10 in 10 Challenge!!

Hey everyone,

Sorry I've been MIA for a couple weeks (or months..but who's counting) but I've been working on a challenge for my Beachbody Team as well as a few other close Twitter & Facebook friends. It's called the 10 in 10 Challenge! What does it entail, you ask? Well here are the details:10 IN 10 Challenge

1. Eat Fresh-Eliminate processed food
Exceptions: Shakeology
P90x bars
Recovery drink
Read the labels....if there are chemicals on the label, then let's consider it processed

2. Get rid of the white (foods)

3. Increase raw food intake

4. Cardio everyday/Strength 3x a week

5. Stop eating 3 hours before bed

6. Keep a food journal and accurate calorie count
Keep as accurate food diary as possible, including workouts...even if you don't know exact calorie counts, be as detailed as possible in the diary...

7. Downsize (your portions)

8. Eat every 2-1/2 to 3 hours hours (body goes into starvation mode and thinks your starving so holds onto anything you eat...that's how SUMO wrestlers are trained to get big...they starve them for morning and breakfast and then feed them dinner!!!)

9. Identify your achilles heel
Know your weaknesses. Be aware of your food triggers. Use the 10 days to determine how you can handle those triggers

10. No Alcohol or Soda

11. Increase sleep by 1-2 hours each nite. (get 7-8 hours sleep)Want to have your own 10 in 10 Challenge? Join us!
