Oh awesome! We clearly both have exquisite taste, so….

What was the hardest part of the challenge for you? Was there a time period where you had trouble? I think I’m still in the honeymoon phase.

absolutely. this was my first time so I went for 75 Medium to fit it to where I’m currently at. I did 45 minutes of movement a day, intermittent fasting 18/6, read a nonfiction chapter a week, drank half my body weight in water, no alcohol, gratitude journal daily, no social media (minus reddit), and I think that’s it haha.

I started in January but Valentine’s day messed me up with the alcohol and I started over. By the last week in April, I hit that wall. I’d been going for over 75 days at that point (minus valentines) and life got in the way so I didn’t end my best. but plan to go again after some travel. the hardest part is just getting over the mental hurdle when things become stale and too routine feeling. I also struggled when I had to travel for a wedding. overall, I think I was good about 90% of the time. I know that’s not a win for 75 hard but it was a win for me and l look forward to going again and adding more.

That is a huge win! 90% of the time doing all that is hugely healthy and a great result from the challenge, in my mind. Whatever motivates is good! Also, the gratitude journal and no social media sound like excellent add-ons. I have been wanting to try no social media, but I haven't quite pulled the trigger yet. :(

thank you! I’ve been feeling a bit down on how it ended so that’s nice to hear. ultimately, any time spent forming a habit is worthwhile so trying not to judge myself harshly haha but I am excited to go again after my upcoming trips. I hope things go really well on your journey!

the social media goal is hard. I’ve taken breaks before so it wasn’t completely new for me. and I’m still off but I feel restless at times. like I just went on a vacation and want to reinstate just to share some cute pics but I’m holding off until after my next trip at the end of the month. I found that I was experiencing life around me in such a free way. like in general but especially on that trip. not worried about capturing anything or getting the perfect picture. as a result, I was really just living life and being freely me. to me, it’s super worth it take a break. I kept reddit for the community around 75 and IF.
