I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say how they are too tired to exercise. Not going to lie, I find myself thinking about that a lot. It's funny how I think about it before every wrestling practice, while I have more energy throughout the day than I do in the off season.
Now I'm not saying the first week or two will be easy, you will most likely be more tired than you would not exercising. This is only because your body is trying to adjust to the new lifestyle. Once your body starts coping with your workouts and isn't sore anymore is when you'll see the improvements in your energy level.
If you are curious about this lifestyle, there is a great, short, article that you should take a look at. This article is about how your body will feel and a couple of other things that go hand-in-hand with your workouts. Exercising is guaranteed to give you more energy and make you feel better about yourself.

Every morning you have a choice
Going through life you can have two mindsets. You can constantly think about, "what really grinds your gears" and keep wishing you had more. You could also take a more positive approach and think of the glass half-full and be grateful for the things you are blessed with. There is always someone out there in a worse position than you. It all starts with choices.
Let's take two people with the same childhood, and see how different their lives are just by the mindset they wake up with each morning. Throughout their childhood they were continuously getting abused and tormented. The first one grew up thinking of how it will all get better, while the other one was more discouraged and didn't believe it would get better.
The positive one received pretty good grades, constantly trying to better himself. After high school he attended college at a university a couple states away to start a new chapter in his life.
The other constantly made excuses, getting grades that barely put him through school. He went to college to just get away.
As time passes they each have families, the optimistic one makes sure his family doesn't experience what he went through. The pessimistic one feels he is the one that deserves the most and when something goes wrong he takes it out on his unfortunate children, allowing himself to be no better than his own parents.
