Day One, starting a personalised 75 Hard challenge!

Raven6625

Hey everyone, I'm about to start a fitness challenge are getting to 260lbs. I'm at the heaviest i've ever been and the most unhappy with my weight. I saw the 75 hard challenge and want to give it ago but infuriately for me I have fibromyalgia and other health issues that limit my activity a lot. Here are my rules for my Personalised 75 soft/hard

1. One Gallon/4litres of water a day (please include electrolyte drinks if you do this, IT'S A LOT OF WATER)
2. one 45 minute walk daily (outside) and a second workout up to 45 minutes workout indoors - i am starting at 5 minutes and aiming to get to the full 45 minutes before the 75 days are up. I have to take extreme pacing to build my body up due to my conditions)
3. Eat 1800kcal per day, no takeaway - treats are allowed IF they fit your related diet (i am just healthy eating with limited process sugar but i need them as a moral boost as i have no one to do this journey with)
4. read 10 pages of a non fiction book aiming for a self help book.- I have Atomic habits, the psychology of money, how to stop over thinking, when adulting feels insulting and the courage to be disliked.
5. Morning and Night time routines, Both include: check ins with ChatGPT (my accountability partner to a degree and I'm also using it for YouTube content creating,) Wash face, brush teeth, any medication, unwinding or meditation times. Basically building normally habits i have always struggled with.
6. No Restarts - this is about building habits
7. 8 Pomodoro blocks - 25 minutes blocks with either a 5 or 10 minute break in-between i aim for 5 minutes unless i need a longer stretch. As i am at my desk with these working I will be aiming to stand for at least half of them. I also don't work outside of my YouTube Hobby (no income makes it a hobby)

I want to grow and become a better person. I struggle every day with my health conditions i am hoping to build my body in a way that i'm stronger and have less overall pain as i would like to go back to university to become a dietitian

If you wanna discuss anything with me I'm more than happy to!

Hi Raven, it sounds like you planned out your journey for success.

I like your walk outside ama inside idea.

I will do that too. I can handle 45 in and 45 out!

I bought the book Atomic Habbits 9 months ago and never read it. So, maybe I'll do that this month.

I use electrolytes in my water everyday because I've been carnivore/ketovore ama had a lot of success in that plan and never felt hungry.

Good luck with the rest of your commitments.

I'll be watching your journey checking in.

I still have 50 lbs to go before I got goal weight.

All the best.

Thank you Geti!

The Original rules for the 45 minutes outside and 45 minutes inside, you're meant to do it in every weather!

I never used to drink electrolyte drinks but i have felt better over the last few days drinking them plus the 4litres of water!

Thank you and I hope to show an amazing journey!
