Evaluation

Monday – Day One, Week Three! Here’s where things start getting real good. I love to feel the intensity of the workouts increasing. I remember in my first session at FXB that this is when I discovered that I didn’t know prior to this what REAL sweating was like. This session it’s neat to see the new members getting their rhythm, coordination and technique down – AND I see myself continue to improve too. It’s fun and exciting and encouraging when you see yourself making change.

I think it is good when you’re making change in your life – whether with your health, or your career, or spiritually, or in relationships – to take a moment to look for and acknowledge the change you’ve made. Journaling is something that can help in this area.  No, this doesn’t mean that you have to pour out your emotions in a “Dear Diary” moment, but it IS important to first write down your goals, and THEN go back and evaluate your progress. The magic isn’t just in writing down your goal (although that’s the first step), but rather in your evaluation because THIS is where you can adjust, change or continue what you’re doing.

I have found that doing this also helps to keep focused on the end goal even when things are going well. You see, it can be REALLY easy to rest on your laurels when things are going well, and you’re feeling good.  Now, hear my heart, I am NOT saying that you shouldn’t celebrate your successes. Please do! BUT keep the intensity in what you’re doing. Specifically in the area of body transformation – you MUST continue meal planning and being prepared, you MUST continue to journal your foods (and be exact!) and you MUST continue to measure your foods. Notice, I am focusing on a lot on foods – because it is 80% of your body transformation.

I know that in some areas of my transformation that I am further than I thought I would be, but in others I am a little behind. So, take some time RIGHT NOW, or at least before you go to bed to do a quick evaluation of your progress and adjust as needed.

So, let’s keep our focus and keep working hard! Living each day to the fullest is how you Live at Level 10! So, I am doing this and SO CAN YOU! Make it a Level 10 Day!
