Day Ten: 75 Soft Challenge
-75oz Water
A recovery day from the previous. I was still out today so my hydration truly suffered. I forgot my water bottle as well. I got home and tried to drink water but God I was lazy. The Brita filter is so slow to fillll.
-7k Steps🚶♀️
Another day with being on my feet and walking all over the city doing my errands. This week is pretty stressful so I am trying to find a balance.
-Portion Control 🌯
I had a heavy breakfast and didn’t eat until I had gotten home later that night. I ate a nice chipotle bowl that really hit the spot.
-Skincare💄
I’m getting into the habit of going straight to doing skincare during the mornings. It’s only a pain to do when I’m coming home exhausted. 😣 I’m trying to do it as soon as I can without sitting down and staying stuck. Oops.
-Read 30 mins 📖
I’ve been really pushing off reading ‘Hot Under His Collar.’ I like the book but I keep thinking of other books I could get. Ahhh! I might have to start different books.
-Workout 3x/Week
I am considering the loads of walking I’ve done a workout because my feet was (and still is) sore.
The 75 Soft Challenge is designed to help participants build healthier daily habits by focusing on essentials like hydration, movement, nutrition, skincare, reading, and consistent workouts. On Day Ten, despite a challenging and busy schedule, prioritizing these elements can make a significant difference in overall wellbeing. Hydration is a foundational habit, as consuming 75oz of water daily supports bodily functions and energy levels. While busy days may disrupt this routine, carrying a reusable water bottle or setting reminders can help maintain adequate fluid intake. Using a Brita filter is beneficial for water quality but can be slow; filling larger containers overnight or in advance can save time. Walking over 7,000 steps contributes not only to physical fitness but also to mental resilience. The OCR content notes daily distances around 4.15 miles and climbing 20 flights of stairs, which can be seen as effective physical activity, especially when workouts are less frequent. Recognizing everyday activity as valid exercise helps stay motivated and reduces injury risk when overtraining is a concern. Portion control balances caloric intake and sustains energy throughout the day. Having a heavier breakfast and then a balanced meal like a Chipotle bowl later supports steady nourishment. It’s ideal to plan meals mindfully to avoid excessive hunger or fatigue. Consistent skincare in the mornings promotes skin health and self-care ritual formation, even when fatigue is present after a long day. Reading for 30 minutes stimulates the mind and provides relaxation. Exploring different books can keep engagement high when motivation wanes. Ultimately, the 75 Soft Challenge encourages sustainable routines rather than intense regimens. Incorporating movement such as walking and stair climbing into daily life while balancing nutrition and self-care can lead to lasting positive habits and stress reduction, especially during demanding weeks. Keeping track of progress using hashtags like #75softchallenge creates community support and accountability.
