The journey actually took a little longer than 10 day as:
- I had to COMMIT to my goal, 
-I had to have the DESIRE to see my goal through.
-I had to have the WILL to see it through to the end.

I really think that if you don't have the fortitude to see it through, you are not ready for this program.  I have been watching many YouTube & TedTalk videos on what REAL food is and what we are really eating.  I am not preaching but I was making the education for myself.  

THIS CHALLENGE RESET MY METABOLISM.. I am quite content eating my veggies and bean salad with no sugar cravings...not even a little. I am a reformed desset-o-holic.  I CHOOSE to eat Healthy Real Food.  Have you made the change yet???

This Program WORKS and gives you an incredible KICKSTART to a healthier way of being in just 10 days!!.

However the only stipulation is that YOU HAVE TO WORK IT!!  Like volleyball practice, the harder you work at it the quicker the result!!

You must work on your DESIRE to change your health.
You must work on your WILL to have better choices to improve your overall athletic performance.
You must work on your ATTITUDE - keep positive and keep striving higher.

If you watch videos on YouTube and TedTalks on what is really in our food, you will be begging your household grocery shopper to buy real food and not processed crap..  I swear I will never eat a hot dog or chicken mcnugget ever again. (Jamie Oliver has some interesting info on how they are made.  Lunches from home will be your new norm!)

IIf you have the DESIRE and the WILL and the positive ATTITUDE to make a change to YOU ( I call it spring cleaning for the inner body..getting the gunk out from behind the organs that have been stuffed in there for years - decluttering!!).

This is actually an ironic title for me to write about as I usually struggle with being motivated enough on a daily basis to stay challenged.  However, the one thing I know for sure about myself is that I work better in a "team" setting.  It doesn't matter what that "team" looks like.  Once I start a challenge I am very determined to complete it properly.

Of course, when I was playing volleyball there were always many teammates around.  Being competitive in nature as most athletes, I always strove (in my head - remember the article on peak performance I wrote previously) to be my best.  

What keeps me motivated to do my best, is that I never believe I have reached the end!!..  Now as I paint or do my work, I think there is always a better way and that I am still short of it.  I am not negative about my accomplishments, I just know that there is always another rung up. Like doing push-ups..you can always squeeze a few more in AFTER you thought you were completely exhausted.

In this month of May, I have challenged my body to get back to a stronger physical state.  I am doing a 30 day plank challenge (I piggybacked a friend who was sharing it on FB).  The challenge being the time increase every day.  Day 1 was 20 seconds and today, Day 15,  it was 1:50sec.  I did 1:40!!! I have never planked that long (and this is without doing any other type of physical training for months).  So being part of the FB challenge "team" enabled me to be accountable to others to perform..  Being motivated by others, motivated me!!

Couple of questions to think about as you do any activity, every day:
Am I being accountable to myself & others when I perform?
Am I giving my best, or just good enough to get by?
