    I will be trying this at my own pace. I may have to stop if my surgery takes place before it is over.

    *Diet: Stay under weekly calorie goal. Include fresh fruit daily and clean up weekend eating. It’s a bit vague I know.

    *Water: minimum of 75 ounces a day

    *Reading: Read 5 pages a day. I have been slacking on my reading so this will hopefully get me back into it.

    *Exercise: Exercise 4 times a week. Get 2 short walks a week outside in addition to the exercise. I will am to increase this once a month until I am up to 6 exercise days per week.

    *Alcohol: I rarely drink so I will change this to a step goal. Steps: 5,000 a day. This is an increase so it will be a period to get up to that many. I will do this 6 out of 7 days.

    *Extra: Close my Apple Watch rings daily. Also, get both the March and April badges.

    *Picture: day one and day 75

    If I mess up, look past it and get right back at it.

    Day 1️⃣ of 7️⃣5️⃣

    ✅ Exercise: 105 minutes (60 treadmill, 10 elliptical, 30 recumbent bike, 5-ish mins squats & abs 3 sets 15 - not a fan of strength training so adding 1-2 exercises helps me get some in otherwise I don’t do any. Hope to shift to a little more ST before the end of this challenge because I know it’s important.
    ✅ Read: The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle Chapter 1
    ✅ Water: Gallon
    ✅ Selfie: Stomach Pic - not posting 🫣 may post day 75 if visible progress made.
    ✅ Food: Unsure how to accurately calculate 90% whole minimally processed foods. Felt I did okay but just got back from a work trip and haven’t gone grocery shopping yet so making use of what’s available.
    ✅ Sugar: Canned soup had added sugar. Will do better reading labels in the store and not when it’s already in the house 🤦‍♀️ but also not going to be wasteful and throw everything out especially with the cost of food these days.

    Overall felt it was a good day. It helped that I had the day off and had time to focus. We’ll see how the work week goes. Way to crush day 1 F2F💪

    @NouveauRee I really love what you said. I think it makes this version of 75 the best!

    "Everyone has their hard. This will be my modified and personalized version with some stretch to make me stronger and better than yesterday."

    Let's build on yesterday. Every day.

    Day 1/75 (I did 4 days already, but I'll call that a warm-up!)

    ✅Food - good today! Stuck with zero sugar or flour, all whole foods. Tasty stuff.

    ✅No alcohol.

    ✅Exercise - 2 good long walks. Second one much more hilly and faster. I would have done strength workout, but the sun was shining. It felt great.

    ✅Reading - a chapter of Who By Fire (by Matti Friedman). The project I'm working on started as an obsession with that Leonard Cohen song.

    ✅Water

    ✅Thoughts - stopping sugar and flour is proving to be as much of a game-changer as stopping alcohol. I did both in January, but then sugar and general disordered eating was happening a lot in February. Getting rid of sugar and flour always helps, but this time the differences are clearer. Sleep! I am sleeping so well. No headaches. Great energy.

    Day 3/75

    ✅️ Two 45 minute workouts (one outside)
    ✅️ Drink 1 gallon of water
    ✅️ Follow a diet
    ✅️ Read 10 pages non-fiction/self help
    ✅️ Take a daily progress picture
    ✅️ No alcohol
    ✅️ No phone in bed

    I keep track of my water intake of water on an app. However I could've sworn I drank 48 ounces, but only had 32 documented. I still don't remember, but may have gotten an extra 16 ounces of water today. I just went with what I documented. 😝

    About to get into another week at work. Temptations around every corner there!

    So I am starting my 75 easy five days late. Last week/this past weekend was not going to happen with packing, moving, broken crown, and illness. It will either be a 70 easy so I end with everyone, or I will just go an extra five days after everyone. I will start tomorrow since I've already messed up today, but can also use today to really prep for the rest of the week.

    🥗 - Diet - no extra processed carbs (bread/pasta/sweets)
    💦 - Water - 85 oz/day (my current weight in lbs/2 = 85 ish)
    👣 - Steps - 6,000/day
    💪 - Exercise - Once a day for 45 minutes, twice a day when I can
    📖 - Reading - When I get to it, but it will be more than now
    📷 - Take a before and after picture
    🍸 - Limit alcohol to two drinks weekly
    👏 - If I mess up just get back at it

    Unfortunately, I need to step back from even an Easy version of this. My cousin/housemate is needing a lot of care right now, and as her default caretaker, I need to focus on her.
