HKS (Healthy, Kind Support) Accountability Group July 16th

Good Tuesday morning!

One thing about this heat and humidity is that it has given me another reason to want to lose weight: not sweating so much doing basic things. While we were out running errands yesterday, I saw people walking and running and I kept thinking “How can they do that in this heat when I’m sitting in a car sweating?”, and David pointed out how lean they were and therefore probably handled the heat better than we did.

We haven’t left the apartment much in the past few days. Almost all of the activities that we planned for our staycation are outside. We have a list of places where we want to go walking, but it’s just too hot. We will try to go early this morning to a park nearby with plenty of shade.

I went down a rabbit hole yesterday, researching eczema. The flare up in the crook of my arms seems tame, compared to some of the images and videos that I saw. I’m moisturizing like I never have before, even though I hate creams. I’m combatting itchiness by applying an ice pack, which helps to cool me down, so win-win. It did not wake me up as often last night, so maybe my condition is improving?

Wishing everyone a great day and for anyone affected by this heatwave, stay cool 🙂
