It's no secret, I am knackered! A constant nagging 'woman-on-the-edge-of-exhaustion' feeling has taken over my life the past year or so. It affects everything I attempt to do, from dropping (and breaking) china whilst washing up, to breaking down in tears when one more thing doesn't go to plan.And before you ask, I DID got to the doctor who said I wasn't suffering from depression, just difficult circumstances and I needed to rest! Yeah, right!A recent survey of 1002 mums with children under ten by Opinion Matters for B Record Plus, a liquid food supplement by sigma-tau, on the effects of exhaustion revealed that an astonishing 77% of mums forget why they have started a task and 76% regularly misplace items such as keys and mobile phones (I do this all the time and usually end up running around and flapping like a headless chicken until keys/phone/purse turn up exactly where I put them down...) One in five didn't feel safe when driving the school run due to tiredness and 71% privately admit that they are left exhausted with the toll of everyday life and motherhood.
It would seem I am not alone...
So when I was offered a 10 day trial pack of B Record Plus to judge it's energy boosting effects for myself I jumped at the chance. In a lovely briefing email I had I was told not to expect to see results instantly as the micro nutrients take a couple of days to do their work. I am on day 3 and to be honest not noticing any great difference yet but another 5am wake up call from the Little Man has probably not helped...
I really hope the effects kick in soon as I could do with a boost (or a kick up the backside) to get me back on the exercise bike!
And so for all you MUMenTUM ladies here's a little video by B Record Plus with Nell McAndrew giving us some simple exercise tips. I will keep you updated on my energy reclaiming process!!
I will watch your progress with interest. Your words are all too familiar with me. I hate feeling like life is passing me by because I'm just too knackered to actually experience it with my eyes properly open.
ReplyDeleteGood luck reclaiming the energy xxx
If that B record plus starts to work let me know as I am tired and drained all the time lately xxx

Hope you get your mojo back soon, by the way great blog now following you x
ReplyDeleteI totally get the exhaustion thing, and then you feel guilty for not have the energy to want to do anything. But hopefully getting healthy will help give you a boost. Have you had your thyroid checked? Sometimes under active can make you sluggish and put on weight. x
ReplyDeleteI often feel exhausted too, and I'm always forgetting & losing things.
ReplyDeleteSince I stepped my healthy eating up a gear when I joined the MUMenTUM ladies I have been feeling better though - I put it down to the extra water I've been drinking & cutting down on the carbs.
Good luck with the B Record Plus & I hope it gives you more energy soon
