Big Changes Happening: 75 Semi-Hard Update
The days are going by so quickly over here but I am finally so close to 10lb down, which is CRAZY to me! I always struggled very hard to lose any weight, even with going to the gym 4-5x per week and eating moderately. This is a very sustainable lifestyle in my opinion but it is a challenge some days. My biggest lifestyle changes that I’m more aware of:
🌿 Drinking 1 gallon of water a day: I definitely was not drinking a gallon a day prior. I didn’t drink anything else other thank water or 1 coffee a day but I wasn’t drinking enough water
🌿 Steps: prioritizing 10k steps a day really haven’t been difficult. I have been liking my walks after dinner and it’s extra movement, outdoor activities and calories burned.
🌿Being more conscious of what I’m eating and my snacks/treats: I am saying “no thanks” to more treats that I know won’t help me get to my goal. Let me be real honest though, I am having a cheat meal a week but I’m not making a whole day out of the cheat. I have been getting ice cream out but I will get a baby or a small size. I have been enjoying a few times a week Enlightened frozen yogurt bars for a sweet treat during the week to curb chocolate cravings.
🌿 I have been doing some intermittent fasting. I wouldn’t say this has progressed my progress faster but I am feeling good. Let it be known I am still eating 3 meals a day but my breakfast is eaten around 10ish instead of 7:45am. If I’m very hungry I am listening to my body and eating.
Health is a form of wealth. Take a look at what you’re consuming (the people around you, listening to, eating/drinking).

The 75 Hard program emphasizes discipline, resilience, and health awareness. Participants engage in rigorous physical activity while tracking their progress meticulously. Sustaining hydration by drinking a gallon of water daily is crucial during this journey. Additionally, the importance of sleep and mental clarity cannot be understated; adequate rest aids in recovery and improves motivation. Many have noted the benefits of incorporating intermittent fasting, not for rapid weight loss, but to help regulate hunger cues. Snack alternatives like frozen yogurt bars become a part of honoring cravings without derailing progress. Embracing a balanced mindset about cheat meals allows participants to enjoy treats while maintaining their overall goals. It's also essential to surround yourself with support, whether through like-minded communities or friends, as accountability can greatly enhance your success in weight loss transformation. Documenting measurements and celebrating achievements, even small ones, serves as motivation as you progress. As you consider embarking on a similar journey, remember that health extends beyond just physical changes; it's about cultivating a holistic approach to well-being, which includes emotional and psychological health.
That gallon of water a day is a commitment. I'm more of a "sip and forget" kinda person
