So, in 30 days of 100° weather, you've lost 150-210 lbs.?!? 
Jerk. 
Your tax is the highest in U.S., right? Or darn near it.
80% humidity w/. index of well over 120? I thought Tx was a dry heat. Sorry, I can't handle heat, not what u guys get. I guess it depends on what you're used to. 
Also, as I've gotten older, my tolerance for extremes, be it cold or hot, has gotten worse. Used to be I wasn't bothered by below 0° - 30 or so. That kills me know. And heat, much over 80, unless it's low humidity & / or a nice wind. IDK how u guys in TX do it for 4 mos. Like I said, y'all are used to it to some degree.
Cost of living can be a game changer.

We normally are around 100 from June to September but the rest of the year is pretty damn nice IMO if you like warmer weather. Our winters only get down in the 30s a handful of times and we can play outside year round so you cant beat it IMO.
I just bought a 4 bedroom 2 bath just shy of 1800 sq ft for a little over 100K, it was a foreclosure but in good condition and was built in 04 on a decent sized corner lot. Our cost of living is WAY lower so you could take a 50% paycut and probably increase your standard of living.

I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

makes me appreciate the office i work in. i come in before anyone else and set the a/c to 68* and let the thing chug away for an hour or two. never gets below 69* for some reason so constant flow is amazing. ahhh..the life of computer nerds. physical labor? nahhh
