Getting into week 7 here after the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm finding it takes a lot of willpower and determination to stay with the program, especially after a "cheat" day like I gave myself on Thanksgiving. It's not that I went overboard on the day, I think it's just the interruption in the habit pattern that made things feel a bit off for the past couple days. Maybe that combined with my hip flexor issue I seem to be having. I ended up substituting a mountain bike ride in for Kenpo on Saturday, and took Sunday as a full on rest day, I think only the second complete day without focused activity (the first being Thanksgiving) while on the program. Felt good on the mountain bike ride, my first since starting the program. I didn't take any data to see if my overall speed has increased, but I felt lighter on the bike and able to burst with speed pretty good.
I'm still seeing results on the scale, in the mirror, and in my clothes fit. I was thinking at the end of last week that I might redo the week that got sidetracked, but since I'm still seeing results I'm not going to worry too much about it...maybe I'll add/repeat a week in the last phase, or when my hip is well enough to let me do the ab workout again.
