Spend the day with me

As someone who has navigated the demanding journey of the 75 Hard challenge while working full-time in childcare, I can attest to how transformative yet challenging this experience is. The 75 Hard program requires strict daily tasks such as following a diet, completing two workouts (one outdoors), drinking a gallon of water, reading, and taking progress photos without any compromises. For a daycare teacher, these requirements push your time management and mental perseverance to the limit. In my typical day, morning starts early with preparing both myself and the preschoolers for their day. Breaks 3 & 4, specifically around pre-k activities, are crucial moments where I recharge and keep my energy up — often squeezing in one of my workouts or a hydration break. Balancing the energetic demands of children with the physical and mental challenges of 75 Hard means planning every minute. One helpful tip is integrating physical activity into your daycare routine — like playing active games with children or taking them outdoors, which can count as part of your workout. Also, meal prepping for the week helps maintain diet guidelines despite a busy schedule. Reading is often done during quiet hours or the commute. Daycare life is rewarding but taxing, and combining it with 75 Hard enhances resilience and self-discipline. If you’re a childcare professional seeking motivation or looking to take on 75 Hard, remember consistency and planning are your best friends. This journey not only improves mental toughness but also fuels personal growth and a sense of accomplishment, even on the busiest days.
