This week I learned another life lesson from the 75 Hard Challenge even though I finished it 10 days ago.

I learned how important water is to me. 

During the 75 Hard Challenge, I was on my diet every day and was rarely hungry.  I got off the diet and started being hungry all the time.  For a while, I could not figure it out.  I looked back at what I did differently on the challenge.  It was obvious when I looked.  I was no longer drinking 1 gallon of water per day.

During the challenge, I chugged water at different times of the day to keep my intake up.  Last week I had been drinking when I was thirsty and only consuming about half a gallon a day.

Last week I did not want to stick to a diet at all.  I was always hungry.  I don’t know about you, but when I am hungry there is no way I am going to stick to any diet.

This week I am back to drinking a gallon of water a day and it is easy to stick to a diet when you are not hungry.  Water is the secret to weight loss!  Who freaking knew? 

I need to lose another 70 pounds to be at the weight I want.  During the challenge, I lost over 25 pounds.

Last week I put on 1.5 pounds because I was always hungry and eating things I should not have.  This week with the water going back in correctly I should be back on the diet and losing weight again.

The 75 Hard Challenge is a great challenge.  It will make you mentally tough with a side effect being better physical fitness.  Check out my 75 Hard Challenge Outline here.

I am back on the diet and drinking water but not really doing the 75 hard challenge.  I have morphed my challenge list into my power list. 

The five habits I am working on to make myself better are:

1. Slow Carb Diet
2. Drink 1 gallon of water per day
3. Post 1 piece of content per day
4. Network every day
5. Snap In daily

In addition to the Power List, I am also outlining and doing 3 critical tasks per day to move my business and myself forward.

I use Michael Hyatt’s Full Focus Planner to keep track of everything.  I changed how it is supposed to be used a little but it seems to be working well for me.  I have been accomplishing more than ever before.

Even after 75 Hard I continue to work to better myself.

What are you doing today to make yourself better?

How can you be better next week?
