Another week is gone.

Today marked the end of week 3, with some X stretching and rest.  Some of those stretches were overdue, because lately I've been sore and tight.  Tomorrow will be a nice transition to week 4, beginning with some Yoga X.  This will probably be one of my favorite weeks in the program, working all areas that I am concerned with:  cardio, core, and flexibilty.  There is no ab ripper in week 4, and I'm not sure if that makes me happy or not lol.  I hate doing ab ripper, but when I'm finished I feel invigorated.  I love the feeling of accomplishment afterward; although I still can't keep up fully.  But I work my butt off, and I'm positive the effort will be worth it in the end.  I continue to see small changes here and there, which helps my motivation.  I've also realized that after this program comes to an end, I can't expect to look like them folks on the dvd.  That will take some time.  However, I hope to see a fairly new me once this is said and done.  And after the program ends, I'll just start it back up again; only next time with more resistance, weights, and effort.
