75 DAYS HARD CHALLENGE: DAY I
Previously I announced that I will begin the 75 Days Hard Challenge at the first of July. For anyone unfamiliar, the Challenge takes 75 Days and follows these daily rules:
Choose a diet and follow it (without cheat meals or alcohol)
Complete two 45-minute workouts daily (one needs to be outside no matter the weather)
Drink a gallon of water every day
Read 10 pages of nonfiction
Take progress pictures
If you skip or miss a task you must start over
Things you should know:
I decided to try this challenge because I want to improve my mental toughness and physical fitness (also I want to prove to myself that I am consistent). It's probably not for everyone, so there is also a soft version of this challenge called 75 Days Soft Challenge.
I prepared for this challenge a month in advance. I tried out what diet suits me the most without craving cheat meals, decided on what books I want to read and what kind of workouts are the best for me.
I don't want to bother you with a daily follow up of my challenge, but please consider I'll try to do an update every 1-2 weeks.
"All great things have small beginnings."
My current routine on this challenge varies from day to day because I do work shifts but there are a few things that stay consistent during this challenge:
Diet:
I decided to do IF with a 16:8 ratio. I start eating at 10am and have my last meal at 6pm. Mostly low carb, high protein. No meat, no sugar, limited dairy. Please consider that every human is different and what may work for me, won't do it for you. I decided to become vegetarian a month ago and I don't regret it yet.
2. Workouts:
I am not an athlete. Therefore two heavy workouts a day would cause me injuries. I'm taking a 45 minutes outdoor walk everyday and the second workout is whatever suits my day the most. For example on Mondays I'm going to a yoga class, therefore this will be my second workout.
3. Hydration:
To be honest, I had to change this one a bit. I'm drinking one black coffee every morning and I'm also having a tea before I go to sleep. This intake plus a gallon of water would be too much for my body. I decided to drink 3 Liters of water everyday and the missing 0,7 liters will be tea and black coffee. I'm not drinking anything else for the duration of this challenge. No soft drinks, no alcohol, no milk (except for coconut milk for my overnight oats).
4. my non-fiction reading list:
Patrick Lencioni - The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
Dale Carnegie - How to Win Friends and Influence People
Yuval Harari - Homo Deus
Yuval Harari - 21 Lessons for the 21 Century
Daniel Kahneman - Thinking Fast and Slow
James Clear - Atomic Habits
Robert Greene - The 48 Laws of Power
Robert Greene - The Art of Seduction
Erich Fromm - The Art of Loving
Oliver Burkeman - Four Thousands Weeks
James Carse - Finite and Infinite Games
Seneca - Letters from a Stoic
Plato - Allegory of the Cave
5. last but not least - the progress picture:
I hate taking pictures, so I won't really share them but I made a folder on my phone and taking the photo is the first thing I'm doing in the morning to get it off my list.
Bisous!

75 Soft-Challenge 🍁
Daily rules for the next 75 days:
Drink 3 Liters of water
Read 10 pages of any book
Move your body for 45 minutes
Follow a healthy diet
Other rules:
Alcohol only on social occasions
1 cheatmeal a week
This challenge is the "softer" version of the 75 Hard challenge.
Starting weight: 72,3 kg / 159 lbs
The last few months I have been working on building better habits. I've been working out on my crosstrainer/going for walks 4-5 times a week and I've been eating better during the challenge me and my boyfriend agreed on. Since then, the sodas and snacks have found their way back into our household, so that's been a little disappointing.
My healthy diet will basically be that I try to cook as many meals as possible myself (no fast food or frozen pizzas etc.), and I try to always include a variety of vegetables and stay away from things like heavy cream, milk or butter. I will also only drink water (and my morning coffee) or tea, no more sodas or sugary iced teas. And snacks like chocolate, chips or gummy bears are also only allowed as the weekly cheatmeal.
For my daily 45 minute movement/exercise I will either go for a walk, use my crosstrainer/elliptical or do at home workouts (Ringfit Adventure on the Nintendo Switch has been a fun way to workout for me!).
I've started the challenge yesterday, on October 1st. The end of the challenge will be in the middle of December. I'm very excited to go into these colder and cozy months with the plan to be the best version of myself before the year is over! 🍂✨

My 75 Hard Challenge ✨
I decided that I’m going to challenge myself to do the 75 hard challenge (because I need some structure in my life). I’m hopefully going to track my progress here to keep myself accountable.
I’m going to adjust the rules slightly to fit with my lifestyle and the specific things I want to work on, but the challenge splits itself up into five categories:
1. Diet
2. Physical health
3. Water
4. Reading
5. Progress tracking
Here’s how I’m going to implement these prompts into my challenge:
1. Stop eating after five.
I’ve heard that intermittent fasting can help with sleep and digestion, so I’m going to try it for this challenge to see if anything changes.
2. Work out/walk every day
This is something I technically already do, but I might try to go out and work out at the gym at least once a week to spice things up a bit and get out of the house.
3. Drink at least 20oz of water a day.
I do not drink enough water (so little that it’s kind of a problem) so I’m making it a priority for the next 75 days.
4. Read every day
I’m going to read every day by getting into my Bible every morning and starting my day with God’s word, as well as listening to an audiobook whenever I go on a walk instead of listening to music (I want to add to my finished book list so bad).
5. Progress tracking
I’m going to track my progress in my personal journal and then try to update on here once a week.
💕💕💕💕
This feels like it’s going to be really hard, but isn’t that the point?? I hope I can keep myself accountable and see some changes in my life. Wish me luck!

75 SoftEST
So, here's my thing. I have an obsessive personality and am perfectionistic to a fault. Things like the 75 Hard would ruin me because I wouldn't be able to handle failing because of one little thing. Besides, with my current health I can't work out for 45 minutes even once a day, let alone twice. If, like me, even the 75 Soft is unrealistic to you, here's a just for fun wellness challenge that will help get you into the groove of healthy living without the tears.
1. two 5+ minute intentional movement sessions, at least one of which is outdoors.
Feel free to change the timing on this to something you know you can do, but for me, anything is better than nothing. I will probably practise this by having one walk around my neighbourhood park and doing a yoga session with my dad.
2. eat at least one large handful of any vegetable
Believe it or not, I actually find this one difficult. There are some days where I eat mostly vegetables for every meal, but there are also some (more than I'd like to admit) where I don't eat any the whole day. I can't eat fruit, so vegetables are my main way of getting vitamins and minerals. Recently, I've been eating a bowl of baby spinach where I otherwise might've gone for chips.
3. drink two 700ml bottles of water in addition to any other drinks
I drink a lot of tea (herbal and chai mostly), so usually I get enough fluids in. But I still think I could do better, and drinking plain water is good.
4. journal about the day's activities and health
I use the Write to Feel Right journal, and I'm going to be honest, I'm really bad at keeping up with it. The amount of structure in it is really great though, and if I can just fill out some of it, that's enough for me.
5. read at least 1 page of any book
Must be in print format (not an ebook), but using audiobooks in addition to it is ok. I can never read just one page, but this is here so that even if I feel like I can't read anything, something is better than nothing.
6. use coping tools to get 'unstuck' as soon as I notice being 'stuck'
When I get executive dysfunction, it usually means there's some kind of uncertainty or friction there. I've learned to think my way out of the problem, which usually involves writing down the steps of what I need to do. Maybe your 'stuck' is different, but as soon as you notice feeling it, try and gently make your way out of it instead of panicking.
And that's it! Certainly not as much of a challenge to all the people used to the 75 Hard, but it's not really meant for that. I'm going to start on the 1st of October. Locking it in <3

Day 20 of 75 Hard
When I complete today, it'll be the furthest I've ever been in this challenge (made it through day 10 then day 19 in 2021).
The journey so far:
Two 45+ minute workouts, 3+ hours apart, at least one of which must be outside. Because I work 10 hour days in wetland restoration navigating mucky, watery, and steep terrain with ~40lbs on my back, I count those 4 workdays as my outdoor workout. Yes it's already part of my routine, but I wasn't going to not do this challenge just because I'm not fitting another workout in before work.
My other outdoor workouts are all walking and/or running around the neighborhood or on trails. My indoor workouts are push, pull, and indoor cycling days with my buddy, bowling with my husband, and following walk/dance/box/lift/yoga vids at home.
Saturdays are wild because I need to get a walk/run in, then go straight to cycling, and then 3 hours later bowl bc my afternoons are booked and I have to get that outdoor workout in but 3 hours away from another workout. Making it work, though!
I did put together an idealized workout schedule to train for the 5 mile trail run my buddy and I signed up for 2 weekends after we complete 75 Hard. Already had to adjust because I twisted my ankle yesterday, so I used that opportunity to try Qigong (followed by 45 min yoga). We'll see if I should stick with walking today or if I can throw in a few 3-4 minute runs.
Honestly, the toughest part of this rule is the scheduling and getting started. I really enjoy the physical activity when I'm in the flow of it.
Take a progress picture. This has been beneficial for me in a way I couldn't predict. The mirror has always surprised me, like "oh, that's what I look like?" It always shows me as curvier, less athletic than I picture myself. Might stem from a grey area of body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria. It's one of the things I'm talking with my therapist about.
But now that I'm taking a picture of my body every day, I'm realizing that what I'm seeing in the mirror looks better than what I'm seeing in the photo, giving an element of valuing what I see in the mirror. Like, I can more positively accept that that's me. So that's cool.
10 pages of reading a "think about your life" nonfiction book. I read The Book on Mental Toughness, which the creator of 75 Hard wrote. 3 of 5 stars. I might write an extended review, but a lot of the book was like watching a car crash. Yeah, the author's mentally tough, but he's not very well read sociologically. It'll be a tougher read for anyone who's nonbinary, living with intergenerational trauma, or can't stand editing/formatting issues. But there was some insightful info about 75 Hard and the continued LIVEHARD program, and I really benefited from the chapter on drinking water.
Currently reading Weave the Liminal: Living Modern Traditional Witchcraft, which I'm fully enjoying.
Books I'm considering reading next are Rest is Resistance: Free Yourself from Grind Culture and Reclaim Your Life / How to Make Friends & Influence People / The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius / Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good / and Keeping It Living: Traditions of Plant Use and Cultivation on the Northwest Coast of North America.
If anyone has a recommendation for books on Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, or Aphrodite/Aphroditus, I'm looking to learn more about their part in trans history.
Drink 1 gallon of water. I have to stick with a 90oz goal. I've tried multiple times in the past to drink a gallon a day and always wound up with a horribly sore throat after a few days. Last time, it made me sick for 2 weeks. So 90oz of unflavored water is definitely way more than I'd drink normally (32oz on a good day) but without dipping back into unhealthy territory. There are some days that I can drink more (allowing me to get in some Gatorade, preworkout, or BCAAs), but I also have a steady supply of good cough drops at hand.
I try to get in 32oz before lunch, another 32oz by 5pm, and 26oz+ before sleepy time.
Follow a diet. No cheat meals or alcohol. I'm focused on getting 100+ grams of protein a day (macro balancing and calorie deficit are secondary but seem to be happening naturally). I've also cut out chocolate (this is how I know I mean business), sugary drinks, gluten, and microwavable mac n' cheese type meals.
This is really forcing me to get my act together when it comes to planning/prepping. No more going to the coffee stand for a burrito and red bull before work. I have to either cook breakfast or nom on a protein bar. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and at least 2 snacks all have to be protein-centric for me to meet my goal. It's wild to think of how little protein I must have been getting. But now I'm full, and then I'm hungry! There's no middle ground of kinda-hungry filled with chips and milk teas. All this meal prepping and forcing myself to eat well for 75 days will probably be one of the most beneficial things I've ever done for myself.
Tangentially, cutting out chocolate meant cutting out my herbal calm chocolate supplements I always had at night to help myself wind down. Now I have to get off my phone earlier and stretch/meditate/read to get myself prepped for bed. It's good stuff.
Also, I don't drink alcohol, so there's no challenge for me there.
Overall: I'm so glad I'm doing this. This is helping me live my life the way I actually want to live it. I'm developing daily discipline and gaining insights into myself. I've lost 6lbs, my clothes fit better, and I can navigate terrain more easily. I'm enjoying trails in my free time. I was wishy-washy about my goals when I tried 75 Soft a couple months ago, and so didn't stick with them. With 75 Hard, my commitment is unquestionable. This is what my life looks like for the next 56 days. Afterward, I'll take what I like and ditch anything I don't.
If you're considering 75 Hard yourself, do make a game plan. Figure out what your diet is going to be and shop for it. Know how you'll track your water. Schedule a week or two of workouts that help you fulfill a goal (finding out what's fun for you, increasing strength/flexibility/speed, getting outside, hanging out with someone, whatever). Get a book. Give yourself this Day 0 to set yourself up for success.
Then START :D

75 HARD WEEK I: The Good, The Bad And The Okay I Guess
as some of you know I'm participating in the 75 Days Hard Challenge (75 Hard) and I successfully finished my first week. Therefore I'm doing a little recap and share my experience with you.
First of all: yes, I'm doing good and yes, I know I'm only 7 days in. It will get way harder eventually because right now I'm highly motivated. It's like the honeymoon phase of the challenge and my true consistency and progress will show during the middle of the challenge.
THE GOOD (Things that I surprisingly enjoy way more than I would have guessed):
drinking a gallon of water. The first 2-3 days I had to literally force myself to drink that amount of water but after day 4 my body actually craved it. When I wasn't drinking water for a few hours I felt extremely thirsty.
the outside workout (!) has so many benefits to my mental health (who would have guessed)
taking a progress picture every morning after waking up is personally the easiest task and the first thing I do.
Planning and preparing my meals is way more enjoyable than I would have thought!
THE BAD (cool, I'm outta here):
time management which is not bad in general because I'm well organized, but you gotta make sacrifices to fulfill your task and go to work. When it comes to social gatherings I became rather selfish and limited my time for social interactions with friends and being available (which - shocker - not everyone of my friends is happy about because they are used of me being a giving person and looking after others needs first).
people judging me, especially for my diet choice. A lot of people seem to find it offensive that I'm not eating meat and mostly vegetables and that I'm not craving cheat meals or alcohol. Currently I'm doing phenomenal without it and therefore I'm disappointed when people feel offended over my food choices.
during busy days the second workout is my personal nemesis. My job is full of physical activities and it's not possible to do the first workout before work, therefore I have to do one workout at midday and the second one in the evening.
BLOATING my friends. I looked like a pregnant person a few hours before giving birth. I'm glad I changed my diet a month in advance because I experienced bloating then, too (which is gone by now). But now I struggle with water bloating.
The Okay I Guess (woman who loves literature has to make time for reading):
I LOVE READING. Fiction, non-fiction. it doesn't matter to me. What does matter to me is being forced to implement daily reading into my day. I enjoy the reading task on my days off because I'm having a cup of coffee in the morning and sit down on my balcony to read my current literature and enjoy the dawn of the day. But on my work days, I'm literally forcing myself to read the 10 pages because it's currently hard for me to find a tactic for myself to enjoy it on work days.
Feel free to follow me on my journey.
Bisous!

I don't usually post stuff like this but what the hell.
I started 75 hard today and I'm really excited to be making these changes. Everything on the list is already completed except the gallon of water (already half way there at 10:30 this morning) and the second workout, which I'll be doing later. I spent my outside workout walking and spent the whole time talking to God and thanking him for everything he's done for me, for my family and friends, for the world. I try to spend some time every morning just thanking him for his blessings instead of asking for stuff so it was nice to get a walk in while I talked to him. It's been a really good morning and I'm looking forward to the next 75 days. Just hoping that if we get snow we don't get ice so i can continue 🙏.
This is my first progress picture, in all my grandma fashion glory. (Don't mind the mess, I'm currently decluttering). As of today I am 299 lbs, which is 71 lbs lost. I'm telling myself I can do hard things because 70 lbs didn't come off easy 😅
Let's hope we all have a great day!

Day 3: Pushing through it + challenge update!
I woke up this morning absolutely not feeling like going to work out. My body feels very bloated from all the water that I’m drinking and heavy from the increased movement. Regardless I push through got out of bed, completed my morning habits and headed to the gym.
This run was tough to get through. I had to go take a pee break at the mile mark once again from all the water that I’ve been drinking. I also tried not to have caffeine this morning again, and I felt it. but even through it, I still got my 5K done and completed a short ab and stretch circuit at the end of my time today.
While at the gym, I felt like I needed a bit more of an incentive to finish my 75 hard challenge. So on May 31, about a week from when I’m supposed to finish, I have a ticket to go see Megan Thee Stallion! I want to look extra good for the concert and be able to fit in a medium size top I bought. hopefully my top, and this ticket will be more motivation to finish out my challenge and a worthy reward. I don’t want to entertain the idea of not finishing, but if I don’t finish, I will end up selling the ticket.
After the gym, I went to my class as usual, and felt hungrier than usual. This challenge has been rough on my tendencies to binge. eating meals rather than just piles of food has been hard on my body and hard mentally. I hope further along this challenge, I find coping mechanism to deal with it but for now I just focus on drinking my water and getting my task done for the day.
And good news, though we are halfway through the week and have two more runs left in the week! Through the weekend hopefully I can rest a little bit while trying to remain active. I plan on finishing my water tonight and reading my pages before bed.
See y’all tomorrow! - Kait
