I'm low carb these days, but I don't think I could manage 20 grams a day. I'm nearing my target weight as I choose healthy carbs and during this process making sure everything runs smoothly - enough fiber to feel good. Not eating what in the western world is considered breakfast - cereal, toast, bagels, etc. I had some lean lamb with a generous side of steamed asparagus this morning, and lunch will be a nectarine with plain whole-milk Greek yogurt (and some monkfruit drops to sweeten the yogurt). If I add 1/4 cup of my homemade nutty yogurt that pushes my carbs a bit outside my goal set on MyFitnessPal, but the gut is happy. And it still ends up about 20% of my daily intake being carbs. A piece of tilapia, a salad and a big tomato for dinner will round out the day.

The piecemeal approach to yard work continues. Before breakfast I spent 15 minutes in the front yard with the mower knocking down the tall grass around the big patches of groundcover. It's another heat advisory day, so pacing yourself is the way to go. Now to work my way down the list of online things I have to accomplish.

Dorothy, are you far enough north that the end of August is a bit cooler? How is your garden and do you still have a house full of plants?
