Hot weather, love it or hate it?

I just wondered how everyone is getting on with the warm weather?
I don't sleep too well but strangely I don't get as tired during the day as I normally would do with so little sleep
I definitely eat less
exercise is harder as I hate getting overly hot and sweaty but an advantage to not sleeping is I've been up at 5 so it's a lot cooler then.
What have other people found, a diet boast or has it knocked you off your routine?

I find that I eat healthier with more salads and fruits in the summer and definitely drink more water than I usually do without forcing myself. I am tired though but that's because my dogs are waking me extra early due to the sun being up earlier and all the wildlife waking up around where I live and making a noise bright and early - peacocks are the worst lol!
Just like you I find working out in the heat harder so if I can do my workout in the morning will do that.
As for other things I like the nice weather when I'm not stuck in the office having to work! :-)0 -
I'm a lot less active, although it's obviously a lot more comfortable since I weigh less and I'm fitter,
but still I prefer the cold.0 -
Love it! Eating much better, drinking way more water and exercising the same! I have to say I would swap our usual rubbish summers for this any day!0

One one hand it's a lot nicer to eat nice healthy salads etc but on the other hand all I want to do is sit in a nice beer garden drinking lovely cold beer. I always get the munchies when I drink so that's definitely not good for my diet.:)0

I love it....
Except when I try to beat my time on cycle ride!!0 -
I'm loving it, the sun wakes me up early and I love going for a run with the dog then cooling off in the river. I eat much healthier in the sun. I'm having ten times more water too.
The only thing I hate is trying to do the housework but thats a thing whether it's hot or cold.0 -
I love it, and it's a lot more comfortable since I've lost weight.0

The problem is the quick swings in temp change. It wouldn't be so bad if it was this hot from May thru' August; we'd all aclimatise easily. As it is, the heat is uncomfortable at night and by the time we're used to it it will be back to 18/20 deg and we'll all be moaning it's cold.
On the plus side, I'm seeing the golf course a lot more often.0 -
Hate it, im on my 'long' week at work (7/8days in work)
Working in a residential care home, cant get any air in the building and 2/3 of the floors are beyond unbearable!
Not knowing what to eat because 9/10 im cooking it!
Finding it hard to concentrate on coursework due to heat created headaches.
Cant seem to build up motivation to sweat it out on the cross trainer.
Love it, on my days off,
when im having salad,
to dry my washing (more money not being spent on electricity bills)
Long drives with music blaring out....
The sun is for the wealthy work-nots, the work shy and the scroungers.
The sun is NOT for the workers who are enclosed in offices with no a/c, care homes with no a/c0 -
LOVE IT! Feel so much better when it's hot and sunny - eat loads of fruit and drink lots of water and the bonus this year is my ankles haven't swelled up since I lost the weight

I like the sun, but it's a bit too hot for me at the moment.I prefer it bright but fresher. Good thing is I don't feel like eating so much in hot weather,and I can enjoy a cooling swim.0
-
Both really.
Pros:
Makes me happier, seems to make everyone less grumpy
Nice tan
Appetite reduced
Cons:
South West Trains - free sauna with every journey
Hard to sleep
Too hot to cycle0 -
Its great not too be cold and wet but I'm not enjoying it as much as normal as it is too hot to run and even the gym is very warm.
Plus the kids are grumpy through lack of sleep and the heat.0 -
I love the sun. I struggle so much over winter to keep warm and am always cold and having to layer up loads. The one thing I do hate is air conditioning in our office. I actually have to put cardigans on and then when I step outside at the end of my shift I don't feel very warm and have to warm up.
Admittedly sleeping isn't as comfortable but I'd rather forego the sleep and enjoy the weather than be cold and wet.0 -
I would love to love it, but I'm struggling!
Mostly it's not being able to sleep due to the heat- it means I eat junk because its quick and gives me the energy I need, I don't feel myself and I really struggle to exercise due to the heat and tiredness. Also my boyfriend doesn't cope well either so he's very grumpy
I am, however, loving the long days0 -
Having moved to Newcastle in October and freezing mu b*tt off from November to March I'm loving it. I don't know if it was especially cold this winter but at times my bones were cold.0
-
Loved it to start with, Hate it now, Its messing with my work outs, making me tired, and making me HATE being at work

Love it, as I am on the 5:2 it makes fasting days so much easier as I don't want to eat. 0

Love it, the only challenge I am finding is the heat makes it harder to do outdoor exercise. That being sad would much rather than sun than snow!0
-
Love it..... eating lovely salads, drinking lots of water, love the walking when it is warm, makes you feel so much happier and everyone seems more sociable0

Hate at this precise moment in time.
I have been suffering from sunstroke for the most part of the week and only really just getting over it. Sods law, I wear all the sun cream, drink twice as much as the two people I were with put together - and I suffer. I have eaten pretty shoddily since then, and definitely no exercise. I could barely move to go make myself food, let alone go do some exercise! But now I'm back to normal in terms of eating, hoping to get out tomorrow for exercise.
I like looking at how pretty outside is, but if I do go outside, it'll be in the shade. I do not make any effort to sit in the sun, if I am out and about - so be it. I think we do need some rain though.0 -
Love it! End of.0
-
love it! its tough working in it and trying to sleep is a nightmare however I would choose this sunny weather over dark wet windy days anytime!0
-
Love it during the day - great for going out walking in the sun.
Hate it at night - when I can't sleep!0 -
Hate it! I find it almost suffocating when it's this hot and it's so muggy and sticky. I might enjoy it more if I was thinner and could wear "proper" summer clothes (i.e. shorts, vests, etc.), but I don't feel I can wear this sort of stuff at my current weight.
But anyway, give me winter and minus temps any day!0 -
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT
I sweat really badly anyway, we run at 9am so it's pretty warm by then work in and around the garden most days and then go for a dip in the sea about 6pm
We like salads anyway but right now there in abundance.
Beer is really hard to stay away from
Did I mention I LOVE IT0 -
Love it, but find appetite isnt so good0
-
I like it but its not good been a fat lad in it but i much prefer the cold weather suppose i am used to it been from the North East.0

Love it! I feel the cold very easily and long, harsh winters make me miserable. I feel more relaxed when the sun is out and I notice other people smile more too. I work in an air-conditioned office so I'm comfortable during the day and when I go outside I get a welcome blast of warm air. Also gets my washing dry in record time (though that means the ironing pile reaches record heights!). Like most others I have trouble sleeping but I find that a cool shower at bedtime helps.
When the heatwave was forecast the cynic in me thought: Hose pipe ban, here we go. But I read this week that there are no such plans because the long, wet winter means that all the reservoirs are at the right levels!
