I went on a shortened walk today because of the heat much to my Astonishment today.
It’s only 72 and sunny, but I was wearing my jeans and a tank top and I got way too hot. I easily overheat due to my psych meds and just my genetic make up so trying to power walk in the most intense part of the day was probably a bad move. I also got too much sun on my face. That’s thanks again to the meds making me photosensitive and my genetic makeup.
I could feel the band of skin tightening across my forehead when I was still 3/4 of a mile from my house and it had turned into a full blown headache with dizziness by the time I got back to my house.
I had been hoping that the weight loss would help with my summer issues, but apparently not.
It’s supposed to be 80 tomorrow, but with a 20 mph breeze so that will make it pleasant.
I will still probably try to get my walk in during the morning however, instead of the middle of the afternoon, if I don’t decide to take a day out of the sun entirely and hit the dreaded treadmill instead. I just walk more slowly on the stupid thing than I do outside. Go figure.
I’ve drunk about a gallon of ice water and now I think I need a nap. I always forget that 72 is enough to take me out. I did this last year too. Oh well.
Old art by me.
Good night. I am out too. 😀

Feel better soon. Its tough adjusting to the sun and heat, and I’m sure the meds add to the fun. A hat is a fine thing, too–I have a big lightweight straw one that is SPF shading and it helps a lot. Tough on the hair (what do) but not getting sick makes it so worth it.

The funny thing is, I just got an awesome big white floppy hat in Hilton Head. I just didn’t think to wear it. Mostly because I thought it would make me hotter. Lol.

That’s one of the reasons I like my very well ventilated straw. The shade and the air flow overall out weigh the heat from the band. Tricky balance.
