Reaching Level 10

Welcome to my new blog - Level 10 Day! Here, I will give you a daily dose of fitness inspiration, nutritious recipes, tips for reaching your goals and insights on reaching your own 'Level 10' each day. Plus, I will share my own journey of transformation - the victories, the struggles, new adventures and probably some fun and fashion along the way (I don't care what anyone says - you can workout HARD and still look good while doing it).

If you don't know me, which at this point, I am sure you probably all do, I have always prided myself as being an optimist and someone who strives for her best. So, last October, when I was first introduced to the idea of "Living at Level 10" through Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping (FXB), I welcomed the concept and accepted the challenge. But, I soon realized that when you give your all, you'll probably find that your perceived Level 10 is far less than your actual Level 10.

So, my first challenge to you, is to go out today and try something new. Break your routine! Eat a new food, take a new route to work, run farther than you ever have before, do some push-ups on your toes, try a new lipstick shade, lift more weight or do more reps than usual, just do SOMETHING that is different - perhaps something that scares you. 2011 was a year that brought A LOT of change in my life.  I understand that when things are changing it is easy to hold on to the routine and the comfortable, but you will only surprise yourself when you challenge your view of what is possible.

January 9th starts the next FXB session. Over the next 10-Weeks, I am participating as a maintenance member and an instructor. I am very excited as well that my husband is joining this session as a new member. I invite you to follow me as I continue my transformation journey. Even though I am in the "maintenance" program, I am not yet maintaining. I still have body fat and inches to chisel away, so just like you I am challenging myself to do and accomplish more each day.

Tomorrow, I will be talking more about GOALS. I am a firm believer that goals are best met when you break them down to daily goals and establish daily routines to support these goals.

I am doing this and YOU CAN TOO! Go make it a Level 10 Day!
