Wow! It’s Day 27. Funny how time can just slip by and you suddenly realize….”NO! I’ve missed 11 days of blogging my journey on the 75 Hard Challenge!” At first I wasn’t sure whether to cry or suck it up. I decided to suck it up...

It sucks getting older. If I had done this 75 Hard Challenge 10 years ago, I know that my body would have reacted better. I’m doing pretty well -not complaining – but I wish that my muscles and joints didn’t take so long to stop hurting after my...

It’s Day 15 of the 75 Hard Challenge and I am learning a lot about myself and my body. I am seeing what helps and what harms me – both from a food, movement and timing perspective. For example, if I do not keep to my strict routine, things slip and then I...

Today is a weird day. Not sure if I should be happy or melancholy. When I conducted my bio-markers for the 75 Hard Challenge this morning, there were two conflicting results – one of which thrilled me tremendously. The other less so. So what were those? Well,...

I only have one word to describe today. ENERGY! Today on Day 13 of the 75 hard challenge, I am bursting with energy and couldn’t wait to get out of bed. This is actually the best I’ve felt since I began the 75 Hard Challenge. That energy enabled me to...

I hurt. No, seriously. I hurt all over. That HIIT routine I added to my 75 Hard Challenge first workout yesterday really did me in. Plus I didn’t sleep as well as I have been lately and I know it’s all my fault. Why? Because I added watermelon to my meals...

I feel great. No Kidding. I. Feel. Great. Going through the 75 Hard Challenge has really helped me reset and get re-centered. I have released weight, started rebuilding muscle and I’m experiencing a level of energy and focus that I have missed for years. I...

I woke up late today. Well, late compared to my normal waking time of 3 am. 2 hours late actually. So I needed to adjust my schedule today. At 7:07 am, I completed part of my #75Hard Challenge morning activities… Progress picture taken ...

Day 9. I’m thinking of ways to “ketoize” my meals. If you don’t understand what I mean by this, It’s simple. I am trying to see if there is anyway I can change my current diet to include more fat and fewer carbs. Frankly, that will be...

Day 7 of the 75 Hard Challenge. Whoot Whoot!!! I made it! You can only imagine how this feels. I started out this process with the same sense of enthusiasm and trepidation I have whenever I face a challenge, but like everything else I attacked it head on, with...

It’s Day 6 of the 75 Hard Challenge. And I feel totally alive. I woke up this morning full of energy and completed all my ritual activities for the 75 Hard Challenge in record time. Drank my water, took my photo, read my book, did some stretching and...

It’s Sunday. Day 5 of the 75 Hard Challenge. Only 70 more days to go. And I’m very confident that I will successfully finish this. The system that I have put in place works quite well. It’s almost robotic – not quite yet, but it’s...

Day 4. It’s 5:40 pm and I am legitimately tired. My feet are throbbing, my legs hurt and I am seriously thinking of going to bed right now. The 75 Hard Challenge is starting to show its teeth. The day started out fine, but the two 45 workout sessions really...

It’s 4:30 am on Day 4 and I am reminiscing on my activity and experience on Day 3 of the 75 Hard Challenge. To be honest, Day 3 was amazing – I was really in flow. I had tons of energy and was able to accomplish all the 75 Hard requirements by 6 pm. The...

Day 1 is done and in the books. Truth be told, I did not find it that hard. The hardest part was getting my body to adjust to the increased water intake and to fit in the 2nd exercise session. This I knew going in would be a challenge. Other than that, Day 1 was...

There he stood… His proud neck stretched out high as he surveyed the landscape around him. This was definitely an unusual sight. I had never seen a seagull in this area before. What had brought him so far north? There weren’t any waterways around, so how did...

For me, learning how to recover from adrenal fatigue was no picnic. Not only was I consistently tired, but I was always very sad all the time and prone to emotional breakdowns. My doctor’s first reaction was that I should be given anti-depressant medication,...
