#75 challenge

First day of 75

So the first day went bad. Perhaps I didn't choose the right day to start but hey if I don't do it now, I will never start. There is never a perfect time to start anything.

I had lessons, and meetings with friends and then errands to run from picking up newspaper to running to the post office in time (twice because the first time it was closed for lunch time, even though the schedule online said they closed later). I did the mental tasks early in the morning cause I was aware of the running and finally as I'm writing this I have finished the physical part, both the walk and the workout bit.

I did 15 min workout for the first day, drank 1.5L and I know it's not the 2L i said i should do but taking into account i barely drink a full bottle daily this was amazing to me. I read 10 pages from "As long as lemon trees grow".

My honest opinion is that it is a challenge I find very good as to start practicing discipline and improving the mindset of routine. I will update tomorrow with the new day.

my 75 soft? hard? medium? challenge.

start date: july 1st, 2024 end date: september 14th, 2024

i'm doing this challenge to primarily change my lifestyle and become the best version of myself in a sustainable manner. for that, I decided to combine the two challenges and even add a few new goals.

the 75 soft challenge is not too challenging for me, but the 75 hard one might be a little bit too challenging for me right now to do consistently. also, I wanted to add a few other rules to integrate the challenge more into becoming the best version of myself.

🌷 rules: you can read the original rules here

🌷 my rules:

♡ eat well & no drinking alcohol. eating a balanced diet, with no restrictions or limits because i struggled with eds in the past and i dont want to slip back that. ♡ drink 3,5 liters per day. the majority will be water, i'll be also consuming teas for their health benefits. ♡ two 45 minutes workouts per day, one must be outside. but i can take a rest day on the heaviest day of my period. ♡ 10 pages of nonfiction reading per day. since the start of 2024 i've been reading daily: - 365 days with self-discipline by martin meadows - the daily stoic by ryan holiday in addition to that, the following books are on my tbr: - the power of now by eckhart tolle - mindset: the new psychology of success by carol s. dweck (276 pages) - breaking the habit of being yourself by dr. joe dispenza (329 pages) - why has nobody told me this before? by julie smith (368 pages) - burnout: the secret to unlocking the stress cycle by emily nagosaki (227 pages) - atomic habits by james clear (319 pages) ♡ take a progress picture everyday. - which i won't be posting online! ♡ spend atleast 30 mins per day on a hobby. - i want to restart studying korean and start learning how to code. ♡ no procrastination. - that is probably my biggest flaw. i procrastinate way to much and even put myself in awful situations that could have been easily avoided. ♡ if i fail one habit, i have to restart the challenge!

🌷 progress:

The 75 challenges

Apparently there is three versions of the 75 challenges, hard, medium and soft. I did not know about this has I always heard my friends mention only the hard 75 challenge. I decided to take a look at it just for the curiosity of it, I thought it was like a diet and workout based challenge, which wasn't far off but still there were some elements that made me think about it. Currently I am debating doing the medium one because it seems like a soft start for someone who has a bit of discipline but needs the check list in order to know what to do.

The 75 medium challenge for me and if you want I will leave the list down here for you if you are interested:

15 to 20 minutes of exercise, and personally I count any physical activity as exercise so if you want to practice either cardio, volleyball or running you can do as you please

drink between 2 to 3L of water

Go for a walk 4 times a week, sometimes the weather and work don't really allow for walks so i lower the amount of times

Read 10 pages of any book you desire

Meditate for 3 minutes in the morning, sometimes a break to take deep breaths is a good start

Write your progress down and if you want you can take a picture as to keep the progress visual, I find it a good idea but nonetheless it is fully up to you

This is my version of 75 medium challenge, today is just the first day so maybe later on I will add if I have completed all of these tasks or not. I do want to keep a routine so I will try to use this platform as the report log of the challenge, if you guys don't mind.

If you want you can use this list or use it as inspiration to create your own 75 medium challenge. We work to be the best versions of ourselves.

Day 9

Week 2 - Day 2

A busy day today 😊

Violon practice 🎻

It was hard and frustrating 😤 turns out it's not like bike: your body will NOT remember after 15 years without practice 😅🥲😭

Work out 🤸🏾‍♀️

Gosh, I'm in such a bad shape! I have to adapt every video I see because my body just won't do it. But that just shows how much I need it.

Diet 👩🏾‍🍳

I REALLY need to look into how to eat more with less calories, because I'm eating over my station 😅😭😭
