but it is not helping LOL. 46 days and no end in sight!!!!! On average we have about 15 days of above 90 degree temps each spring and summer. Last year we had 9. Even worse they are not just low 90's but mid to high 90's and high humidity giving us heat indexes of plus 100 degrees. With no a/c I am sleeping during the day and getting up in the evening. Even that is not helping much the past two weeks. It is not even cooling down at night *sigh*.
We lucked out with some rain last night that cooled things down for about 3 hours. I was able to heat some water and wash dishes but that left me wrung out. I am still trying to stay low carb but I have been too hot to cook most of the time. I had several cans of SF applesauce and some low sugar fruit cups from the low fat days. I tossed them in the fridge and have been pulling them out for my breakfast and suppers.
It is a good thing I gave up sodas, I wouldn't have been able to haul enough home. I go through 6-10 trays of ice each day plus refill and use about 15 water bottles each day. I can't seem to get enough. Oh and Miss Kitty and the dogs expect a couple of ice cubes in their water each time I go into the kitchen LOL.
I was already refreshing it with cool well water several times a day. Well, Miss Kitty came over one day and dipped her head in my insulated mug that was filled with ice and water. I had to fight her to get it away and give her a cup with ice and water. Now I have to fix her a cup of ice water every time I go to the kitchen to get one for me LOL.
Here's an interesting note - canned Fr. cut green beans have very little flavor. During that cool spell yesterday I decided I wanted some spaghetti and was very hungry. I cooked a few hamburger patties, diced them up and added some cheese and a few tablespoons of Ragu garden delight spaghetti sauce. I rinsed a can of the beans and tossed them in. It actually didn't taste much different than having the real thing - just a few more veggies and I enjoyed it.
Happy Dieting
