Six weeks in

Well, since the TYT book's subtitle is "6 Weeks to a Leaner Younger-Looking You" I guess we should assess things after following the program for six weeks. Actually, today marks six weeks and three days to be exact, but what's a few days here or there when I know I'm going to be following this program for a while yet. In terms of being a leaner "me" there is no doubt, I am. All my clothes fit better and I'm sure I've dropped close to 3-4 inches off my waist. I'm almost two pant sizes smaller in six weeks! My entire body has strengthened, especially  my arms and shoulders. But my legs have also benefited and I am walking with a more confident stride and my slight limp (due to my right hip) is becoming less and less noticeable. There is definitely some shape-shifting going on and some fat weight being traded for muscle. In terms of pure weight loss I'm now at 220lbs, which is about 10lbs less since I "officially" started the program, but it is 14lbs less since I "unofficially" started eating healthier, which was about 10 weeks ago. I guess that's pretty good, but the weight loss has definitely slowed down the past 2 weeks. Whereas I was losing almost a .5lb every 2 days or so, it's now more like a .5lb every week. And while I've missed the odd workout here and there, I haven't done much cheating at all. In fact there is little that tempts me anymore. I have no problem with cravings or saying no to sweets when they are offered to me. I keep telling myself that there's no going back to the way I was. So would I have liked to have lost a bit more weight by now? Sure, who wouldn't. But I'm not discouraged and I'm going to keep with the program for at least another six weeks and see what the results are. I can always add the few optional exercises of the week 3-6 routine if I want to ramp it up some more. I was hoping to hold off on that for a while longer yet though. I'll keep you posted.
