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!

Model Beauty Tips

morning ritual(drink a warm glass of water, meditate and get ready for the day)

get dressed (even if you’re not going out out on something cute and comfortable, do your hair and put on a lash or gloss)

find products that work for you (take the time to find out your skin type and build a stable routine)

wear less makeup (embrace your natural beauty and learn to be comfortable in your own skin)

hydration is key (3-4L of water a day)

invest in an personalized, quality wardrobe (stop giving into fast fashion and trends)

balanced diet (fuel your body with balanced nutrient rich meals)

regular workouts ( curate a workout plan that fits your lifestyle to stay lean and healthy)

take your supplements (do some research on what you would like to improve and start implementing them)

get off of social media (don’t get so caught up in somebody else’s life that you start to miss out in yours)

stay organized (use a planner, make a to do list prioritize goals, maintain a routine etc.)

*beauty is not limited to what you put on the surface of the skin, but also what you decide to bring to your body and your mind.

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! 🍂✨

75 Soft, Student + Mental Health Edition

It's the new year, which means it's time for another 75 day challenge! My 75 Soft version for studying success has two sections - learning and wellbeing. Since this is a more gentle program focussed on consistency rather than perfection, I've added in the ability to skip or mess up one day a week in case life happens. Some of these are specific to me and my needs, so feel free to modify as needed.

• 45 minutes of studying (or other learning)

As a part time online history student, I count studying as watching lectures, doing readings, working on assignments, or going on field trips for research. If you're a full time student or study something with more memorisation involved, you can increase this amount.

• Duolingo + 15 minutes of immersion + 1 story summary a week

My goal is to get one unit of Duolingo done every two days, so that's about 15-30 minutes already, but I don't think I can learn French with Duolingo alone. I'm going to increase the amount of immersion per quarter, but for Q1 it's only 15 minutes, so I've found some French TikTokers and YouTubers to watch. I learned about the story summary method on Pinterest and it's so simple: read a story or article in your target language, then summarise what you read in your target language. I don't have enough stories to do that every day, so I'm going to do it once a week.

• Read 10 pages

Reading allows for more unstructured learning and can help with critical thinking, among so many other things. I like reading classics and non fiction, but it can be any book. Right now, I'm reading The Bell Jar (it's amazing).

• Any amount of outdoor exercise

It's always good to get fresh air! My main fitness goal of this year is to learn how to do pistol squats, and the steps outside my house are perfect for squat touchdowns. I do anywhere from 10-50 on each side per day, and when I get stronger I can aim for two steps down.

• Any amount of indoor exercise

There are some movements I love doing, but they can't/shouldn't be done outside, so I've added indoor exercise to this. Doing my little ballet spins (based on fouettes but definitely not real ones since I haven't learned ballet), at-home pilates with my sibling, or a light arm workout can really boost my mood throughout the day.

• No caffeine until 90 minutes after waking

This is just good advice. I can't remember which hormones exactly but I know it messes with your circadian rhythm to have caffeine first thing in the morning. Most days I'm good with this but every so often a cup of tea gets made too early.

• No binging or restricting food

I'm learning how to listen to my body this year, and for that I need to stop letting my head decide how much I eat. No more emotional binges, and no more guilty restriction. I will eat whenever I'm hungry, and stop when I'm 80% full.

• 2 large meals made with whole foods

This is mostly to help me keep up with my main contribution to the household: planning and cooking all the meals. My breakfast is already pretty healthy, I'd say, and I don't need lunch, so it's only dinner that matters. I love finding new recipes to try, and I love the way my body feels after eating something with lots of vitamins, minerals, and protein.

• 8 hours of sleep

If I don't sleep a full 8 hours, I am contractually obliged to nap. Really, it should be longer than 8 hours for me, but I'm getting way better at staying awake throughout the day so I'm leaving it at that.

• Leave the house alone 4 times a week

My therapist made me do this every day back in August, but I got a bit too comfortable recently and now going out is starting to scare me again. Time to maintain that muscle.

• 3 30 min sessions of ERP a week

I decided this year that I would stop letting my OCD control my life. I had been passively working on it for a couple of years, but it's time to take it seriously. I've learned some ways to respond to intrusive thoughts without doing compulsions, and I'm excited to see them start to work.

Pink Champagne's Personal Development Plan

updated december 6, 2024

this is my version of 75 Hard, modified for a realistic approach to long-term personal development and self-improvement. though i was inspired by the structure of 75 Hard, this isn't a short-term challenge. i've organized this plan as a lifestyle blueprint that can be continued for longer than 75 days.

unlike a crash diet or a challenge intended to be started and stopped over and over again, this set of guidelines can be easily implemented into one's life, and here’s why:

i will not lie and say i don't care about physical appearance, but the focus of this strategy is to feel better and improve overall health. my plan explicitly outlines which foods to gravitate towards and which to cut back on. there are no bad foods; this is just what works for me.

crash diets and workout challenges might produce the superficial results you want, but implementing a health strategy that focuses on the big picture is more beneficial in the long run. i’m easing into it, allowing cheat days, and not setting a 75-day timeline. give yourself grace and celebrate your wins.

i love the basic concept and structure of 75 Hard, however, progress pictures are generally most helpful for those who are trying to improve their physical appearance. since this is a long-term plan prioritizing health over appearance, i replaced this section with one on consistency in general, focusing on routines and habits. i also added a self care section because that’s extremely important to me. i will continue updating this post.

with healthy habits comes a healthy body and mind. take care of yourself and you will reap the benefits, mentally and physically.

🫧 DIET

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!

I WILL BE STARTING THE 2nd or 3rd OF DECEMBER / FINISH 15th FEB 2025

These rules if you'd like as long as it follows the basis im sure you can change some up as i did to fit your own lifestyle.

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!
