TiredMamaNeedsCoffee 0 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I got through my lack of caffeine headaches and didn’t want to kill all of the people the past couple days. Today however I slept though all of my alarms and passed out again after dropping my daughter off at the babysitters (late). I got gone and needed to log in to work and passed out for 2 more hours instead- not caring very much when I did wake up and realize how late it was. I am trying to work now and I have my black coffee, but I’m struggling- moving super slow, weak and tired. I know this is supposed to pass but what can I do to keep up with my job and my 2yr old in the meantime? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TiredMamaNeedsCoffee 0 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 I should also add that I feel sore even walking up the stairs. That started yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
laura_juggles 530 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 What are you eating? What have you been eating for the last several days? Sounds like it could be a combination of missing caffeine and not eating enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TiredMamaNeedsCoffee 0 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Yesterday I did forget breakfast so it was black coffee for breakfast, a medium potato, compliant ham, spinach, salsa and 2 eggs for lunch, pork roast,salad and half of a sweet potato for dinner. I also had a small bowl of fruit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
laura_juggles 530 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 That's definitely not enough food. Are you also getting enough water? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TiredMamaNeedsCoffee 0 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 I can try upping it but I do drink quite a bit. Should I make meals bigger or would a snack between meals be ok? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
laura_juggles 530 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Probably start by making sure that you're getting enough protein, veg, and fat at each meal...your meals look a little light on the fat too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
