Day 6 Recap: Today I went into the office, forgot my water and lunch, and had to cram all my 75 Hard tasks in after 6pm—but I still got it done.

I normally work from home, but being in the office threw me completely off my routine. Without my Stanley cup, I didn’t drink water all day while catching up with coworkers, and forgetting my lunch didn’t help either. I grabbed a healthy option from Panda Express, but the real challenge came later—fitting everything in once I got home.

It wasn’t pretty, but the point of 75 Hard is pushing through on the hard days. Discipline is built when it would be easier to quit, and Day 6 was exactly that.

Day 5 of 75 Hard is in the books, and let me tell you—the mosquitoes might be the hardest part of this challenge so far. My outdoor workout was miserable thanks to them, but I pushed through and got it done.

I’m still enjoying my current read, Do Over by Jon Acuff, and I’m switching things up—reading a full chapter each day instead of just 10 pages. My goal is to power through as many nonfiction personal development books as I can during this challenge.

On the nutrition side, I made a better choice today: Chipotle for lunch, but instead of my usual heavy burrito, I went with a bowl and swapped their sour cream for non-fat yogurt at home. Small swaps, big difference!

I’m also dealing with a bit of a hamstring injury, which is making workouts tougher. Once the mosquitoes chill out, I’m considering starting Couch to 5K to make my outdoor workouts more structured.

This journey isn’t about perfection—it’s about persistence. And Day 5 was proof that even small wins add up.

Day 4 of 75 Hard is complete, and it came with new challenges. I’m still feeling sick, and now I’m also dealing with fatigue and cramps. The good news is I discovered that doing yoga specifically for when you’re sick or on your period really helps—and thankfully, Yoga with Adriene has amazing videos on YouTube for that.

Cravings weren’t as bad today, and for the first time, water felt easier—I didn’t feel like I had to chug and I actually finished earlier than usual. The bigger challenge was motivation. Since it’s only Day 4, the streak doesn’t feel long enough to keep me accountable, and I kept thinking about starting over when I feel better. But that’s not the point of 75 Hard. The whole challenge is about pushing through when you want to quit, and that’s exactly what I did today.

Follow along on Her 75 Hard Daily as I continue to share the honest ups and downs of the 75 Hard Challenge by Andy Frisella—discipline, resilience, and daily wins even when it’s tough.

Day 3 of 75 Hard is officially done, and it was one of the most challenging days so far. I’m still feeling sick, and the cravings hit hard today—especially for sweet treats like a DQ Blizzard and Oreos. I also learned that things don’t always go my way. I started my outdoor walk, but a call from work forced me to transition inside to my walking pad before finishing my outdoor workout later.

One bright spot: I’ve been listening to older episodes of the 75 Hard Daily podcast from 2022 by Jonathan McLean, and they’ve been a huge source of motivation to keep me going when I feel like giving up.

Follow along on Her 75 Hard Daily as I share the unfiltered truth about what it takes to push through the 75 Hard Challenge by Andy Frisella—even on the hardest days.

Day 3 of 75 Hard is complete—but it wasn’t easy.
Today I pushed through a hot outdoor walk in 94°F weather, wrestled with the temptation of the hot dogs I made for my kids, and seriously considered starting over tomorrow because I’m feeling sick. Instead of quitting, I dug deep, leaned on discipline, and completed every 75 Hard task for the day.

This challenge is already testing my limits, but those tough days are exactly where mental toughness and consistency are built. Follow Her 75 Hard Daily for honest, daily updates on workouts, nutrition, mindset, and the lessons I’m learning along the way.

Day 1 of 75 Hard is in the books! I kicked things off strong by getting both of my workouts done early, but I definitely struggled to keep up with my water intake throughout the day. I’m also loving the book I chose to start with—Do Over by Jon Acuff—and it’s already giving me great insights as I work through this challenge.

One big lesson from today: I need to build a stronger daily routine so I don’t feel behind or stressed about when I’ll complete the required 75 Hard tasks.
