For those of you that live in cities with hot/humid weather in the summer, how do you go on walks on your lunch break? I used to live in the Midwest and would step out in my office clothes for about 30 minutes or so and come back and I'd be perfectly fine but I'm in ATL now and I feel so sticky and gross when I do that. I know I could go on a treadmill but I don't want to have to change clothes and I like being outside.

I drive to a nearby mall and walk laps around the inside. You can also do this at target or Walmart. Worst case if there is a cheap gym nearby join it and walk on the treadmill. Not ideal but I need to go on a walk at lunch and this is how I make it work

Smart...thanks for the suggestion!

I moved somewhere less humid 😊

Where'd you go? After one summer here, not sure that it's for me.

I go up and down the stairwell. Kind of drab, but quiet and private. My audiobooks keep me entertained.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
