It’s entirely too warm; the next month is going to be rough if I base things on this morning. The watch told me it was 79ºF, which is already too warm for me, but the gravel was still radiating heat from yesterday and so it felt a little like standing in front of the dryer while pulling out clothes. It’s not exactly unbearable, but it’s a lot of heat coming from unusual angles.
Speaking of clothes, sorta… I’m in the midst of a plateau at the moment. They happen; in fact, they happen a lot. But I break through them eventually so I’m not stressed about it. I wanted to wait until I was down to 250 pounds before I got some new clothes, but it seems like I’m just inching my way down to that, so I broke down and got a few shirts, a couple pairs of shorts, and some leggings. That should do for the summer; I am still hoping to get some stuff that fits better later this year. Some people have been bothered by my threadbare shirts and ripped sweatpants. Those things don’t bother me, but I am honestly annoyed by the fit of my clothes. It is definitely past the point where I like how everything just hangs on me. That was a nice reminder of progress, but it can be annoying, especially pants that never want to stay up.
Yesterday, I went from being mildly under the weather to fully feeling sick and then better by the time I went to bed. I’m still feeling it, but my body seems to be handling the threat pretty well. I’ll probably spend the day hydrating and not doing a whole lot. I always have a lot to do, but I don’t want to push myself and then end up getting sick. That’s far less convenient than taking things a little easier for a couple of days.
