10-10-10 Approach to Fitness

I read a great article about the 10-10-10 rule and it can apply to any decision you make. But of course, I will take the approach of eating right and working out. The 10-10-10 rule is whenever you have a choice, think how it is going to effect you in the next 10 minutes - 10 months - 10 years. It may not always be a win-win-win in all the categories either.

Let's look at the situation of the Cadbury Cream Egg staring you in the face. (Easter Theme) In 10 minutes, this is going to rock and you are going to enjoy the sweet taste of the egg. But in 10 months you will not have met your weight loss goals. And in 10 years your weight may increase and disease may develop. Now looking at that Cadbury Cream Egg, Do you really want to eat it? (I LOVE Cadbury Cream Eggs and even I don't want it)

But on the flip side, if you avoid it you may have some strong cravings in the first 10 minutes. But in 10 months you are down 3 sizes. And in 10 years you look young, healthy and fit! Think about that along your health journey and when it comes to working out or eating right, use the 10-10-10!
