Week 6--Day 38, 39, 40, 41, 42

I don't know why it's gotten hard to post, but it has.  The newness has worn off I suppose. ;) But nonetheless, I still feel accountable to myself to keep posting, so I can look back on these when I'm done and breathe a big sigh of relief that it's over.

I'd say the biggest part about this experience is how time consuming it is.  The food aspect alone can be exhausting. The shopping for specific foods, preparing and eating the same meals, counting servings, etc can get a little annoying.  An hour and a half work-out a day alone has you wondering where time is flying to. I feel like I have literally lost about 4 hours (if not more) out of my usual schedule.  This can cause some insanity with the personal life and relationships. (So beware...) You definitely need a supportive spouse to be there mentally and to pick up the slack, emotionally, physically, psychologically....(I could go on?). Definitely has invaded all aspects of my life.  I have to say though, it has been worth it.  Yes, it's trying, but I feel fabulous!

I have really started to notice the fatty parts of my body slimming down, in some spots there is no longer any (at least visibly) ;).  Muscle is amplifying a ton, especially in the legs, arms, and back.  I can only imagine where I'd be now if I hadn't had to lose that extra nagging baby weight.  Due to that, I don't think I'll be carrying around a six pack when I finish necessarily, but that was never exactly my goal either. 

It's encouraging to be able to do some of the moves that I started out thinking, "*Scoff* Yeeeah, riiiight".  I do dread a few of the work-outs still, but there are a lot that I look forward to.  I would definitely get weights instead of bands for this, because the bands are not giving me enough resistance at this point.  (Ah, to be able to have a full gym and weight-set in the house.....)

And yet again, I've been pondering what my work-outs are going to be like when this is done, because as wonderful as it's been, I have a hard time imagining doing this program again.  Although, I'll definitely use some of the videos in my daily routines. Anyone have suggestions for a well-rounded work-out schedule that they like to do?
