I’ve joined the Ten in ‘10 Challenge over at RecipeGirl’s website, and I’m so excited about it! Basically, the Ten in ‘10 Challenge is for anyone who wants to dedicate the first 10 weeks of 2010 to become healthier! The challenge is all about being healthier – whether that means losing weight, exercising more, eating better or just incorporating healthy lifestyle changes into your daily life. We all have different goals, and we’ll all need to reach them in a different way. This group is simply about support and encouragement – whether you need tips on healthy eating, new exercise ideas, or a place to simply hold yourself accountable, the Ten in ‘10 Group has it all!

If you’re on Twitter, we’ve been using the hashtag #10in10 when tweeting about the challenge. A group has also been set up on SparkPeople, which is a great resource of keeping track of your goals and progress. Click here to join the Ten in ‘10 Spark team! I know RecipeGirl will be posting about the challenge on her blog every Saturday, so feel free to check it out (and her blog is FABULOUS, by the way!).

Now, honestly, I don’t do well when I set strict rules and goals for myself. So, this is going to be a bit of a struggle for me because I really want to be strict with myself about this challenge! My eating habits have become much better than they used to be… although I still eat out too often! I also want to exercise more regularly, including doing yoga at least 5 days per week. I feel SO much better when I do yoga regularly, and I hate that I’ve fallen out of the habit. Ideally, I’d like to lose 10 pounds- but I’m not going to tie myself down to that goal. If it happens, it happens. If not, that’s ok too. Just as long as I feel healthier and happier overall!

If you have health goals of your own for 2010, I urge you to join the Ten in 10 Challenge! I’m so looking forward to it, and I know we’ve got a great group of people already signed up!

   That sounds great! I need to get back into working out regularly. I’ve taken the past two months off (unintentionally) and I feel horrible. Plus I am running a half marathon in March and I’m nowhere near ready

   You can do it! I set a strict list of guidelines for myself because I can’t seem to do it without some strict guidelines. Best of luck to you!!
