Week 10: Putting It All Together
I know you have been waiting, while I have been traveling to make new friends and to find new motivations. I apologize for the long gap between posts.
But, finally, here is the tenth and last week of the Better Body and More Energy Challenge. I would like to approach your senses from all perspectives and tie all these weeks together with this final assignment.
First, I want you to go on a natural cleanse with your diet. This means trying to stick to mostly fruits and veggies, with some fish and eggs for protein. Drink tons of refreshing water, and let your body rest from digesting animal proteins, if you can. Stick to whole grains, but let it be in the morning and pump up the veggie plate. After a few days you will experience a different sense of scent and taste.
Secondly, I’d like your workouts this week to focus on gentle, loving exercises like yoga and stretching. Do some introspective yoga, conscious stretching and lengthening of your hard working muscles, and consider it as a muscle tissue cleanse. Leave the pushing and pulling and contracting by the way side, and just let your body breathe.
Lastly, for your heart and soul, focus on FUN! Go to a comedy show with your friends, set up a play in your home with the family, play a practical joke on your best friend. Just try something that will make you let out a belly laugh.
After you complete this last assignment, your next assignment is…to start all over again. Remember, repetition creates healthy habits. And, even more importantly, boosting your metabolism and energy is not just a 10 week experience; it is a life long experiment!
So, how you feel about what you have done so far. Do you feel that sense of getting somewhere, an ignition, a light? I would love hear your stories after doing the challenge, and where it has taken you. Will you share it here in the Blog, with me, and the others?
Live Life Loud and Good Luck!

Hi Tanja-
I just came across this and archived the whole 10 weeks- happily I am already doing several things, i.e. I walk 3 miles a day (to and from work) which, with no commute reduces the stress like you wouldn’t believe! Drink at least your reccommended water intake and have some whole body strength training and yoga workouts- I try and think and act positively- so I plan that this will be a breeze- and I love YOUR attitude! And I especially apprieciate the way you’ve reminded me what a great thing I am doing for myself and that I am worth it and that I can bring this same energy with me wherever I go and I will have enough to give away to whomever I meet-
Thank you- Living Loud- Wayne
