TAKE 2 🫠
14 hard. Take 2. Because resets are normal-ish, right? Anyone else? Anyways last year around the same time I set off to complete a 14 hard (my version) and I did ok for 6 days.
I think my challenges were:
•Posting - If you go back through my feed you’ll notice I was on vacation and stopped posting. I need to be more intentional for posting. I also have to get past the challenge of wanting to share.
•Consistently - this comes with the posting!
•Health Issues - I had a few minor health issues come up that sort of derailed me from staying focused.
Anyways — 14 Hard. What’s that? I thought you might ask - I’m going back to 14 days because as
I have proven, I need to start small and move towards a bigger goal. This year I want to do 14 days first and then move towards 30 days.
This 14 day hard challenge for me will be a preceptor to a 75 Soft/Medium after I hit 14 and 30 days; mainly because I cannot get in 2 work outs a day (because kids) to do the 75 Hard.
For the next 14 days I plan to:
•Drink a gallon of water per day.
•Eat 3 meals per day focusing on protein intake.
•Read 15-30 minutes per day or listen to a podcast.
•Work out 4-5 days per week.
•Find a “project” around the house each day. No matter how small.

The 14 Hard Challenge is a personalized fitness and lifestyle commitment inspired by the well-known 75 Hard challenge. It is designed to be a manageable starting point for those who want to build healthier habits and work up to more intense goals like 75 Soft or the full 75 Hard. Participants typically focus on key areas such as drinking a gallon of water daily, consuming balanced meals with enough protein, dedicating time to personal growth through reading or podcasts, working out multiple times a week, and taking on small daily projects to improve their living environment or mindset. This multifaceted approach helps create discipline, consistency, and a sense of accomplishment over two weeks. Common challenges include maintaining consistent posting or progress tracking, managing health issues, and balancing fitness routines with family or work demands. Setting realistic goals, such as completing 14 days first and then extending to 30 days or more, can improve success rates and reduce burnout. Incorporating hashtags like #14hard, #momgoals, #75softchallenge, #75hardchallenge, and #weightloss connects participants virtually and provides community support through shared experience and encouragement. Building a fitness and wellness routine around individual circumstances — like adjusting workouts due to parenting commitments — is essential for sustainable progress. This incremental approach to challenges fosters motivation, enhances physical health, and promotes mental resilience. By understanding the principles behind why resets or restarts happen and embracing them as normal, individuals can stay focused on continuous improvement without discouragement. The 14 Hard Challenge serves as a practical gateway towards more demanding programs, laying the foundation for long-term wellness success.
love this idea! I always struggle with staying consistent and 14 days sound so much more doable than 30-75.
