ETK: Day 4 and 5

Yesterday was busy, but I made sure to make time for ETK. I concentrated on my form and although I'm not sure if I am near perfect, it felt pretty good. It's quite warm here now, and we don't have air conditioning, so it didn't take much to get a sweat going. It was a great session and I felt my entire body working while swinging. We took the dogs for a swim afterwards and jumped in ourselves. It was about 7 pm by that time and the beach we went to had lost the sun already, so it was COLD in the water, but invigorating.

I realized on the way home I hadn't eaten since lunch and we were due at a friend's house, so we went home, inhaled some lunch leftovers and flew out the door. Had a lovely evening drinking wine and catching up with some good friends I hadn't seen in too long.

This morning the scale read 159.6 - woohoo!! I know that doesn't mean it will stay there, but it is a downward trend and I am very happy about that. If I can behave myself this weekend, I will be on track to reach my goal of 158. It might not happen by September 1, but it won't be too long after that. I think I will be fine this weekend. It is my Cheat Day tomorrow and I'm not really craving anything. I will be eating what is served to me at the wedding, drinking (too much) wine, and perhaps enjoying a piece of cake, but I can honestly say, I just don't have the cravings for sugar or processed carbs. It's such a good feeling to want to eat healthy and have no desire not to. I've said it before, but the weekly Cheat Day is a big help.

Turkish Getups today after work before we leave for Whistler. I used a 10 lb DB last time, but it was far too light. Today I will use a 15 lb DB and see how that goes. I really should get a lighter KB...

I won't be blogging at all this weekend, but will return on Monday to dish about my weekend. Hopefully another pound lighter!
