Getting FIT & Healthy

75 Hard Challenge

I have heard about the 75 Hard Challenge and when I first heard it, I thought, I am NOT doing this. It’s not feasible for me, I don’t want to train like I am prepping for a show again, and I don’t have the dedication. But this challenge kept coming up in my head. “But what if I CAN?” “What if I can show myself what I am capable of at the age of 35 after birthing 3 kiddos?” “What if this can help me get stronger, better with my nutrition, and gain more self-control?” I decided that it’s time. I CAN DO HARD THINGS and I’m ready to challenge myself with the 75 Hard Challenge.

This journey is not going to be easy, which is WHY I decided to document it. I took my before pics, weight, and measurements and I am going ALL IN. No holding back. I need to show myself my own potential. I want to see how my body can change. This is not just physical though. I am ready to continue working on my mental health and having more of a positive mindset and grow as a wife, mother, leader, and more importantly, child of God!

I went to the grocery store and took a little over an hour last night to prep my meals. There will be no cheats, no alcohol, and no sweets. I will be fueling my body the right way with healthy choices.

For my meal plan and prep, I used easy recipes that I can cook up quick and have readily available! Meal prepping does NOT have to be challenging and take too much time. I did my prep in a little over an our using all my kitchen appliances. Now, I am a little obsessed with appliances so I had two air fryers going, my stove, and a skillet! While my food was cooking, I cut veggies, prepped salads, and portioned everything out!

One of the requirements during the 75 Hard Challenge is you must take a picture every day of yourself. I will use some as post workout pictures and some plain ol progress pictures!
