It's still hot here, but it's not nearly as bad as the miserable, soul-crushing heat of high summer. In a day or two, it'll drop a bit more. The local poplar trees are turning, and I occasionally walk into a spiderweb, so I know autumn is on the way. Hummingbird traffic is way down at my feeders but they haven't stopped coming entirely. Typically I take them down in late October, by which time the migrating stragglers have made their way further south. I'm also hearing the Barred Owls hooting more , so they're becoming active after being fairly quiet over the summer months. The fawns that come around early in the morning have lost most of their spots.
I ran yesterday in one of my older pairs of shoes and now have arch pain, so it's time to retire those. Just having a lot of weird joint aches and pains in general which I attribute to the changing weather. I've also slacked off on weight lifting, which I know would help a great deal, but it's hard to get my brain in gear to just go do it. The Steam Deck doesn't help since it facilitates lying on the couch. But does it really matter what else I'm doing on the couch? I could be reading a book, but either way, I'm not moving around, so it doesn't matter.
So in order to start hitting nutrition goals I'm going to have to meal prep and plan more. I'll get out some of my cookbooks after dinner tonight and do that. I may need to actually put stuff on a calendar or checklist to make sure I actually make and eat things, as I have a very bad, very stupid tendency to log foods in MyFitnessPal and then not actually eat them. And my appetite's been all over the place lately, with some days feeling not hungry at all, and some, like today, feeling ravenous enough to eat a whole camel. Unfortunately for me, Fox is still on a work call so dinner's being a bit delayed.
