The ‘75 Hard’ Challenge

Day -1:

1 hour - complete assigned trainings

 

Hi everyone. Hope you all are doing good. A lot was on my plate, we readied (painted, cleaned, etc. ourselves because of local labor shortage) and sold our house and moved to a new state in search of greener pastures. I also quit my toxic, soul-destroying job Now hoping to focus on getting back to a routine. Right now, want to start with 10 min meditation, 30 min workout, 60 min study. Hoping to post every other day or weekly.

 

You are my beacon @Gauri03 ! I am not kidding. Exact same thoughts as you - just that unlike you, I didn't start thanks to a badly sprained back doing yoga (perhaps), like very badly sprained back that I was crying for my mother like a child Can you imagine? I am much better since a couple of days and easing back into yoga though have not done any spinning the past two weeks.

My summer has been crazy busy too with family and travels and for a change I was glad when school started, even though I could use a month more of vacation just to catch up! I have done quite okay through the summer with workout, IF and water!

I will start my new challenge on Sunday, don't ask me why. Sunday is what came to mind!

This is what I plan to do -

Workout - 45mins/day
IF - 6pm to 12 noon
Water - 2 liters
Writing - 15 mins
Reading - 15 mins
chanting - 15 mins

PS: I am taking a creative writing course and I need to get my act together with wirting
PPS: I am also trying to get some art work done by the end of next month and I need to get my act together

Thank you for the motivation! I needed this - leaving procrastination station now

 

I am going to join too. I have been practicing a diet plan as recommended by a nutritian I consulted for the past 3 months. She is from the pharmaceutical industry and does a lot of research about ill effects of the drugs I take and suggested how I should change my meal plans. I am recommended to each 70 grams of protein, 77 grams of fat and 105 grams of carb. Fiber taken with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Vitamin pills once a day. I am actually measuring food now in a scale. I don't take any meat and hence most protein are from lentils, cheese, milk, yogurt, pea protein powder (loaded with 20 grams of protein for 2 scoops). I am advised to load more fat toward 6 p.m. that would help me to burn body fat in the night during sleep.

Breakfast Target: 341 cal carb 30 g - Protein 17 g and Fat 17g
Lunch Target: 515 cal carb 45 g - Protein 23 g and Fat 27 g
Dinner Target: 555 cal carb 30 g - Protein 30 g and Fat 35 g
Total Cal: 1,411

Walking: 45 minutes
Upper body and hip exercises: 15 minutes
Water: only between meals and not with meals - 2 liters
