75 Hard thoughts
If you didn’t know, I’m currently on DAY 59 of 75 Hard! That’s mind-blowing to me. This isnt my first time starting 75 Hard either… i started it a couple years back but got about 4 day s in… granted, I didn’t live in the best side of town when I started so doing the outdoor portion wasn’t really all that comfortable for me. Needless to say, I decided to recommit to myself & health on January 1st, 2025. I had no clue what this would bring me… I just knew I needed to lock in & hold myself accountable. Well you guys… as of day 59, I am 15 pounds down!!!!!!! Yeah, I can’t believe it. I’m still eating roughly 1800 calories per day so I haven’t touched a thing when it comes to macros. This has just been pure consistency on a daily basis to make all the tasks non-negotiables. If you havent heard of 75 Hard before, it includes:
no alcohol
Following a nutritional regimen [no fast foods, etc]
2 workouts per day [indoor + outdoor, at least 45 mins long]
1 gallon of water per day
Read 10 pages of a personal development/self-help book
Take a progress photo
That’s it. People have asked what’s the biggest thing I’ve done to drop 15 pounds… and honestly, it’s so simple it’s almost silly.
Consistency.
This truly is for anyone & everyone who is willing to put in the work to achieve the results they want. For me, I had no “goal” - I just knew I wanted something different & boy, am I getting that and more! My mind feels clear, my heart is calm, my body feels amazing. I can’t explain it. When I started 75 Hard, I knew there would be a physical transformation — I’ve seen the physical transformations of those who have completed & they are amazing! However I wasn’t prepared for the emotional + mental transformation that would happen as well. This aspect has impacted me the most. 2024 was a year that I felt was “out of my control” per se? I don’t know.. it was just a mentally, physically & emotionally rough year for me. Although I didn’t really show it on the outside, internally I felt it. So to now feel like I’m in control of emotions once again [which was a mindful decision I made in the beginning of the year by the way, it didnt just happen], is simply freeing.
This was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself in a really long time. Since I’m training in-person clients now, on top of being a mom + business owner, I found myself putting myself off to the side after a long day at work. What I’ve come to realize is that the reason i felt so burnt out is because after a day of pouring into everyone’s else’s cup, I had nothing left for me — or was it that I wasn’t willing to pour back into myself? Because at the end of the day, no one can do that for us. We have to make that decision. So if its anything that I can say that switched & changed, it’s the fact that I am no longer compromising on myself -
I, too, am that non-negotiable. I deserve to show up for myself. The goals + aspirations I envision for myself are absolutely obtainable. All it takes is going all in on yourself + locking in.
I’m looking forward to completing 75 Hard & continuing this past Day 75. Can’t wait to report back 💌
