VOICE REPAIR COURSE - Little hoarseness and draw back after 4 weeks

Hello everyone
I bought the voice repair course, and only a few sessions after doing the first 3 or 4 exercises everyday, i felt an improvement, and so I began to do the whole exercises. My voice started to feel a little tired, so i returned to practice only from the "lip drill" till the "sliders" exercise (excluding this one). Later on, I felt better again and tried the whole thing again, and it felt really good, being able to do the course everyday with clarity and ping in my voice, for at least a week, even using only my chest voice in the last two exercises...
But now, as I'm finishing the 4th week of practice, I started to feel a little hoarseness (not in my talking register, only if I need to speak a little louder), and I can´t do any of the exercises from start to finish without losing phonation in some parts, as if I need to use more air so the sound comes clear (I don't do it, but that's the feeling I get).
I feel this specially on the lower notes, but even in the middle or in the higher ones it doens't sound pristine clear as it did before, and like I said before, some notes don't even come out...
As anyone experienced this?
Should I stop for a day or two, or continue, since the purpose is exactly to bring back the ping?
I think I'm doing the breath quite allright (I never run out of air, even in the "ayyh-aaahhh" exercise, I can combine the two even when Ken stops to say "take a breath", I wait for the "ah" part still singing). I'm not sure if my glotal compression is ok, but at least, as i can sustain the sound for very long and I'm doing the exercises with really low sound, I presume I'm not doing it all wrong...
So, I would much appreciate some answer to this question, as though I'm not a singer, I love singing everyday at home (I needed to stop when I started to feel hoarse, that's why I bought this course), and I hope I can return to it.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Great singing to you all
