My personal favorite anti-nap remedy is one that is on your list - a brisk walk outside. Movement + Sunshine = a tremendous physical and mental boost! Great suggestions!

It helps if I move around and drink water. Sometimes I just feel too lazy and want to sit around the rest of the day.

I'm just like you! I eat the good breakfast and sit at a desk all day. Funny how sitting all day can make you tired! Makes it even more important for me to get up and move! Lisa,
Thanks!

I feel like a hit a wall at around 2pm every day. I usually eat a good breakfast - eggs and turkey sausage. I think because I sit at a desk all day that I just need to get up and move a bit.

That'll prevent you from needing a nap. <strong>Emily</strong>, Good afternoon pick-me-up. You've got the protein, you've got the little ones, you've got the exercise, and you've got the sunshine (even a little on a cloudy day) and breeze to refresh you. :) <strong>Melanie</strong>, Thank you very much! You're afternoon snack sounds great! :) <strong>MizFit</strong>, Too funny. Do what you gotta do! ...Just make sure you can get good sleep at night! :) Sue,

There is something kind of crazy and fun about running in the rain. I am loving reading your blog. I always get that afternoon slump and for me, my snack of choice is a granola bar or string cheese and a bottle of water. It always gives me a little boost before I head to the gym after work.
