Summer and Dieting is Like..

I hate this weather!  Yesterday in my house it was 93 and in the one room with a portable AC, it was like 86.  I did not spend my time in there because it feels like a prison.  Thankfully I tolerate heat moderately well with a fan and no movement so I spent my day doing exactly that and watching new movies.  By the end of the day, I was done with being hot and I was happy to go into the AC for a mildly good night sleep albeit not great.  Anyway, this weather makes me not want to go to the gym because everyone and their brother will be there which is not fun.  I don’t even want to move.   The best I can do right now is ride my bike here at the house, run if it’s cooler or I take a walk.

Eating in the summer is awful for me because I don’t want to move but I still like eating.  Fruit on Keto is not good but in 100 degrees all I want is fruit.  Keeping hydrated when you’re hot naturally includes water but when you see a slab of Watermelon sitting in your fridge, before you know it you’ve horked it down like a slob!  It tastes oh so good but there go 40 carbs with ONE THING when you only get 20 for the day!  Grapes are out of the question too not to mention the 12 carbs I consumed with the Nectarine I ate after dinner and well then there was the 92 carb S’mores Blizzard from DQ (that was just my half) that I shared with my husband because it’s just so hot.  so in those three snacks alone, I ate 144 carbs which is AN ENTIRE WEEK’S ALLOTMENT!  Fuck You Summer!  So let us look at this clearly.  My workouts are fewer, my eating has hit Summer mode which all adds up to why my gut is getting bigger and the scale and I are no longer talking.  So not happy.  I have to get myself under control.  I’m headed in the opposite direction of my “50-year-old, in the greatest shape of my life” that I had set for myself.  UGG I’m so disappointed in myself, to say the least.  Today is a new day and no better time to start over than today.
