It's gonna be a scorcher. Fortunately the humidity isn't bad so it's still possible to do some light chores outside with frequent breaks for large glasses of ice water.

My little lapse on Monday has cost me. After all the raspberry seeds I've been eating, the peanuts at the baseball game on an empty stomach, followed by more berries when I got home, were too much. Whatever my underlying IBS problem is, it was a problem on the past couple of days. Maybe it's a good thing; I've finally scheduled a long overdue general physical exam.

Meanwhile I seem to be on a pretty solid plateau. I'd really hoped to get to my personal goal of another 3 lbs. before this happened but I haven't done as much bicycle riding as I'd planned either. Once this hot spell is over I should be able to do more riding.
