NOTE: I've been taking the L-Tryptophan, GABA and magnesium supplements the past couple of nights and I've noticed my sleep has already improved. I guess my body is still trying to make up for the lost sleep lately because after I got home from refereeing Upward basketball at my church this morning, I came home and CRASHED! In fact, I didn't even stop to eat lunch before the bed called my name. I rested for about three hours and woke up feeling amazing. It's funny how your body craves rest just as much as it wants food when you're hungry. In my quest for becoming more self-aware about the needs of my body, rest is something I've been focusing more and more on lately. We'll see if it translates into more weight loss (or at least continuing what I've been doing for the past month). When I woke up from my nap, Christine asked me to help finish painting our new shed that I bought her for Christmas. The tall parts of the shed needed to be finished off and I dutifully took care of it with my 6'3" body. I told her she only married me for my height. :D After doing weight lifting on my arms yesterday, I could feel it painting--WHEW! But, as we say here in the South, I "got 'er done!"
