I so obviously want to do.

Anyway, I’m not whining. I just need to get my thoughts in order.

And I need to get a good night’s sleep.
