My daily routine. Day 11th Edition
Another day to prove myself I can do this. I’m so grateful for my body and my health for giving the chance to experience this. I’m also learning a lot in this process, and sometimes I feel I want to push it up to 90 days instead of 75 but we will see, maybe I will need just a break for one day and I can do it for 20 more days 😅.
Somebody here that did it for longer than 75 days?
So I couldn’t find the picture I took of my dinner, I remember taking it but I don’t know what happened 🤷🏻♀️ Anyways, this is a description of what my day was like:
☀️I woke up at 8 and took my Levo pill (I have hypothyroidism)
🍳For breakfast I had a toast with cottage cheese and tomato, and banana with peanut butter (213 cal 30C/12P/6F)
🚴🏻♀️After breakfast I went to workout, I took a cycling class, the humidity was crazy so it was so hard to breathe
🏋🏻♀️After the class I went to workout back and triceps.
🍽️For lunch I wanted to have a good amount of protein so I mixed tilapia and pork with sweet potatoes, asparagus and green beans. I was full for a good time. (452 cal 51C/42P/9F)
Then I went to work, it was a busy day so my boss got us some pizza at the end of the day and those boxes smelled soooo good and I was starving, but let me tell you, I don’t know how but I didn’t even take a peek of them, I didn’t want to feel tempted but my coworker gave me a bunch of green grapes so I had them for snack (30 cal 7C/0P/0F)
🍲Dinner I had a Chipotle style salad with turkey and mini shrimp. (592 cal 78C/39P/14F)
Before bed time I finished journaling and reading pages 103-112 of Atomic Habits.
Total calories and macros intake:
1287 166C/94P/29F
Total calories burnt 1077
I didn’t have time for the outdoors workout but I reached my alternative goal, that is 10k steps minimum per day, and I did an extra workout with the weights as well.

Hey everyone! So, you've seen a glimpse into my Day 11 on the 75 Hard Challenge, and let me tell you, every single day is a test, but it's also incredibly rewarding. For those of you wondering how to tackle the daily grind, especially when it comes to nutrition and staying mentally tough, I've got a few extra tips that have truly made a difference for me. Crushing the Food Game: Smart Meal Prep for 75 Hard One of the biggest game-changers for hitting my calorie and macro goals consistently (like that 1287 cal, 166C/94P/29F day!) is serious meal planning. It’s easy to get derailed when you’re hungry and unprepared, which is why situations like resisting that tempting pizza at work become so much easier when you know exactly what your next healthy meal is. I spend a little time each Sunday mapping out breakfasts (cottage cheese toast, banana with peanut butter are staples!), lunches (like my tilapia and pork with veggies), and dinners (a Chipotle-style salad with turkey and shrimp is a current favorite!). This way, my fridge is stocked, and I’m less likely to grab something off-plan. Trust me, seeing those detailed breakdowns on my fitness tracking app keeps me accountable for my calorie and macro intake. Don't forget snacks! Having pre-portioned grapes or other fruit on hand, like my coworker offered, can be a lifesaver when cravings hit. And always hydrate! It's one of the non-negotiables of 75 Hard, and honestly, it helps curb hunger too. Staying Mentally Strong: Beyond Day 11 on Your 75 Hard Journey Beyond the food and the physical workouts, the mental game is HUGE. There are days when I question if I can even push past the 75-day mark, maybe even to 90! That feeling of wanting to 'push it up to 90 days' comes from a place of growing confidence, built day by day. Journaling, like I do every night alongside reading books like 'Atomic Habits', has become my secret weapon. It helps process the day's challenges, celebrate small victories (like hitting my 10k steps even without an outdoor workout!), and reinforce my 'why'. Seeing my Apple Watch metrics for cycling and upper body workouts, knowing I burned those calories, is incredibly motivating. It's not just about the physical transformation; it's about building unbreakable discipline. When you're facing a long-term challenge, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Break it down. Focus on just getting through this daily routine. Celebrate every workout, every healthy meal, every gallon of water. Use your fitness tracking app not just for calories but for acknowledging your progress in activity rings and exercise minutes. Remember, consistency beats perfection. Even on Day 11, it's about proving to myself, again and again, that I can do this. You can too!
