Day Three.

Day Three. 

It's DAY THREE! 

75Hard Day Three is COMPLETE! 💥

My thoughts for the day today? Pilates with resistance bands is NO JOKE y'all.  Serious workout this morning ... I always seem to forget what a workout Pilates actually is ... I'm over here thinking i'm going to have a nice morning. 

But ya know what? I GOT IT THE HECK DONE! Did I modify the crap out of it? YUP. Did I still sweat and burn calories? OH YEAH! ... I still did more then those who were still sleeping :) 

Picture: 

I really can't wait until I can do comparisons ... i'm not expecting results right away but still... 

Exercise: 

Today was a Pilates and remember I told you I sweated... I recommend anyone that needs a full body, low impact workout - it might be my new favorite and somethin I want to work to get better at! I need to video myself so that I can see what I'm doin and what I'm doin wrong! 

Next it was another walk around the complex - this time after I got home so it wasn't in the dark :) I hate walking my complex I feel like i'm constantly going up hill and i'm a turtle! It was a little muggy out today! 

Got all that sweat today -- which has me thinking ... my laundry is goin to be INSANE the next 75 days!

Foods: 

I really need to get better at food photos of my meals and snacks... otherwise this section is going to always be really boring. I was on track today with my foods. I did have to modify a bit but that's life! 

Reading: 

UNFU*K YOURSELF - Pages 31-44

Control and fate was the topic for these pages! 

• Willingness is a state in which we can engage with life and see a situation from a new perspective. It starts with you and ends with you. 
• Either you control your destiny, or your destiny will control you. Life won't stop for your pauses and procrastinations. It won't stop for your confusion or fear. It will continue right along without you, whether you pay an active part or not, the show will go on. 
• Face your reality. Once you adopt the mindset of "I AM WILLING," you will no longer be filled with guilt, resentment, or regret every time you see something you think you "Want.""

Water: 

Still with the 144oz ... it's becoming easier and my body is adjusting ... not having to go pee QUITE as much and I'm finding that I'm actually craving it at times now. I still miss my soda but I'm feeling better so I'm trying to remind myself of the tradeoff. 

So day two was successful. I have an amazing accountability partner and I've prepared my meals and plans for the day which has made it be uber successful! 

Tomorrow may be a different story. It's a longgggggg day with a lot happening ... it will be a true test to see if I can make it past today in the challenge!

Day Two.

Hey friends! 

It's MONDAY! [Never Miss A Monday]

75Hard Day Two is COMPLETE! 💥 

Today was the first day of doin the program and work too! The true test. It wasn't horrid ... I think I can do this as long as I'm structured enough to hit the sack on time each day! Surprisingly I got up at 4:30am on the first alarm. I used to get up on the 8th alarm when it would go off at 6am. My body is so weird. 

I was a bit tired about mid day. Nothing a little more coffee can't help with :) Just trying to keep it before 2 so I can still not only hit my bedtime and actually fall asleep ... crossed fingers. 

Had my go-to breakfast ... I'm not a huge egg fan but I'm trying. I do it for the bread and peanut butter ... let's be honest. 

Picture: 

Here is today's photo ...

See any changes? Yeah me neither :) I think every Sunday I'm goin to do a side by side with day one since I started on a sunday ... that might help ... hopefully. 

Exercise: 

Today I did another Beachbody workout with the 21 day fix extreme program. Some are harder than others. Thankfully I got a sweat worked up! I love to sweat!! 

For my outdoor walk it was later in the day ... I got sidetracked by doing some college work so it was a night time walk around the complex. It's pretty safe I just would have rather been winding down for bed not winding up my body... it's going to make it hard to relax enough. 

Foods: 

I stayed on point today with my foods ... however, my boss, as lovely as he is, has put ME in charge of the company candy ... why? why me! Oh and I went to the bank to make the deposit and I was asked if I wanted a lollipop.  I mean sure ... who doesn't want a lollipop but I politely declined. A day of test. But happy to say that even though the bag has all my favorite candies in it non went in my mouth! :) Did I mention it was a bag full of 150 pieces? UGH! 

Reading: 

Still reading UNFU*K YOURSELF and still enjoying it. It's a very easy read. Sometimes you find yourself going um yeah duh to yourself but realizing as you're reading that it's still not stuff  you're doin ... even though they clearly seem pretty simple and that you're agreeing with. Time to start making some changes! 

Notes from Today: Pages 16-30

• It's not that you have to find the answer, you ARE the answer. 
• Assertive self-talk is when you stake a claim for this moment of time, right here and now. 
• Stop blaming luck. Stop blaming other people. Stop pointing to outside influences or circumstances. 
• You have the life you're willing to put up with. 

Water: 

144 ounces - on track - it was easier today since i'm at my desk all day :) 

Today was a good day to figure out my schedule - still lots to learn!

I hope everyone is rocking the week!
