Day Four: 75 Soft Challenge
Day Four: August 14th
-75oz Water 💦
I managed to stay on tracking my water intake. My 40oz Hydro Flask helped immensely. I actually found it hanging from a Citibike one day. I asked people around first, of course. Then I took it home and washed it throughly.
-7k Steps 🏃♀️💨
I did an indoor run on the tredmill that upped my steps a great amount. I was on my feet all day due to work. (GO RETAIL!!! jk…) Crushed it.
-Portion Control 🥗
I was able to meal prep! I actually ate a good breakfast in the morning too. At work, they even had everything for chicken salad! 😳 I did eat while listening to an Audible book but was still feeling mindful. 🙇♀️
-Skin Care 💅
I’ve been initially forgetting my skin care routine but managed to bounce back to it. I’ve washed my face and moisturized. (I semi feel comfortable with limiting my routine to that. There are blemishes I want to work on though)
-Workout 3x/Week 😮💨
I did arms! I aim to tone up my arms, not necessarily build a lot of muscles. I stuck to semi-light weight with more reps. (My biceps are sore. It’s been a bit.) I ended it with my 10min indoor run. I hope to have more stamina to run longer! 🏃♀️
-Read 30 mins 📖
I almost didn’t want to read. After taking a shower after work, I felt super tired and just wanted to watch Reelshorts (embarrassing, ik). But, I grabbed my book instead and set my timer. I ended up reading for longer because SPICE WAS GETTING SPICIER. I’m sad I’m almost done with the book. It’s a short read. 😔
The 75 Soft Challenge is designed as a manageable wellness routine aimed at improving physical and mental health through daily habits over 75 days. On day four, the author successfully tracked a 75oz water intake, a crucial target that promotes hydration, supports metabolism, and aids skin health. Utilizing a 40oz Hydro Flask made keeping track easier, showcasing how hydration tools can boost consistency. Physical activity was central, with over 7,000 steps achieved by combining treadmill running and standing during work hours—highlighting the impact of incidental movement alongside planned exercise. Incorporating indoor runs into a busy day improves cardiovascular health and stamina. Flight climbing and workout metrics, such as the 1.03-mile indoor run and arm-focused strength training, emphasize the importance of mixing aerobic and resistance exercises for overall fitness and toning without excessive muscle bulk. Mindful eating practices were also observed through portion control and meal prepping which supports weight management and sustained energy. The mention of listening to an Audible book while eating suggests integrating enjoyable multitasking without distraction from mindful eating principles. Skin care, though simplified to washing and moisturizing, remains a vital self-care element. Regular hydration and skin care help reduce blemishes and improve complexion. Minor adjustments, like consistent evening and morning routines, can magnify benefits. Finally, commitment to reading for 30 minutes daily enhances cognitive health, reduces stress, and encourages mental discipline—key components often overlooked in wellness challenges. Even after a tiring day, choosing reading over passive media consumption fosters personal growth. Tracking these varied but interconnected habits—hydration, movement, nutrition, skin care, exercise, and mental engagement—demonstrates a holistic approach. Such a balanced routine is sustainable and aids in creating lasting lifestyle improvements promoted by the 75 Soft Challenge. Users seeking wellness inspiration can adopt similar achievable goals and gradually build toward better health and vitality.
