Energy request.

I am not ill.  I have just been feeling slightly ill, or nearly ill, or maybe nearly better? for about a month.  Its getting a bit annoying and I am starting to wonder why it is.  I was working hard.  But I have had a chance to rest of late, and it just doesn't seem to be getting any better.  Like I said, I am not ill, and its not that bad.  I am just tired.  As in, I could nap at any time, and I could sleep from 8.30pm easily.  And I just feel  - lethargic.  I am perfectly able to muster up any energy I need to, to do stuff if I need to, but once that mustering has passed, I just want to sleep. 

I have been reading about going gluten free.  I am wondering if I need to take this step.  It feels like a vicious cycle of lethargy and no energy and then no exercise and weakness leading to less activity etc etc.  It may be just winter and the fact that I am fighting off cold after cold.  I have had slight earache, or a touch of a sore throat, or a minor bit of a cough, but no actual cold or flu or anything. Perhaps I am being really strong and healthy instead by not getting any of these things. 

I dunno.  But I would VERY MUCH like to get a bit more base level energy back in my life. 

What? gluten free? give up caffeine (am definitely cutting down) more yoga? more rest?  HOLIDAY??????? (mmmmm yes please! - somewhere hot and sunny!!)

Your plans sound perfect! (holiday, yes please!) Good luck on the gluten-free, I have heard a lot of good things about it. A cousin of mine is a gluten-free chef in America - she has some seriously yum recipes on her website http://royaltemptations.com/blog - not sure if will be any use to you but thought I'd share just in cases!
Hope you feel a bit more energised soon :) xxx
{p.s. thanks for the comment on my caffeine quittin' - sooo helpful to know other people are in a similar position ;) }

Hi Moira
Fahed has been gluten free for just a few days and already I can notice the difference. Maybe give it a try for a few days and see how you feel?
