The temperature has reached record highs in Vancouver and everyone is talking about the heat. To people who live in places where humidity and temperatures in the mid to high 30s are expected during the summer months, Vancouverites must seem like big whiners. In our defense, many places don’t have air conditioning. I’ve spoken to so many people who are sleep deprived because it’s just too uncomfortable to fall asleep at night. Luckily for me, I have air conditioning at home. But there is no air conditioning at work so it’s been unbearably hot and the fans don’t help much in this weather. I’ve been feeling lethargic and I hate to admit it but I’ve avoided working out this week. After a day at the office, I just want to go home and enjoy the air conditioning.
That is my biggest problem trying to maintain a regular workout schedule – I always find an excuse to avoid it.
Perhaps I should incorporate fitness into my daily life. Instead of driving, I should walk more or ride my bike. Yes, that’s what I’ll do. After the heat wave.
