Today is DAY 75 of 75 Hard....it's been interesting this time around!!! Had to get creative because some days I couldn't even walk.....but scaled accordingly and did it anyway! On bad knee days, I did upper body, rehab sets, exercise bike, etc....still to the best of my ability for the day. In the last 75 days I :
* drank 75 gallons of water
* read (a minimum, I read a lot more than that because I research every day) of 750 pages of non-fiction (no audio books)
* did (2) 45minute workouts daily of which one was outside (rain, sun, snow, all of it). That's 6,750 minutes in case your are curious)
* took a progress picture every day
* adhered to my chosen food plan which was - no junk food, hit at least 100grams of protein daily.
Any "mess up" and you start over at day 1! Guess what...I would have finished sooner, but messed up on my original day 3 and had to start again the next day. In the past I forgot the picture on day 30 and had to start again....frustrating. I've also started a few times and stopped early.
Added bonus....I have read through Mathew, Mark, and most of Luke, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and part of Numbers, plus a Psalm and Proverb every day....:)
According to the scale....I may have lost 2 pounds...LOL...didn't seem like much for the effort, but I am stronger, and seeing a little "4-pack."
Why? For accountability and structure.....I need both in my life. I don't hate doing this, actually enjoy it most days. Sometime travel makes it hard, just stayed up late or got up earlier. If you overthink the obstacles, they win, so I tuned out the noise.
Another Bonus: I listened to so many podcasts while working out....some of my favs: Business Wars, Wise Traditions, The Model Health Show, Candace Owens, The Real AF, The Shawn Ryan Show, Mind Pump, The Way Forward, Big Deal, Three of Seven, The Ed Mylett Show, Mike Rowe.
