Rest is a Key!

We had one of those rare sunny days yesterday, and my hubby and I were really wanting to take advantage of it and go for a walk. It was my prep day for my foods, so it took awhile to get everything cut, weighed and in freezer bags.
By the time I was done, I was feeling a little shaky and lightheaded. I thought that I just needed to eat my lunch, get off my feet for a few minutes, and I'd be ready to go. In the past, if I was feeling this way, I'd just run up to Starbucks and get a latte. That energy boost from the caffeine and sugar would get me through whatever I needed/wanted to do.
But I am not drinking coffee during this diet. I know I can, but I like it sweet with milk and seemed like the perfect time to break the habit, anyway. So, instead of just 'pushing through' my weariness, I listened to my body and took a nap. A THREE HOUR nap! Now, I had gotten a full nights' sleep the night before, and I have been sleeping just fine. However, I know that my body is going through a lot of changes right now, so I gave myself permission to sleep.
I woke up and got on the scale, and I'd lost over a pound! It's still off this morning! So, from now on, if I hit a plateau, I'm going to nap! =)
It's not as good weather today, but I have trees calling to me... Tootles!
