This is going to be my Simply Succeed version of the 75 Hard challenge. It’s 75 days of discipline and creating healthy habits.
What do I have to do?
Here are the 5 things you will need to do EVERYDAY.
- Track your food
- Follow an exercise program (target daily movement)
- Drink at least 64 ounces of water. No soft drinks allowed.
- Read 10 pages of something that you learn something from
- Journal
Tracking Food
I am going to use the MyFitnessPal app (free version). There are other apps you could use like LoseIt! You could even just be old school and write it on a piece of paper. It’s about accountability of how you are fueling your body. If you don’t want to write it down, don’t eat it.
Follow an Exercise Program
BODi is my JAM! You could go the gym, walk outside, or find free online workouts on YouTube. Create a calendar of what you are going to do each day and when you will do it. Make it like an appointment that you cannot miss.
Drink 64 ounces of Water
Get a reusable water bottle that you know how many ounces it holds. Fill it up and drink all of it before refilling it. That way you have a target of how many refills you need.
Want a bigger challenge: Go full out and drink a gallon of water a day.
Reading & Journalling
This is part of the challenge because we want to have a growth mindset. To grow your mind, you need to learn something new.
The journal part is a reflection and gratitude. Reflecting on how the day went and what you are grateful for.
Why 75 days?
There is really no science behind it. It’s more about creating the habits so that they last. It takes roughly 30-45 days to make the habit. Then add 30-45 days to make it stick for life.
When do we start?
I am starting TOMORROW!! Why wait until a Monday. Plus I will finish a few days before my birthday.
