So I am back and have been working out fairly regularly. I have been eating horribly and drinking too many IPAs so this is going to be a challenge to complete. I have always wanted to finish one and tried a few times but never made it far, mostly due to a lack of support. I think posting it on NF is going to provide me with the support system I need to complete, and keep me accountable.

 

 

Workouts will be a lot of rucking in the early mornings and every otherish day lifting. Other things I may fill in with are biking, ice hockey, paddle boarding and sometimes when sore walking. I would like to run but am unsure on my knees and if I am really capable while doing two a days.

 

 

Drinking a gallon of water a day is a walk in the park for me. This is supposed to be plain water, not zero sugar gatorade or flavored water. I will however continue to use a nuun once daily since I am doing this in Florida and the heat is coming. Also after my gallon I will likely have a La Croix or some other tasty beverage.

 

 

The reading 10 pages a day will usually be first thing in the morning. I have a ton of self improvement books I am looking forward to getting into. The biggest thing is audiobooks do not count.

 

 

Daily selfie should be pretty easy but I heard it is the one a lot of people fail one. I just have to remember to do it in the morning.

 

 

 

I am going to follow Derek's diet advice here.  a meat, a carb and a veggie. I'll likely have 2 snacks(fruit, nuts) a day and will adjust accordingly. For carbs I have some flavored rice sides, white rice, whole wheat pasta, and whole grains. No mac n cheese, or crappy sources. 

 

 

That's it. I want to post here daily but some days I get crazy busy and the things above will be my priority.

You make it sound so simple for something called "75 hard"!  Look forward to seeing how you do!  You are the 2nd person recently to do this challenge so maybe the more people that do it, the more I will be interested in it?  We will see.

Gods bless Derek Weida and this video in particular.

 

75 Hard is no joke, bruh.  Good work if you manage even 80% compliance, and it looks like you're crushing that already!  💪

How is the challenge going for you?  Haven't seen an update in a couple days.  Feeling back to 100% yet?  I am still getting over whatever sickness hit me last week so looking for motivation to get back at it.
