Low iron will certainly result in low energy. My biggest issues these days, being perimenopausal, are the hormonal swings...I never know what my cycle will bring from month to month. I have found that since balancing out my diet with increased protein and just healthier food choices, things have leveled out somewhat.

During that week I have to work really hard on not letting any silly excuses stop me from working out. It's more a mood problem for me. -------------- "One Ring to rule them all; One Ring to find them; One Ring to bring them all, and in the Darkness bind them." -LOTR Trilogy
