I'm making an effort to up my exercise right now, but it's a struggle. My main problem is fatigue. When I start getting the level of exercise I'd like, it interferes with my ability to work at the level I like to. I literally get so tired at the office in the afternoons that I feel dizzy and nauseous sometimes. Sadly, I rely on Diet Coke and chocolate to remain upright. I'm a go-to person in my office, and I take pride in that. I might have retirement in my sights (621 days, not that I'm counting), but I can't phone it in because I don't want to let anyone down and my boss won't let me. He's a great boss, but he knows what I'm capable of and he asks it of me. I always am told that exercise will end up giving you more energy, but sometimes I feel like the exception to that rule. I have a ton of sick leave in the bank, and I'm thinking I need to start using it on the days I feel that way. He's good about random time off, mercifully.

Can anyone else relate?

Are you sure the nausea and lightheadedness is from fatigue, and not low sodium levels or low blood pressure? I don't know when you exercise, but maybe aim for your lunch hour or right after work instead of the a.m. It is normal to feel a slump around 3 p.m., especially if your lunch was filling.

What kind of exercise do you do? And post workout meal do you eat?

Yes! I feel this in my soul. JustBananas may be on to something - your sodium may be too low to support your current activity level - among other electrolytes. I do an electrolyte drink mix (Ultima brand, the lemonade flavor is really good). Depleted electrolytes can cause wicked fatigue. I buy the box of single-serve sticks to put in 16 ounce bottles of water. I drink one before I work out, then sometimes one after, depending on the intensity of my workout. Also...now that you are working out, you may want to consider/weigh the pro's/coms of upping your protein, or maybe look into a supplement that supports your WOE. But definitely try the electrolytes first - you will feel much better! Mountain biking is hard work!

JB - I almost never exercise in the mornings, because I've been like this for years -- it drains rather than energizes me, and I find it difficult to work. The other day when it happened, I'd gone on an easy, 10-mile bike ride the evening before. Calling what I do a "workout " is probably generous 😜. I get a reasonable amount of sodium and don't have issues with low blood pressure.
