Any Michigander's hating the heatwave?

I live in Michigan, and the past 6 days have been over 90 degrees. So irregular! It really is not helping me in the exercise department. I love to run(actually lost 15lbs last yr, just from running, then got pregnant), but in this heat, I like to sit in the AC and eat popsicles(Edy's no sugar added real fruit pops) with my kids. I haven't had any weight fluctuation since I haven't been exercising(duh!!). Anyone else feeling the heat?

Just one state under you and it has been miserable... 116 yesterday and 113 today with the heat index. Humid, too. Do want cooler weather soon.0

Miserable here in Kalamazoo... wish the temps would cool down so I could go outside more!0

I feel your pain!! I live in Windsor, Canada, just across the border from you. Hopefully we don't have many more days left of this heatwave!!0

I lived in MI for 31 years, and I know the humidity can be killer, reside in Austin TX now, and it has been in the triple digits for the better part of 5 weeks now, but the humidity isn't there, I love it0

Yes!!!! I live in souteast MI and have been wanting to run but its to dang hot! I just had a baby at the end of April and wanted to go for morning walks with her this week before I go back to work from maternity next week...no can do...ITS TOO HOT0

I'm also in the suburbs of Detroit, and OMG!! I'm doing my very very best not to complain because I'll take the heat over the snow any day, but working out has been a nightmare! I'm being extra vigilant about drinking water, and I hope all of you are doing the same! Try to stay cool! :glasses:0

This Hoosier has had enough of it also. High 90's for weeks and into the triple digits last couple days. It sucks, but I have been running. I try to go at dusk, drink extra water all day, and route my run through neighborhoods so I can get several cooling sprays from the sprinklers. Just think how much easier our runs will seem once it cools off. :happy:0

It is miserable! I haven't been out walking in days--just the bare minimum on the Wii. I miss my early morning walks!0

Southeastern MI baby and it is HOT, HOT, HOT...and humid. UGH...staying inside mostly thank goodness the gym has good air...us Michigan folk are not used to this craziness, give me 10 degrees any day over this...I like cozy fires and cold weather allows this..not this hot crap we are getting right now, air conditioner can't even keep up0

I'm not a Michigander, I'm a Marylander, and the heat is on along the east coast too. It's been in the 90's all week and today it hit 101, Friday to be 103 and Saturday 102 is forecast. Those are the temps WITHOUT the humidity. Today the air was so saturated and hot you couldn't catch your breath. It's 11pm and still 89 degrees. No exercise going on in the outdoors for me. I love cold weather.0

It's over 34 states so it's not just us. Crazy heat!0
-
I am from Ohio and its miserable hot here. Can't wait for the heat to be gone. I bought a bike a week ago and its been too hot to ride. I REALLY want to ride my bike!!! Keep the water going in everyone and it will hopefully be over soon!!!0

Sweltering in New Jersey too with temps in the 100s and high humidity. Yesterday I was just barely able to get my morning walk in but felt really sick for a little while after with fatigue and nausea. Decided to pass on a workout today because ending up in the ER with heatstroke isn't worth it.0

Suburb of Detroit here, and I am DYING. I also am having a bout of Vertigo from (supposedly) flying so I am not running outside until it's cooler and the world stops spinning : (0

I know what you mean. Yesterday was brutal. Walking to my car at lunch, I thought I would melt before I got there.
I did go to my Olympic lifting class yesterday. It was slightly cooler inside, but not much. I probably lost 5lbs of sweat! (I wish, but I do know that I was able to wring out my handkerchief that I use to wipe my sweat while I was working.)
You can try to get out in the mornings before it gets too hot for your run. Plus, we're cooling off now, only going into the low 90s today!! (That's really sad.)
Good luck and stay cool!!0 -
I'm in SE Michigan and yes I am tired of it. It's really put a halt on my outdoor activity. My dog is my jogging partner and she's a golden retriever with tons of hair so its WAY too hot for her (and me). But seeing the disappointment in her eyes every morning when I don't grab the leash is killing me..0

Not Michigan, but close enough.. Suburbs of Chicago IL. It's hotter and then hot over here.. and finally right now, is it raining!
I've only been to the gym twice this week because its so hot.. but I did lift yesterday and plan to go at least once this weekend!0 -
YES!!!! I really want to be able to get outside and be active instead of being in the house all day!! But I am thankful that I have AC because not all people do!0

Was better today, though still humid.0

Congratulations on your new addition!!0
