Advice For A Little Energy Boost?

Question

So, I'm 9+5, and up until now, I've been able to tolerate about 4-8oz of coffee to give me a bit of an energy boost to get me UP out of bed or off the couch to start on something. After that, I'm pretty good to go. (Also, when I say I tolerate, I mean I have a nice little aversion to it, especially with the smell of it brewing. But when I actually SIP on it, I'm "ok" with it) Well, this morning I couldn't even sip on it :( Anyone have any healthy energy boosts that have helped them through the day?

Answer

I haven't had any coffee since I found out. It's very tough. I have noticed if I stay hyrdrated, eat small light meals throughout the day it helps. It's all worth it though right?!

Answer

God, I hate to say it, but you are probably just going to have to grit your teeth and be tired for the first few months. I know it fucking sucks so bad. My first trimester I literally fell asleep at a long red light AFTER 11 hours of sleep! (Minus the pee breaks of course) If it makes you feel better though, you should know that I never had the amount of energy in my life that I had in the second trimester. Not a DROP of caffeine. I could go go go all day and all night. Barely needed sleep. It WILL get better! For me at was like 16 weeks and bam! I was good!

Then 32 weeks hit and that's a whole different kind of tired... Lol. But all I'm saying is don't beat your self up about being tired. Your body is doing some hardcore shit. I hope you feel better soon!

Answer

My friend swears by Shaklee products, so I ordered their protein shake from her. Having one in the morning has helped me. Good luck!

Answer

I've been dying without my coffee lol I haven't tried these yet but there are these drinks called Boost It Up that are supposed to be good, I think you can get them at Walmart. Also, I read that getting enough protein will also help you to not feel so tired.

I've heard that eating an apple can boost energy 😊 maybe try a sugary juice

Answer

I'm having the same problem... The smell of coffee is gross right now. I've been having tea. It also soothes the tummy.
