Day Three: 75 Soft Challenge
Day Three: Aug. 13
-7k Steps 👣
With the help of going on a jog, I did it!! Which reminds me that I really need to get running shoes because converses ain’t cutting it. (I know.) 😮💨
-75oz Water 💦
I did it but I also forgot somewhere at the end how much I had drank. I tracked it with Flo. It’s just that I forgot whether I drank a bottle or not. See my dilemma. 😂
-Portion Control 🌮
I felt like I under ate. I got too busy with the going out part that I forgot to actually sit down and eat. Ended up speed eating instead. I’ll need to do more meal prepping. 😬
-Skincare 🥰
I’m honestly thinking of speaking with a dermatologist to see which cleaners are good for me. I really don’t want that allergic reaction again. I’m thinking if cleansers like Vanicream, Aveeno, or even Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser.
-Workout 3x/Week 🏋️♀️
I went to an Orangetheory class yesterday!! It was fun and I love group settings. I could see myself having an actual memberish there. My legs are still sore. 🧡
-Read 30 mins 📖
I still can’t put down that book! I hope after this one I will continue the books I haven’t finished. I’m a criminal when it comes to not finishing books. I have my hopes up though!
(There’s a no soda aspect of this challenge too but I’m thinking of changing it for me. I don’t like soda so I’m trying to think of a vice that’s more me. I have something in mind.)
On Day Three of the 75 Soft Challenge, maintaining at least 7,000 steps was achieved through jogging, which emphasizes the importance of comfortable footwear like running shoes over casual ones such as Converses to prevent discomfort and injuries. Tracking hydration is crucial; consuming 75 ounces of water daily supports optimal bodily functions, but it’s common to lose track. Using apps like Flo can help monitor intake effectively. Portion control is another essential aspect of this challenge. Under-eating or speed eating due to a busy schedule may hinder energy levels and overall balance. Preparing meals ahead of time can improve mindful eating and nutritional intake. Additionally, skincare plays a significant role in personal wellness. Consulting a dermatologist is recommended to identify suitable cleansers, especially for sensitive skin prone to allergic reactions. Recommended gentle cleansers include Vanicream, Aveeno, and Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser. Participating in group workouts like Orangetheory can enhance motivation and accountability for exercising at least three times per week. Soreness after workouts is a sign of muscle engagement and progress. Incorporating a daily 30-minute reading habit nurtures mental relaxation and intellectual growth. Adapting any challenge to better fit individual preferences—such as swapping the no soda rule for a more personalized vice—supports long-term adherence and satisfaction. Overall, the 75 Soft Challenge encourages holistic lifestyle improvements focusing on physical activity, hydration, nutrition, skincare, fitness consistency, and mental wellness.
