Friday:
I'm really struggling with the humidity this week. It was 87% yesterday, which means the air is so saturated with water that when you sweat it has nowhere to evaporate to so the body's cooling system doesn't work. The temperature has been varied, but its very hot some days and will be up to 39C on Sunday. Exercise is twice as hard as usual, it's impossible to sleep, and I just feel tired and listless. I'm always like this with humidity. I remember when we went to Shenzen, China - just over the border from Hong Kong - for a few days and it was so hot and humid I could hardly move. I hated it. Such a relief when we went up into the mountains one day.
Otherwise everything is fine.
But I didn't get much done today.

No vegetables
Friday:
Those tablets seem to be still working, which is awesome, so now I am back to my baseline of obese woman who doesn't take good care of her body and doesn't like hot weather. Actually no one is getting much sleep around here with the horrible humidity. Looking forward to those cooler rainy days forecast for next week!
I had a bit of a "funny turn" earlier. I used to have bad reactions to either low blood pressure or low blood sugar, not sure which, but not serious or often since my diet improved. But today I got home from shopping rather late for lunch and really hot, was warming up leftover Indian food in the microwave while unpacking groceries, suddenly felt really shaky and strange and had to sit down. Ate some quick carbs then lunch, kept trembling for an hour afterwards. It's another reminder I'm not looking after myself in the truest sense. I need to give my body nourishment not just sufficient calories. When I'm not "on a diet" I eat more junky food but more importantly I eat a lot less healthy food. My fruit and vegetable intake goes down to almost zero.
Yesterday for example I think I ate grilled cheese on toast for breakfast; roast beef and potato for lunch; a Paddlepop (ice cream) in the afternoon; crumbed squid, beef vindaloo (meat in spicy sauce) and rice for dinner. A couple of chocolate biscuits. Three cups of tea. I don't think any of those things are particularly bad in themselves, but the menu is definitely missing a lot of things I should be eating. Like vegetables in a variety of colours not just white bread, white potato, white rice as my only plant foods. I'm not doing myself any favours. But I'm having a lot of trouble turning this around.
I did have some salad with dinner tonight! Will do better tomorrow.
