Any brilliant solutions for post workday exhaustion?

I work in an office, and sit on my fat duff all day long.  My job is mentally exhausting, but physically, not at all.  By the time I leave this hell hole, I mean, fabulous place of employment, I can’t stop yawning.  The only thing I want to do when I walk in the door is take a post workday nap…but that screws with my regular sleep schedule.  I’m a morning gym goer, so I’m getting my exercise in…but I’m still so frickin’ beat by the time I get home.  I’ve even tried drinking a diet Coke before I leave…but to no avail.  So, does anybody have an great ideas that might boost my energy for the afternoon slump?  I’ve even tried going for walks at lunch in addition to my morning routine…but I still feel like Rip van Winkle.  Help!!

    What about just blasting some music and dancing around to lift your mood or taking a walk after work instead of at lunch or in addition to your lunch walk.

    OMG…sweetie I totally thought I was the only one!! Except I’m worse then you cause I’m not a morning person, so I don’t work out at all. Pretty much, as soon as I get home I walk my dog. Then after that I feel energized again. Try going out for a walk as soon as you get home. Hope that helps!! :D

    I too work in an office all day so I feel ya. I work out right after work so there is no opportunity for me to see the couch and want to lay down. For you I agree with the other too posts. You don’t have to workout again but just stay active. Clean your house or take a leisurely walk. I think it is a mental thing. We sit here all day and it makes us mentally tired but if you think about it after sitting all day the last thing our bodies need is a break. They need to be stretched and warmed up and worked out! I hope this helps you!
