About This Journey

The #75Hard challenge is a mental toughness program that requires following five critical daily tasks for 75 days straight. If you miss any task, you start over from day one. This journey documents my experience with the strict regimen: two 45-minute workouts (one outdoors), following a diet with zero alcohol, drinking a gallon of water daily, reading 10 pages of non-fiction, and taking a progress photo every day.

August 10, 2023

Only 5 days left! Feeling the cumulative fatigue but also laser-focused on finishing strong. Outdoor workouts in the summer heat have been brutal but rewarding. The finish line is in sight!

Day 60: Non-Scale Victories & Mental Clarity

July 31, 2023

Two months in! Clothes fit completely differently, and energy levels are sustained throughout the day. The biggest win is the mental clarity - feel sharper, more organized. Reading non-fiction daily contributes significantly.

Day 25: Diet Fatigue & Social Navigation

June 25, 2023

Getting slightly bored with the strict diet options. Had to navigate a social BBQ event, sticking to water and approved foods. Requires planning and willpower, but reinforces the commitment.

Day 5: Early Test - The Alarm Clock Battle

June 5, 2023

First real test of discipline this morning. Alarm went off at 5 AM for the first workout, and every fiber wanted to hit snooze. Got up, got it done. Realized this is as much about winning small battles as the big ones.
